Can you believe we're already at week 12 of the NFL season? Where did time go? As you can see, the picks are close. This one is going to come down to the wire. Who's going to take it?

With the season officially underway, the Complex Sports team is rolling out a bunch of new NFL content. We rolled out our (controversial) QB rankings list, where we ranked every single starting NFL QB from worst to best. We'll have weekly fantasy content this year, as well as a ton of gambling content to help you win (probably lose) money all season. We'll have interviews, videos, dispatches from games, and much more all season long. Basically, we've got you covered all over the NFL season this year and we can't wait.

As part of our weekly NFL content this season, the Complex Sports team is doing weekly picks on every single game each week. These picks are straight up, but don't worry, Chopz and Adam will have a fresh gambling column with their best bets of the week every Friday. We'll be keeping track of the predictions from Chopz, Adam, Zion, and Angel all season long, with the ultimate bragging rights on the line. So check out our picks and be sure to jump on Twitter and yell at us for how bad you think they are.

2019 Standings:

Chopz: 97-64-1

Adam: 95-66-1

Zion: 96-65-1

Angel: 100-61-1

Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans

Chopz: This game is actually super important for the AFC South. I’ll take the Texans to bounce back after laying an egg vs. the Ravens.

Adam: Colts have fared very well in Houston, going 6-0-1 against the spread over the last seven meetings in the series. But we’re not picking against the spread. We’re picking straight up winners and I’ll take Deshaun Watson and the Texans to ball out after last week’s no-show.

Angel: The Texans will come through with an important win after getting spanked last week.

Zion: Going with Deshuan after last week’s performance was cheeks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons

Chopz: The Falcons are back. They keep rolling here.

Adam: It would totally be Atlanta to pick up some momentum with two straight wins and then drop one at home to a division foe. So what the hell, give me Tampa Bay.

Angel: Falcons at home.

Zion: Man I promised I wouldn’t pick the Falcons again but I gotta go with Atlanta. They’re hot.

New York Giants vs. Chicago Bears

Chopz: Man, the Bears are a mess. Did they really fake a Mitch injury just to bench him? Give me the Giants on the road.

Adam: Whoever is quarterbacking the Bears still makes them a better squad than the putrid Giants. Bears may not cover, but they win.

Angel: I don’t trust the Giants offense enough to pick them here. Da Bears.

Zion: Bears gonna have Daniel Jones shaking in his boots.

Miami Dolphins vs. Cleveland Browns

Chopz: I don’t ever remember the Browns being favored by double digits in a game. I don’t know what to do with my hands. Anyways, Browns win.

Adam: So badly want to see the Dolphins win but that ain’t happening.

Angel: Browns.

Zion: Browns.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Chopz: I’ll go with Seattle here on the road because Philly’s offense looks broken.

Adam: The dreaded 1 p.m. ET kickoff for a west coast team will not deter me from taking Seattle.

Angel: This is gonna be a great game but I think Philly is who their record say they are and Seattle is coming off a bye. Seahawks.

Zion: His name is Russell. Last name Wilson.

Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints

Chopz: Saints take this.

Adam: Justifying taking the Panthers with the way Kyle Allen played last week coupled with the fact they’re in New Orleans this week is sheer lunacy. Saints here. That being said, it’s a division game so closer than the experts think.

Angel: The Saints win this in a close one.

Zion: Saints.

Oakland Raiders vs. New York Jets

Chopz: I think the Jets actually win this game. They’ve been playing better and that’s a tough road game across the country for the Raiders.

Adam: Same situation as the Seahawks, so be careful. I want the Jets to lose. I’m rooting for the Jets to lose. I believe the Jets will lose.

Angel: Tha Raidahs.

Zion: Raiders.

Denver Broncos vs. Buffalo Bills

Chopz: Broncos go to Buffalo and get a win.

Adam: In an homage to all the batshit crazy #BillsMafia tailgaters, Buffalo will suplex the Broncos into submission before the fourth quarter.

Angel: The Bills are for real, folks.

Zion: In Buffalo, I’ll go with the Bills.

Detroit Lions vs. Washington Redskins

Chopz: Lions have been pretty decent even without Stafford, so I’ll ride with them.

Adam: Feel like Washington’s due for an upset for absolutely no good reason.

Angel: No Stafford? Haskins gets his first win.

Zion: Lions win. SELL THE TEAM.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Chopz: Will the Bengals get their first win? No.

Adam: Mason Rudolph comes out swinging, lands a few early haymakers, and the Steelers rout the sorry-ass Bengals.

Angel: The Steelers have been looking good, so I’ll take them even though Mason Rudolph should be suspended for being a dickhead.

Zion: Steelers.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tennessee Titans

Chopz: Titans at home over the Jags.

Adam: Flip a coin. It came up Jacksonville.

Angel: The Jags on the road.

Zion: Jags.

Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots

Chopz: Well, this should be good. I honestly don’t know who to pick. I guess give me the Patriots.

Adam: If the Patriots offense was rolling I feel like Dallas would get trucked up in New England. Since the Patriots offense is not currently rolling, I’m going to swerve and say Dallas pulls off the upset because I’m pretty sure nobody else here will have the cojones to take the Cowboys.

Angel: I hate to say it but give me the Cowboys here. The Pats looked shitty last week and the Cowboys are a much better team than Philly. Get ready for New England to truly be tested these next couple weeks.

Zion: The two most hated Franchises in the game, I hope it’s a tie but I’ll pick the Pats at home.

Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers

Chopz: Whew, this will be good, too. I’ll take the Packers.

Adam: Can’t believe the Packers are getting 3 points in this one. Take the points, take ‘em moneyline.

Angel: Packers on the road because Porno Jimmy is a fraud.

Zion: Packers.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Rams

Chopz: Ravens roll.

Adam: The Rams looked marginally better last week feeding Todd Gurley the ball. Obviously, they need to stick with that strategy. But how can you pick against the MVP in Lamar Jackson and Ravens right now?

Angel: Ravens.

Zion: Ravens.
