Throughout the 2024 season, ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøNetwork analysts will provide one bold prediction heading into each week's slate of games (see the full Week 12 schedule).
With both the Ravens and Chargers sitting at seven wins and holding on to hopes of a division title run, Monday Night Football is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the year. So let's go BIG. Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and surging stud Justin Herbert combine for nine total touchdowns and 65 fantasy points, with the game-winner going to Ladd McConkey in overtime.
A slew of former Cowboys followed Dan Quinn to Washington during the offseason, and they'll all face their former team on Sunday. Quinn's defense entered this week with the eighth-most sacks in the league (29), led by Dante Fowler Jr. (8.5), . Washington takes advantage of a down-and-almost-out Dallas team, racking up a whopping 10 sacks in this NFC East revenge game.
Coming off back-to-back wins, the Panthers are set to host the Chiefs, who just suffered their first lost of the season. With Bryce Young leading the team, Carolina takes the back-to-back reigning Super Bowl champs to the brink ... before ultimately losing on a 53-yard field goal by Spencer Shrader, as Kansas City logs its league-leading ninth comeback win and eighth one-score victory.
Fantasy football is simple: Find a soft spot and attack. That soft spot is currently the Cowboys' defense. Dallas has allowed a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns this season and gives up the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. Enter Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr., who put up a 20-point game . Look for him to top that this week as the latest running back to take advantage of Dallas’ porous run defense.
The Eagles have been on a roll, winning six straight, and although their offensive megastars (Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown) get the headlines, the defense has been the best in the ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷Íøin that span. Conversely, the Rams have experienced some inconsistencies, but the passing offense ranks in the top two since their elite receivers returned from injury in Week 8. On Sunday night, Matthew Stafford will throw for 300-plus yards, while Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp will each log 100-plus yards and at least one touchdown for the second straight week. This fuels Los Angeles' upset victory over Philly.
Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston have played well of late. On Monday night, both Chargers receivers explode for a huge game against the Ravens, who have allowed the most yards and touchdowns to wideouts this season. In a game where Jim Harbaugh's Bolts air it out more than usual, these two young L.A. pass catchers show out on the national stage with 100 yards and a touchdown apiece.
