NFL WEEK 12 PICKS: Well-rested Arizona Cardinals will ground Seahawks Back to video
There’s nothing like an unexpected, wild snow game in mid-November between two heated rivals. This one delivered some excitement thanks to the elements with the Browns’ cover hardly ever in doubt.
INDIANAPOLIS +7.5 over Detroit
On one hand, the Lions have been running over everyone they’ve face. But, on the other, the Colts have a surprisingly good record against the spread and Detroit has an early Thanksgiving game against the Bears to look ahead to.
HOUSTON -8.5 over Tennessee
The Texans got Nico Collins back last week to boost the offence and Will Anderson Jr. is back at practice this week to boost the defence. With a couple of wins against lesser foes, the Texans should start building some momentum.
New England +7.5 over MIAMI
While the Dolphins surely will win this one to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, spotting more than a TD and leaving the backdoor open is a bit much.
CHICAGO +3.5 over Minnesota
The Bears probably deserved the win last week against the Packers before falling short. They’ve got another home date against a division rival and should be able to keep it close once again.

Kansas City -11 over CAROLINA
The Chiefs get a chance to bounce back from their first loss by crushing the lowly Panthers. They’ve only won one game by double-digits, but this should be the second.
Tampa Bay -5.5 over N.Y. GIANTS
Here you go, the chance to bet against Tommy DeVito behind a terrible O-line facing a good defence – and you’re giving less than a touchdown. There’s a chance Mike Evans returns.
Dallas +10.5 over WASHINGTON
I think we’ve finally slid too far with the Cowboys hate. They’ve shockingly played better on the road and the Commanders offence has started to struggle.
Denver -5.5 over LAS VEGAS
If the Broncos have real intentions on trying to make the playoffs, this is a game they need to win and dominate. The Raiders are circling the drain.
Arizona +1 over SEATTLE
The Cards are the surprise leader of the NFC West, have won four in a row and are coming off their bye. Do I think they can beat the inconsistent Seahawks? Why not?
San Francisco +2.5 over GREEN BAY
I just can’t quit the 49ers, no matter how many times they break my heart and bank account. At least this time around they’re getting points and face a Packers team that hasn’t been very explosive, either.
Philadelphia -3 over L.A. RAMS
Did the Rams really just have to hold on against the Patriots? The Eagles have been flying and the defence seems to get better by the week, which is the opposite of what happened last year.
L.A. CHARGERS +3 over Baltimore
The Harbaugh Bowl is back! We’re going to hear that a lot before and during Monday night. The Chargers defence should be well prepared for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry while the offence is balanced and can exploit the Ravens shaky defence.
Last week: 11-3
This season: 82-82-2
