After a few Thanksgiving thrillers along with a big weekend of college football, fans should be primed and ready for another exciting Sunday in the NFL. Below, we look at the NFL Week 12 player prop bets odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
Fans were treated to three Thanksgiving Thursday games. They first saw the Chicago Bears edge the Detroit Lions 16-14 at Ford Field. The Lions covered and the Under hit in that game.
The second game was an overtime thriller between the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders won 36-33 and covered as 7-point underdogs as the Over hit. The third game was a dominating showing from the Buffalo Bills over the helpless New Orleans Saints. The Bills easily covered in a 31-6 victory and the Under hit.
Let’s dive into a few props that one must consider for the full Week 12 Sunday slate.
Week 12 prop bets picks
Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10 a.m. ET.
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger OVER 254.5 passing yards (-114)
Bengals rank 24th in the NFL with 255 yards allowed per game through the air. They’re still down their second-best cornerback in Trae Waynes, so things won’t be made easier for the home side.
The Bengals had Roethlisberger’s number when they traveled to Heinz Field in a 24-10 victory for Cincinnati in Week 3. However, the Bengals haven’t completed a regular-season sweep of Pittsburgh since 2009.
Big Ben has hit this number in two of his past three games. The Steelers’ offense is starting to click, and the Bengals should be more fearful of RB Najee Harris than they were in the previous meeting, which should help the Over.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa UNDER 225.5 passing yards (-115)
The Miami Dolphins are taking on the Carolina Panthers this week. The Panthers allow the fewest passing yards per game to opponents (174.2).
With Stephon Gilmore as one of their top cornerbacks and a lethal safety duo, the Panthers have thrived defensively this season. Tua hasn’t been great since returning, and he continues to be without star WR DeVante Parker.
Tua has topped the number in two of his five starts this season, but combine the Panthers’ stout defense, his recent return and lack of dynamic weapons, and the Under is the better play.

Broncos RB Javonte Williams OVER 53.5 rushing yards (-114)
This is probably my favorite prop of the three.
The Chargers run defense is absolutely pitiful, allowing 145.1 rushing yards per game, easily the most in the NFL. With Javonte Williams the future of the Broncos backfield, they need to start getting him more involved.
He’s averaging 5.0 yards per carry and he’s hit this number three times and has received double-digit carries just five times. This should be a good time for Williams, who is one of the league leaders in broken tackles, to showcase his talent.
