If you were traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday, I hope you made it back in one piece and if you were flying, I hope you weren't on Odell Beckham's plane because, man, that seems like it was a lot of drama.After being kicked off his flight, Odell had to do a walk of shame  Avery Bradley Jersey through the airport, which I won't judge him for because who hasn't done a walk of shame.  Odell Beckham kicked off a plane today  Dallas Texas TV (@DallasTexasTV)  Beckham was trying to fly from Florida to California, which is the exact flight the will be making this week, so maybe he should just fly with them. I'm not sure why I'm talking about Odell right now. I'm supposed to be making picks, so let's get to those before I get sidetracked again.Actually, before we get to the picks, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every . If you don't click over, I won't be offended. However, I will be offended if you don't sign up for CBSSports.com's NFL newsletter, which I'm in charge of.  If you do sign up, it's like an early Christmas present for both of us: I get more sign-ups and you get an email from me five days per week, which means signing up is really like five presents in one. If you want to subscribe, all you . I promise not to spam you and I promise Montrezl Harrell Jersey  not to send you pictures of horses or puppies, unle s you enjoy that sort of thing, and if that's the case, then maybe we can work something out.Alright, let's get to the picks.1 p.m. ET (CBS)    Featured Game | Minnesota Vikings vs. New York Jets         Moneyline Spread Total  MIN   NYJ     I'm not sure what the plot of the next Star Wars movie is going to be, but I won't be surprised if somehow factors into it, because based on his body language from Sunday, it's only a matter of time before he turns to the dark side.    Doug Gottlieb (@GottliebShow)  Of course, I would also probably be making that same face if I had just gotten benched and then had to sit in the rain for three straight hours while watching the guy I got benched for ( ) play so well that he's  Landry Shamet Jersey definitely stealing my job for good.   With White running the show, the Jets look like a completely different team. I realize he was only playing the , so I shouldn't get too excited, but this isn't the first time he's put up huge numbers (He threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns against Chicago).  Sunday's Jets win was their third game with 30+ points and 450+ total yards of offense in the last 4 seasons.Mike White started all 3 games.(via ) Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano)  With Wilson running the show, the Jets' offense felt like a turtle stuck on its back, but with White under center, it's like someone flipped the turtle over, put it on a skateboard and then attached rockets to the skateboard.If White plays well this week, the Jets will have a real chance to beat Minnesota. However, even if he goes off, the Jets defense is still going to have to figure out how to stop if New York is  Tobias Harris Jersey going to win. The good news for the Jets is that they have the perfect guy to do that: .  Not only has the rookie been one of the best corners in the NFL this year, but he's already been tested by some of the league's top receivers. Gardner has already seen , and in 2022 and those three guys had an average of just 56.3 receiving yards per game against him. If Gardner holds Jefferson anywhere near that number, the Jets will definitely be thrilled.So who am I picking here?Normally, when I pick Jets games, I just to defer to the all-knowing coin, but the coin actually mi sed a pick this week, so I'm not sure I can trust it this week.  Forgive us, Almighty Coin, for we needed this victory.Please lead us forward with your wisdom in the coming weeks.  New York Jets  Patrick Beverley Jersey (@nyjets)  You know what, it's the coin's fault it mi sed the game. The coin had no idea the Jets were going to bench their starting QB going into Week 12. I'm cutting the coin some slack and we're both taking the Jets in the upset this week.  The pick: Jets 26-23 over 1 p.m. ET (Fox)    Featured Game | Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tenne see Titans         Moneyline Spread Total  PHI   TEN     We're 12 weeks into the season and I have to admit, I still have no idea what to make of the . I think they're a good team, but every time they play a good team, they end up losing. The Titans have played five teams this season that currently have a winning record and they've gone 1-4 in those games. Of course, the flip side of that is that they could very easily have gone 4-1.They lost to the in Week 1 because their kicker mi sed a 47-yard field goal on the final play.They went to overtime with the in Week 9 even though they were Kawhi Leonard Jersey  forced to play a rookie QB who was making just his second career start.They lost to the on Sunday in a game that was tied in the fourth quarter.If the Titans are going to prove that they're a legitimate Super Bowl contender, they need to beat a team that's actually good and this is the week to do it.Tenne see's biggest advantage in this game is that if you could design a team to beat the , it would literally be the Titans. The Eagles can run all over you, but that won't bother the Titans because their biggest strength on defense is stopping the run. The Eagles average 162.5 yards per game on the ground, which is the third-best number in the NFL, but it's going to be tough hitting that number against a Titans team that is only surrendering 84.5 rushing yards per game this year. Since Week 2, the Titans have actually been the best team in the NFL against the run, giving up just 69.2 yards per game.  The Eagles rushed for more yardage in Week 12 (363) than the Titans have given up Wesley Johnson Jersey  in their past FIVE games combined (349). I have no idea why I'm telling you that, but if you have loved ones, you might want to say goodbye to them before this game kicks off because the universe might explode when these two start going at it.The other reason this is a good matchup for the Titans is because the Eagles' one defensive weakne s is stopping the run and that's not exactly a weakne s you want to have when you're about to face .The Titans are a decided underdog here and let me just say that there is no better coach in NFL history at winning as a decided underdog than Mike Vrabel. Since he took the Titans coaching job in 2018, Tenne see has been an underdog of three points or more a total of 28 times and Vrabel has gone 19-9 in those games. Under Vrabel, the Titans have mastered the art of winning games they're not supposed to win and I think they're going to do it again on Sunday.  The pick: Titans 23-20 over Eagles1 p.m. ET (CBS)    Featured Game | Houston Texans vs. Cleveland Browns         Moneyline Spread Total  HOU   CLE     When a 4-7 team is playing a one-win team in early December, that's usually a game that no one really pays attention to,  Jerome Robinson Jersey but that won't be the ca
