With Jamaal Charles playing at an extremely high level and the KC defense looking formidable to say the least this looks like just another Thursday night blowout to me.<\/p>\n<h3>Sunday, November 23<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Browns at Falcons<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Browns +3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Falcons are coming off a win against Carolina but this team looked anything but special in that win. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63753&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Browns lost their Week 11 matchup to Houston. Atlanta\u2019s strength plays right into the hands of Cleveland\u2019s defense \u2013 the Falcons figures to have a tough time throwing and they can\u2019t run the ball either. I like the Browns to bounce back against an unflattering Atlanta team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Titans at Eagles<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: lines not available yet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Titans looked good Monday night \u2013 more than held their own. But Sunday they run into a motivated Eagles team that is 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS at home this year. If the line moves to double digits, I like the Titans but anything under 10 you have to like the quick-strike Eagles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lions at Patriots<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Patriots -6 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Pats have been scoring at will as of late \u2013 136 points in their last three games while the Lions have not exactly been lighting up the scoreboard at all \u2013 15 points per game on the road this year. It is hard to fathom Detroit being able to score nearly enough to cover in this one. Take the Pats to score early and often despite Detroit\u2019s insane defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Packers at Vikings<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Packers \u2013 9 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like the Pats, the Packers have been scoring at an insane pace as of late. Green Bay has put up 108 points in their last two games! There is no way the Vikings below average offense scores enough on the road to keep this one close.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jaguars at Colts\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Colts -14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Jags are just 2-7-1 ATS this season \u2013 not good. Look for the Colts to be an angry bunch in this one and despite getting humbled on Sunday night they should pile on the points against the lowly Jags. Indy has already blown the Jags out this season \u2013 expect more of the same Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bengals at Texans<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Bengals +2 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cincinnati finally put it all together against New Orleans in Week 11. Look for the confidence to carry over Sunday as the Bengals win a close game and cover against a decent Houston team. Simply put this is a huge game for Cincinnati \u2013 not so much for Houston.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jets at Bills<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Bills -4 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Jets are a mess but may not have to face Sammy Watkins in this one. Still, Buffalo, at home is the better team here. I have no faith in the Jets \u2013 do you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bucs at Bears<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Bears -6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lovie Smith returns to Chicago this week for a Tampa team that has covered in four straight road games. But the Bears finally go back to what they do best in Week 11 \u2013 throw the ball up to their huge receivers and let them do the rest. Tampa is still one of the worst teams in the NFL while the underachieving Bears have jobs to play for. The Bears will know exactly what Josh McCown is capable of and should be able to shut him down enough here. Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffrey and Brandon Marshall dominate in this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cardinals at Seahawks<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Cardinals +6 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seattle has failed to cover in five of their last six games while the Cards have covered in five straight. It is hard to believe that the team with the league\u2019s best record is such a huge underdog in this one. This game will be close \u2013 take Arizona to cover the 6 1\/2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rams at Chargers<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Rams +5 1\/2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Rams made Peyton Manning look ordinary in Week 11 \u2013 their defense is that good while the Chargers offense had a hard time generating anything against Oakland\u2019s brutal defense. Rivers reportedly has a rib issue \u2013 he is in for a long day against St. Louis\u2019s good pass rush.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dolphins at Broncos<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Dolphins -7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Broncos will look for a strong bounce back after a shocking Week 11 loss but it won\u2019t be easy against Miami\u2019s #1 ranked pass defense. Adding to Denver\u2019s woes is the availability questions of Julius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Look for the Fins pass rush to duplicate the feat of the Rams and to keep this game close at very least.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redskins at 49ers<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Redskins +8<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>San Francisco only scored 16 points against the Giants putrid defense \u2013 something seems to be missing for the 49ers. Of San Fran\u2019s six wins this year only two have come by more than seven points. Washington isn\u2019t great but their defensive strength is against the run. San Francisco wins but the Redskins keep this game closer than most would think!<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cowboys at Giants<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Cowboys -3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The G-Men have lost five straight games and have won just one win in their last five against the Cowboys. Dallas should be healthy after their bye and their #2 ranked run defense should be able to demolish the league\u2019s worst run defense in this one. Dallas needs this game \u2013 they play the Eagles on Thanksgiving. Look for them to come out firing in what could be the blowout of the weekend.<\/p>\n<h3>Monday, November 24<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ravens at Saints<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> Week 12 Point Spread: Ravens +4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Saints home invincibility is a thing of the past \u2013 New Orleans has lost two straight at the Superdome. They welcome a pretty well rounded Ravens team off their by this week. Despite Baltimore\u2019s struggles on the road this season the Saints have failed to cover in three of their last four games at home. The New Orleans free-fall continues as the best team in the AFC North the Ravens deal New Orleans yet another blow.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our Updated NFL <a title=\"NFL Week 12 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nfl.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">*Week 12 Point Spreads<\/a>*.<\/h3>\n<p>CHECK BACK HERE SOON.
