NFL Week 12 Predictions, Sleepers & Betting Tips
Hear’s a breakdown of the key information from the provided ESPN article snippets:
1. Jaxon smith-Njigba & Sam Darnold (Seahawks)
* Issue: Sam Darnold’s eyes tended to lock onto his primary receiver, missing opportunities with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He also threw interceptions while trying to extend plays.
* Coach Macdonald’s Take: He doesn’t want to stifle Darnold’s playmaking ability, but needs him to recognize when to move on to the next play instead of forcing a risky throw.
2. Shedeur Sanders (Browns)
* Focus for the Week: A week of first-team practice will allow the Browns to build a game plan specifically for sanders, playing to his strengths (downfield accuracy) and addressing his weaknesses (handling the blitz).
* Expected Strategy: Expect the Browns to use pocket movement to give Sanders time and rhythm to get the ball out, especially with a strong pass rusher like Maxx Crosby coming after him.
3. Tyler Shough (Saints)
* Positive Signs Before Bye: Shough was building good chemistry with receivers Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson, opening up the passing game and utilizing his mobility.
* Expectation After Bye: The Saints are hoping he continues to build on that momentum.
