NFL Week 12, 2019: 5 Teams on upset alert

Here are five teams that should consider themselves on upset alert for NFL Week 12 of the 2019 season.

After watching the Atlanta Falcons pull off a shocking upset for a second week in a row, what should football fans expect for NFL Week 12? As always, this weekend has plenty of candidates that will be looking to avoid being on the wrong end of another upset in the NFL, one of which happens to be the Oakland Raiders.

Last Sunday, the Raiders were basically handed a gift with the Cincinnati Bengals coming to town, as this seemed like a game that could have easily been over by halftime.

Instead, Cincinnati nearly pulled off their first victory of the season before Oakland eventually held on for the 17-10 victory, their third win in a row.

Over the last few weeks, the Raiders have been heating up at the right time, and could even give the Kansas City Chiefs a run for their money as far as the AFC West title is concerned.

But instead of looking too far ahead, Oakland is focused on their upcoming game against the New York Jets since this is a team coming off two wins in a row, and could cause plenty of problems for Jon Gruden’s squad.

So while the Raiders deserve to be on upset alert for a second week in a row, it’s time to take a look at a few other teams that will be joining Oakland for Week 12.

Since the end of the regular season is right around the corner, every win moving forward is going to be extremely important for Oakland, and numerous other teams fighting for a playoff spot, making this weekend’s set of games even more important.
