What's your top upset pick for Week 12?
Matt Bowen, NFL analyst: Panthers (+4) over Vikings. The Minnesota run game with Dalvin Cook makes this pick a little shaky, but I'm going with the scheme of Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady here. Look for Brady to set up quarterback Teddy Bridgewater with high-percentage throws versus the Vikings' split-safety coverages.
Jason Reid, The Undefeated senior NFL writer: Washington (+3.0) over the Cowboys. Don't be surprised if Washington's talented defensive line has its best outing of the season because, well, the Cowboys' offensive front simply isn't what it once was. A big performance from rookie defensive end Chase Young, the second overall pick, could help Washington earn its fourth victory and move into first place in the disappointing -- to say the least -- NFC East.
