Headline: Bold Predictions for Week 12: Patriots Poised for Historic Rushing Game, McCaffrey Eyes Trifecta
NFL.com analysts are making some daring forecasts for Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season. Among the most audacious predictions is a potentially record-breaking rushing performance by the New England Patriots against the Cincinnati Bengals. Analysts foresee TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Drake Maye and company racking up over 400 rushing yards and four touchdowns, a feat only accomplished twice in the Super Bowl era, both times involving the Bengals.
Elsewhere, the Detroit Lions are expected to bounce back with a strong offensive showing against the New York Giants, with five different Lions players predicted to find the end zone against a vulnerable Giants defense.
In a clash of titans, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense is projected to continue its dominant streak, holding the high-powered Dallas Cowboys offense to single-digit points for a third consecutive week.
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is predicted to have a historic game against his former team, the Carolina Panthers, scoring a rushing, receiving, and passing touchdown in the same game, a feat he has accomplished once before and only five players since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger have ever achieved.
Finally, the defenses of the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to create chaos in their matchup, with analysts predicting a combined six takeaways between the two turnover-hungry units.
