Football is dorsum for another calendar week of activity.

Terminal calendar week, our picks against the spread went a tough 6-9, our worst week of the season then far. Let's see if we can bounciness dorsum with a strong weekend, starting with three games on Thanksgiving.

Take a look below at our best bets against the spread for Week 12 of the NFL flavour (* indicates home squad).

OVERALL: 84-lxxx-1

Detroit Lions* (+3) over Chicago Bears

Information technology'south a great year to swallow Thanksgiving dinner early and salve your football watching for afterward in the afternoon. Just if you are tuning in to bet Bears-Lions, back Detroit.

The Bears are basically in open revolt against head coach Matt Nagy, who earlier this week had to deny reports that he's set to be fired after the holiday. Equally for the Lions, despite still being winless on the year, they've played with pride in spots. Taking the points, the coin line, and the Lions to get their first win of the flavor.

Dallas Cowboys* (-vii.5) over Las Vegas Raiders

Tread advisedly with this game, as the Cowboys are pretty banged up offensively and could be missing their ii top receivers. Notwithstanding, Dallas should take care of concern at dwelling against a Raiders team in free fall. Just await for the final injury report to come out before putting any money downward.

Buffalo Bills (-half dozen.5) over New Orleans Saints*

The Bills are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Colts terminal week. Information technology feels like the short calendar week will assistance them get back to playing their game against a Saints team that hasn't looked great with Trevor Siemian at quarterback the by few weeks.

Philadelphia Eagles (-3.v) over New York Giants*

The Giants fired offensive coordinator Jason Garrett this week equally if he were the entirety of the problem in New York rather than a symptom of the broken franchise. Get birds.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-three.5) over Indianapolis Colts*

Indianapolis is one of the hottest teams in football game right now, winners of three direct and five of their terminal vi games. Hot streaks even out over time, and it feels similar the Buccaneers a hitting their step just every bit the Colts are set to stumble a chip. Indy should notwithstanding be a contender come up playoff time, but their postseason status is going to come up down to the final weeks.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+4.5) over Cincinnati Bengals*

AFC North divisional games experience similar they tend to be tightly contested. The Steelers' defense is notwithstanding dealing with a slew of injuries, but there'south enough depth there to slow down the Bengals a scrap. This feels like a relatively low-scoring matter, so accept the points.

Tennessee Titans (+vi.5) over New England Patriots*

Last week the football earth woke upwards to an all also familiar troubling realization: the Patriots were at it again. Beak Belichick has now won 5 directly games and is suddenly a game out of first place in the AFC and could accept control of the conference with a win over the Titans on Sunday. They might very well win this game, only this is too many points to give to a Tennessee squad eager to re-assert themselves after a disappointing showing against the Colts.

Carolina Panthers (-two) over Miami Dolphins*

Cam Newton'southward return to Carolina didn't go as planned, with the Panthers losing to Washington. Nevertheless, Newton looked solid, and Carolina still has the potential to make dissonance in the NFC. The Dolphins experience a scrap overrated after rattling off three straight wins, but ii of those were confronting the Texans and Jets. While they all count the same in the standings, when gambling, non all wins are created equal.

Atlanta Falcons (-1) over Jacksonville Jaguars*

Fifty-fifty at four-6, the Falcons are hilariously in contention for the terminal playoff spot in the NFC. The Jaguars are already expressionless and looking at games against the Rams and Titans next on the schedule. Falcons should cruise.

Houston Texans* (-2.5) over New York Jets

Zach Wilson should be back in action for the Jets, but it doesn't matter. The Texans take been playing tough the past couple of weeks, despite their horrid record.

Denver Broncos* (+two.5) over Los Angeles Chargers

The Broncos are home underdogs at high altitude subsequently everyone spent the weekend eating too much turkey. I can't imagine a worse spot for a road squad than being bloated on stuffing and gravy at Mile High Stadium.

Minnesota Vikings (+3.5) over San Francisco 49ers*

This feels similar a coin flip. Either have the half-point hook or get out it solitary.

Los Angeles Rams (+1) over Light-green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers is apparently battling a example of COVID Toe (do not google image search!) and has not looked 100% since his render to the field. Until we see the reigning MVP looking like his old self again, the Packers are difficult to trust, especially against a team with as much firepower every bit the Rams.

Baltimore Ravens* (-3.5) over Cleveland Browns

Lamar Jackson should be back nether center for the Ravens in this 1 after missing terminal week's game due to illness, simply proceed an centre on the injury report earlier betting this game.
