Why this could be the worst weekend of the entire NFL season

Another round of NFL games is just around the corner as the Browns and Steelers prepare to kick off on Thursday night, but it doesn’t exactly look like a week to enjoy.

In fact, Week 12 has the grim potential to go down as the worst of the entire regular season.

That’s because only one of the thirteen games — the Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) vs. the Baltimore Ravens (7-4) — will pit teams with winning records against each other over the next four days.

And we’ll have to wait until Monday night to see it play at SoFi Stadium.

Last season’s Super Bowl runners-up, the San Francisco 49ers (5-5), will also face the Green Bay Packers (7-3) in the only other notable game of the weekend, but elsewhere there is no a lot to be excited about. about.

The Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) will undoubtedly bounce back from their first loss of the season against the struggling Carolina Panthers (3-7), while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) are expected to suffer another dismal loss. York Giants outfit (2-8).

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ matchup with Justin Herbert and the Chargers is the only game of Week 12 that pits two teams with winning records against each other

Another affair that will likely be one-sided is the flying Minnesota Vikings (8-2) versus the Chicago Bears (4-6).

Nearly every game of Week 12 pits a good team against an opponent in tough circumstances, meaning it’s entirely possible we’re in for some lopsided games.

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-2) vs. the Los Angeles Rams (5-5) might be the only other intriguing matchup, but the latter are coming off a miserable home loss to the Miami Dolphins that derailed their recent progress. .

Next week’s Thanksgiving schedule offers much more hope for NFL fans looking for their festive football fix.

In Week 13, the Eagles will face the Ravens, the Steelers against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Arizona Cardinals against the Minnesota Vikings and, at the top of the pack, the Buffalo Bills host the 49ers.
