NFL Week 12 Picks Against the Spread

NFL Week 12 is here. Picking NFL games straight up is hard enough, but picking against the spread is even tougher. Here are the NFL week 12 picks against the spread. (Spreads are from Tallysight as of Tuesday morning)

Last Week: 7-6

Season: 90-70-4

Thursday Night Football

Pittsburgh Steelers (-3.5) at Cleveland Browns

Pittsburgh’s defense is on a roll right now. The Browns will not be able to move the ball consistently to keep up with the Steelers.

Pick: Steelers

Sunday Afternoon

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-5.5) at New York Giants

The Giants are starting Tommy DeVito for this game, which could give the team some more hope. Tampa Bay has a lot to play for and are coming off of a bye, which should help them get the win.

Pick: Buccaneers

Detroit Lions (-7.5) at Indianapolis Colts

Quite simply, the Lions are a machine right now. The Colts starting Anthony Richardson could help with his running ability, but he can be turnover prone. Detroit can win and cover on the road.

Pick: Lions

Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans (-7.5)

Five of Tennessee’s games have been losses by seven points or less or are wins. Houston has only won by more than seven points twice this season and they are on a short week. A divisional game could be kept to just a touchdown game.

Pick: Titans

New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins (-7)

Miami seems to be getting back on track after winning their last two games by at least eight points. The Patriots look better with Drake Maye at quarterback, but are still limited around him.

Pick: Dolphins

Dallas Cowboys at Washington Commanders (-10)

The Cowboys are lost without Dak Prescott at quarterback after getting blown out by the Texans. Washington can protect their homefield and cover the spread.

Pick: Commanders

Minnesota Vikings (-3.5) at Chicago Bears

Chicago did look better with a new offensive coordinator in week 11, but still have some issues. Minnesota has cooled off since the start of the season, but the Brian Flores defense can confuse young quarterbacks.

Pick: Vikngs

Kansas City Chiefs (-10.5) at Carolina Panthers

The Chiefs have won just one game by more than 10 points this season. Carolina is coming off of a bye and they have been playing better the last few weeks.

Pick: Panthers

Sunday Evening

Denver Broncos (-4.5) at Las Vegas Raiders

Denver’s defense has been playing well this season. Their offense should be able to do enough to cover the spread on the road as long as Bo Nix protects the ball, which he has been doing a decent job of lately.

Pick: Broncos

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (-1.5)

Seattle notched a big win over San Francisco last week and will look to keep the momentum going. Arizona could have a tough time playing in a loud environment in Seattle.

Pick: Seahawks

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers (-1.5)

Green Bay has had their issues with San Francisco over the years. Jordan Love hasn’t been playing inspiring football lately, so the 49ers can take advantage and get the road win.

Pick: 49ers

Sunday Night Football

Philadelphia Eagles (-3) at Los Angeles Rams

Philadelphia has won six straight games and look good doing it. If they keep the ball on the ground with Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts, the Eagles can beat the Rams, who have just one win over a team above .500 this season.

Pick: Eagles

Monday Night Football

Baltimore Ravens (-3) at Los Angeles Chargers

The battle of the Harbaughs is this week. Jim has the Chargers playing good defense and quarterback Justin Herbert is playing well. Baltimore will be on the road and coming off a physical game against the Steelers.

Pick: Chargers
