NFL 2018 Week 12 Predictions

Week 12 Predictions

Bears -3 over Lions, 24-13

-Lions are going to turn it all off soon. Johnson being injured hurts, and the lack of talent on offense is starting to show up for Detroit. Bears take care of business on a short week.

Cowboys -7.5 over the Team of Many Broken Legs, 26-10

-Just too many injuries. Really looks like the Cowboys are going to win this division. I am so excited to bet against them in the playoffs. Good luck McCoy.

Saints -13 over Falcons, 39-24

-I mean, how can you bet against this team at this point? Many points, but a blowout likely that also will functionally end the Falcons’ season. 

Raiders +10.5 over Ravens, 14-23

-Just too many points for a low scoring team with a rookie QB. Ravens win, but Carr pulls the cover.

Jags -3 over Bills, 20-3

-Normally I don’t bet on teams with traumatic losses like the Jags had at the Steelers. But, they get the Bills. Good enough.

Seahawks +3.5 over Panthers, 20-23

-Panthers have been far too inconsistent to drop that extra half point.

Bengals -3 over Browns, 27-19

-Might be a quietly good game. AJ Green’s return and the Bengals need to stay alive in the playoff race tip this game, though I won’t be surprised at a cover.

Pats -9.5 over Jets, 27-10

-Pats are going to quietly cruise out the remainder of their schedule. Jets are going to list through theirs.

Eagles -6 over Giants, 25-13

-Makes me nervous to lay 6 with the Eagles, but the Giants are done and this is the last gasp for the Eagles.

49ers +3.5 over Bucs, 27-24

-Giving up that half point is not appetizing to me. They are a professional run team. That is only occasionally true for the Bucs.

Chargers -12 over Cards, 24-10

-The Chargers retribution for the Broncos game will be swift.

Colts -9 over Fins, 31-20

-Colts making a little run? Colts making a little run. Fins are certainly not what you would call a good team, so 9 seems about right.

Steelers -3 over Broncos, 26-20

-Steelers confuse me. Broncos getting that win makes this tighter. But overall the talent disparity and playoff situations make this an easy call for the Steelers.

Pack +3.5 over Vikings, 24-23

-Rodgers getting 3.5 is automatic for me.

Texans -4.5 over Titans, 30-17

-I haven’t seen a solid line, so I’m to guess this is what it will be. Texans are going to roll this division. This is the last gasp for the Titans to try though.
