The latest "Harbaugh Bowl" went the way of the Baltimore Ravens (John's way), winning 30-23 at the Los Angeles Rams. Baltimore has now won five straight Monday Night Football games, tied for a team record.

No teams have clinched Playoff spots yet, nor has any team been officially eliminated yet. So there is still plenty of time for all of these NFL teams to make a postseason push now that we're deeper into the season.
Week 13 continues an NFL tradition- football on Thanksgiving. In recent times, a somewhat newer deal is also part of this week- Black Friday football. We say goodbye to November and enter December. Are you ready for the ride? If not, let me get you ready...
* This is your Thanksgiving football schedule. Joey D's Detroit Lions host the Chicago Bears in an NFC North showdown. Next up is a trip to Arlington, TX; as the Dallas Cowboys will tussle with Jump_Ace's New York Giants. And in the nightcap, Omnis' Miami Dolphins will depart from sunny and warm Florida and going to the Frozen Tundra to meet the Green Bay Packers.
* Black Friday shopping can be chaotic. Things may get chaotic in Kansas City when the 1st-place AFC West Kansas City Chiefs take on the last-place AFC West Las Vegas Raiders. Could it be a black... and silver Black Friday?
* Pittsburgh got upset on Thursday Night Football at the Cleveland Browns last week. This game was seen as a Trap Game for Pittsburgh. Now after failing to one Ohio NFL team, the Steelers will be at the other Ohio NFL team- Dolph Drago's Cincinnati Bengals.
* A cross-country flight is in order as the Seattle Seahawks travel all the way to East Rutherford, NY to meet Blitz24 and kjb's New York Jets.
* The Houston Texans may be a sinking ship as expectations have gotten the better of them. The Texans will try to survive at the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday to prevent further damage to their season in this AFC South showdown.
* From the AFC South to the NFC South, the Carolina Panthers' lovely stadium will play host to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carolina is thinking upset.
* That Billie Eilish song about Birds of a Feather is rather overplayed in Facebook stories and TikToks. However, "birds of different feathers" describes this upcoming match as the Philadelphia Eagles head down to Baltimore to take on the Baltimore Ravens. Which birds will prevail in this one?
* Sunday Night Football this week involves the San Francisco 49ers at the Buffalo Bills.
* Monday Night Football this week involves the Cleveland Browns going a Mile High to meet the Denver Broncos. Both teams are in the lower half of their respective division standings.
That's all. Get psyched up for the new week! Enjoy this week's games!
