Thursday Night Football
Week 12 Kicks Off Here
A meeting of sophomore quarterbacks and a rematch of the third-highest scoring game in league history highlight the Week 12 NFL schedule. Bears vs. Jets will see Justin Fields and Zach Wilson facing off for the first time after both were top 12 picks in last year’s draft. They’ve experienced growing pains and New York is a six-point home favorite in Week 12 NFL odds.
Week 11 in the NFL. Teams was beginning to be eliminated from playoff contention, and the playoff picture is becoming more apparent. Week 12 will hold keys to even more movers, and show who’s playing for pride.
Thanksgiving presents a trio of games right off the bat, with Sunday and Monday providing some interesting closing matchups involving Pennsylvania teams. There are also a couple of massive spreads in favor of the Dolphins and Chiefs.
Our Picks:
Lions vs Bills
Bills -9.5 @10/11
The Bills had some experience adjusting to Ford Field. Although Josh Allen continued to slump, they had to be pleased about getting the traditional running game going and also spreading the ball around more effectively in the passing game. The Lions’ young defense has played much better of late and made some big plays, but they struggle to multiple, diverse offenses.
Jared Goff hasn’t played all that well during the Lions’ winning streak and the negative game script will take them out of sticking with the run. Allen has his best game in a month in a complete road rout in a familiar venue.
Cowboys vs Giants
Over 45.5 Points @10/11
The Giants aren’t dependent too much on the downfield passing game and will stay patient running Saquon Barkley after he failed to become a real factor against the Lions. Daniel Jones’ rushing supplement also can keep New York in a key division rivalry rematch from a 23-16 Dallas road win in Week 3. Dak Prescott will be playing this time, but the Cowboys haven’t changed their smart run-heavy identity much of late. The number is just a little too big for teams that mostly play each other tight. In the end, it’s advantage Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott with their QB over Barkley and Jones.
Vikings vs Patriots
Vikings ML @5/7
The Vikings’ 8-2 record has come under fire after the Cowboys ripped them 40-3 at home following their improbable road rally over the Bills in Week 10. Kirk Cousins got rattled into nothingness vs. Dallas’ defense. He doesn’t tend to play well in prime time and New England’s defense under Bill Belichick is also concerning. But between Dalvin Cook. Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson, the Vikings have the options to score enough points here as the Patriots’ offense is severely limited with a shaky Mac Jones.
