Notes on the Picks Above: NFL Week 12 Predictions
NFL Week 12 Monday Night Football Betting Tips: Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings
The Monday Night Football game to end Week 13 will be the Bears vs Vikings. The Bears are underdogs but only at +3.0 heading into this game. The injury report for this game had Justin Jefferson as questionable after Saturday’s practice. Meanwhile, the Bears have a pretty clear depth chart for injuries among starters, a good spot to be in as their bye week looms next week.
Chicago has gone 3-4 in their last seven games, not a bad trend for this franchise. You could consider their showing last week against Detroit to be a little bit convincing as they only lost by a small margin after a competitive game. But Minnesota has gone 6-2 in their last eight games to emerge as a relevant team at this stage of the season.
These two teams did meet one time this season, with Minnesota winning 19-13. Kirk Cousins only had a modest game that day. With Joshua Dobbs now at the helm for Minnesota it feels like anything is possible in this contest. Expect the Bears to cover with the help of their handicap of +3.0, noting some improvements over the last two months.
Bills vs Eagles prediction: NFL Week 12 odds
One of the bigger showdowns of the week is the Buffalo Bills vs Philadelphia Eagles game. However, this is also a game that could be disappointing. Buffalo has not really played like an elite team so far this season. Bettors need not look further than the home-and-away splits here. Buffalo is 1-3 on the road this season while Philadelphia is 4-0 at home. Philly is also the multiweek top team in our Top Ten NFL Power Rankings. Last week, our rankings predicted the result of every game (ie. the higher-ranked team went undefeated in our rankings). We’re not backing away from tipping the Eagles, our No. 1, unless the odds against them are really long. The Bills at +145 could be viewed as a joke but Philly at -165 looks like a Black Friday weekend basement door-crashing bargain.
Baltimore Ravens vs LA Chargers: NFL Week 12 Predictions
The Ravens enter this game 8-3 and the Chargers, who are arguably in a must-win situation, enter the game having not defeated a team as talented as Baltimore all season. Gus Edwards promises to have a big game as Baltimore nurses some injuries in their receivers. Take the Ravens to win this Sunday Night Football game in NFL Week 12.
Jags vs Texans: NFL Week 12 Predictions
In looking over a lot of the games above, the difficult one is the Jacksonville Jaguars vs Houston Texans. This is also a very big game in the NFL standings as the two teams battle it out for their division. In looking over the odds, it was one of those games where you have to feel that the oddsmakers basically have everything forked. In what should be a close battle, bettors might be happy with any kind of handicap and we leaned to Houston’s small points accordingly.
Bengals vs Steelers: NFL Week 12 Betting Tips
One of the best bets for the week is with the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals. Jake Browning will be in for the Bengals and they are only +1.5 underdogs? The Bengals are up against a really good defense with a QB2 that has not had hardly any playing time in his career and he’s 27 years old. The confidence has to be with Pittsburgh in Sunday’s upcoming game.
Rams vs Cardinals: NFL Week 12 Betting Odds
You will likely be much happier with Arizona and Kyler Murray at +2.5 than Matthew Stafford at -2.5. While NFL games are more than just about QBs, Arizona has been at a higher level in the last two weeks with Murray back in action. They actually got one of their two wins this season and last week, they only lost by five to a strong Houston team.
Kansas City Chiefs vs Las Vegas Raiders: NFL Week 12 Betting Tips
The Las Vegas Raiders have been playing better in recent weeks. However, the injury report for this Sunday’s game against the KC Chiefs says that Maxx Crosby is doubtful. When you are gunning for a win over a top team, you need your top players to be at their best. You have to know that KC’s offensive line and quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, would be energized if Crosby did in fact miss the game.
The total points for this game is set at 43.5. That looks like a really low total for the game except the Chiefs have not been explosive this season. With some pretty low scores in their recent outings, bettors should take the points on Vegas here. If this game ends up being the low-scoring game that the points total implies, then +10.0 on LV could be huge. This is a team that has played well at home this season with a 4-1 record for wins and losses. Even with the game that they lost, that was just a five-point spread.

Browns vs Broncos Injury Report: NFL Week 12 Betting Tips
In upcoming NFL action, the Cleveland Browns and the Denver Broncos will face one another on Sunday, November 26th, 2023 (4:00 PM ET). The Broncos are favored in the game at -1.5 (bet365). The Browns vs Broncos injury report is a huge one for the week.

Cleveland vs Denver Injury Report: Recent NFL News
Confused by abbreviations? Injury-report codes are in the tweet below.
The Cleveland Browns remain in the mix for the playoffs despite losing their QB1 for the season. They are 7-3 thanks, in part, to a victory last week that was a bit surprising. However, heading into Week 12, the Browns have a huge injury report. The team listed seventeen names on the report throughout the week. They included Myles Garrett on the report with an ankle concern. However, he and several other Cleveland Browns were FP on Friday. There certainly is some shock value in seeing the length of the report. However, there also appeared to be plenty of fluff on it.

The Denver Broncos did not have many injured players this week. Although they listed nine players on their half of the report, a lot of them were in good shape by Friday.
Browns vs Broncos Injury Report: Betting Tips
This is a game that will test believers on each side. The Browns are down their QB1 but they are clearly not out of the mix, not with the kind of defense that they are capable of playing. Meanwhile, Denver is back to .500 after an 0-3 start to the season. The Broncos did beat KC, Buffalo, Minnesota, and Green Bay in their last four games. In all honesty, that is a difficult schedule to go 4-0 against. Bettors should be taking Denver on the moneyline in this game. They are at -125 from that perspective (bet365).
Patriots vs Giants: NFL Week 12 (early pick recommendation)
The Patriots vs Giants is a great game to target for an early pick. The Patriots will be on a bye in Week 11. That means when Week 12 rolls around, they should have a much better-than-average week for injuries. Meanwhile, the Giants will have to face Washington in Week 11. You know that Bill Belichick will be watching the New York game in Week 11 closely and taking notes on the Giants rookie QB. Expect the Pats to be very prepared for this Week 12 game and a win to follow.
Buccaneers vs Colts: NFL Week 12 (early pick recommendation)
If you are looking for an early-bird bet for Week 12, then you have to love backing the Colts at home. They are -120 heading into their Week 11 bye week. But Tampa Bay has a really tough game in Week 11 against a team in the mix to win the Super Bowl, the San Francisco Giants. Don’t be surprised if the Buccaneers are really banged up in Week 12, which would really be to the Colts’ advantage in a game that otherwise looks pretty close.
49ers vs Seahawks: NFL Week 12 (GAME WAS THURSDAY)
Is it safe to say that the 49ers have it rolling again? They had a big stall in October and early November, losing three straight. However, they seem to have things back in order as they head into Seattle for Week 12. The 49ers are -6.5 favorites for the game as they sit on top of their division.
Meanwhile, Seattle finds itself in the playoff bubble. Heading into Week 12, they are a 6-4 team. They probably won’t win the division. But if they can get a home win against the 49ers here, then at least they can be optimistic. But Seattle is heading into this week with question marks for their injury report involving QB1 Geno Smith, RB1 Kenneth Walker III, and WR2 Tyler Lockett. Seattle has not eclipsed 30 points since their bye week in Week 5. You have to think they’ll have trouble contributing their share of points against San Francisco’s defense. Take the UNDER in this game at -110 for a total of 43.0 (bet365).
Miami Dolphins vs New York Jets: NFL Week 12 Friday Game
Tua Tagovailo did not have a good game statistically on Friday. However, his Miami Dolphins prevailed in a game where Miami had a very good ground attack that included two touchdowns for 94 yards.
Miami Dolphins Passing Statistics for Tua Tagovailoa
C/ATT: 21/30
YDS: 228
AVG: 8.1
TD: 1 to Tyreek Hill
INT: 2
SACKS: 2-15
RTG: 77.5
A two-interception day will almost always be forgettable one for a quarterback. This performance could hurt Tagovailoa a bit in the MVP talk. However, Miami is now 8-3 as the business end of the season approaches.
Note: This game is now over: Miami won 34-13 and the betting recommendation below was a winner.
The New York Jets have faded in recent weeks. They enter this week at just 4-6 and with playoff aspirations that are starting to fade. Furthermore, the Jets have jumped the proverbial shark in their QB position. They relegated former starter Zach Wilson to the QB3 position and will go with Tim Boyle in their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins.
The Dolphins themselves have a lot of injury problems. They might be in tough in trying to cover a big spread. However, the OVER/UNDER for total points has been set at just 41.0 with bet365 and that looks like a small total still. NFL fans will note that the upcoming game is a Friday game as there is irregular scheduling this week.
