Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday at 11:55 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Chargers 21, Broncos 10

Moneyline (?)

The CHARGERS (-162) are an easy choice as they go up against the struggling Allen. Both teams have lost two in a row coming into Week 13 and they’re both 2-3 in their respective location split. It will be a defensive battle with two mistake-prone offenses, but back the road team over the Broncos (+135).

Against the Spread (?)

The wiser play is with the CHARGERS (-2.5) to cover at -121. The Chargers are just 3-6-2 against the spread overall and fail to cover by an average of 1.3 points per game. The Broncos are 6-5 ATS and fail to cover by 0.7 points per game.

Over/Under (?)

Take the UNDER 38.5 (-110). It’s a low projection but the Broncos are 4-7 against the Over/Under and the Chargers are just 3-8. Both teams fall an average of six points shy of the projected total. The Week 5 meeting also fell well short of this week’s number.

Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Miami Dolphins (2-8) battle the Cleveland Browns (4-6) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday, as the Browns look for a season-high three-game winning streak. We analyze the Dolphins-Browns sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks and tips for the Week 12 matchup.

Dolphins at Browns: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes


Get some action on this game or others by placing a bet at BetMGM.


  • The Browns started out 0-3 straight up and against the spread as a favorite, but they’re 2-0 SU/1-0-1 ATS in the past two while favored, both at home.
  • The Dolphins went 0-3 ATS in their first three games as double-digit underdogs, but they’re 3-0 ATS in their past three as a dog of 10 or more points.
  • The Under is 3-1 in the past four road games for Miami, scoring 14.3 points per game in four outings away from home.
  • Cleveland is 2-1 SU/1-1-1 ATS in three games vs. AFC East teams with the Under cashing in each of those outings.
  • The Browns rank 16th in total yards allowed (344.0) and sixth in passing yards (216.8) yielded.
  • The Dolphins are 31st with 30.5 PPG allowed.

Dolphins at Browns: Key injuries

Dolphins: CB Ken Webster (ankle) is considered doubtful, while DE Taco Charlton (elbow) is listed as questionable.

Browns: S Eric Murray (knee) and DE Olivier Vernon (knee) are listed as out, while LB Joe Schobert (groin) is questionable. Of course, DE Myles Garrett and DT Larry Ogunjobi are suspended, too.

Dolphins at Browns: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 9:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Browns 23, Dolphins 17

Moneyline (?)

The Browns (-556) are overwhelming favorites, but they’re not worth the risk with such a small return on investment. If anything, the Dolphins (+400) would be worth the small-unit play, as you could quadruple your investment if they pull the upset.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $1.80 profit with a Cleveland victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The DOLPHINS (+10.5, -110) have covered three in a row as double-digit underdogs. The Browns (-10.5, -110) have struggled in the role as a favorite, and their offense just hasn’t been hitting on all cylinders. As such, they cannot be trusted, even against a struggling team like the Dolphins.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 44.5 (-110) is worth a look as neither of the offenses in this game have been particularly consistent. The Under is 9-4 in the past 13 road games for Miami, and 7-3 in the past 10 against losing teams. The Under is 6-2-1 in Cleveland’s past nine against losing teams, and 18-7-1 in its past 26 at home.

Oakland Raiders at New York Jets odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Oakland Raiders at New York Jets sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Oakland Raiders (6-4) square off with the New York Jets (3-7) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. We analyze the Raiders-Jets sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks and tips for the Week 12 matchup.

Raiders at Jets: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes


Get some action on this game or others by placing a bet at BetMGM.


  • The Raiders rank 11th in total yards (371.7) per game on offense. They’re 14th in passing yards (343.5) and ninth in rushing yards (128.2) per game.
  • Oakland’s passing defense ranks 28th in the NFL, yielding 264.1 yards per game.
  • New York Jets QB Sam Darnold threw for a career-high four touchdown passes last week in a win at the Washington Redskins.
  • The Raiders have scored 23.3 points per game in four games on the road this season, hitting the Over in three of those outings.
  • This is Oakland’s first appearance in the Eastern Time Zone this season.
  • The Jets have posted 34 points in each of the past two games, and the Over is 4-0 in the past four games for New York.

Raiders at Jets: Key injuries

Raiders DB Lamarcus Joyner (hamstring) is considered questionable while OT David Sharpe (calf) has been ruled out.

Jets: LB C.J. Mosley (groin) has been ruled out. S Matthias Farley (quadriceps), CB Darryl Roberts (calf) and LB Paul Worrilow (quadriceps) are considered doubtful. WR Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is the only skill-position player listed as questionable.

Raiders at Jets: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 10:05 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Raiders 31, Jets 27

Moneyline (?)

The RAIDERS (-167) hit the road, and they’ll be able to hold off the Jets in this one. They just have more horses on offense. The Jets (+140) are at home, and their offense has come alive, but their defense continues to struggle.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $6.00 profit with an Oakland victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The RAIDERS (-2.5, -110) are 2-0 straight up/1-1 against the spread in two games as a favorite this season. The Jets (+2.5, -110) have covered their past two as underdogs, winning both games straight up. They’re 2-3 SU/ATS in five games at home, however, and the Raiders pass offense will be too much for the Jets in this one.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 46.5 (-110) is worth a moderate bet, as neither of these pass defenses are particularly strong, and the two passing offenses have been able to have their way lately. This number seems rather low, all things considered.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals Week 12 matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets

The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-5) visit the winless Cincinnati Bengals (0-10) Saturday for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Paul Brown Stadium. We analyze the Steelers-Bengals odds and sports betting lines, while providing betting tips and advice on this Week 12 NFL matchup.

Steelers at Bengals: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes


Get some action on the game at BetMGM by placing a sports bet!


  • The Steelers will have more than a week off after having a five-game winning streak snapped in a 21-7 loss at the Cleveland Browns in Week 11’s Thursday night game – the Steelers were 3-point underdogs.
  • The Bengals lost – but covered as 13-point dogs – at the Oakland Raiders 17-10 Sunday
  • The Steelers are 1-3 on the road and 6-4 against the spread (ATS) overall.
  • The Bengals are 0-4 at home and 4-6 ATS.
  • Both teams are 3-7 against the Over/Under this season.
  • The Steelers won the first head-to-head meeting of the season 27-3 at home Sept. 30.
  • Steelers QB Mason Rudolph has thrown for 1,551 yards with 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions, completing 62.3% of his passes.
  • In his two starts, Finley has thrown for 282 yards with one TD and two picks, while completing 47.5% of his passes.
  • The Steelers defense is 13th in points allowed (20.2 PPG), while the Bengals are 28th (27.6 PPG).

Steelers at Bengals: Key injuries

Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) is doubtful, while RB James Conner (shoulder) and WR Diontae Johnson (concussion) are questionable.

Bengals WRs A.J. Green (ankle) and Auden Tate (concussion) are questionable.

Steelers at Bengals: Odds, betting lines and prediction

NFL odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Thursday at 5:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Steelers 24, Bengals 10

Moneyline (ML)

The Bengals (+225) may win eventually, but it won’t be against the STEELERS (-286), who have won nine straight in this AFC North rivalry. The -286 price is expensive, but if you’re willing – every $2.86 wagered will profit $1 if Pittsburgh wins – go for it.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The STEELERS (-6.5, -110) are worth a small play. As mentioned, they’ve had a few extra days off and should be fired up after the Browns loss. The Bengals might be playing for pride, but they’re 0-4 ATS at home and with the way their season is going, the home fans likely won’t show up in force.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 38.5 (+100) is the STRONGEST PLAY. Both teams struggle to score, ranking in the bottom third of the NFL. The Steelers are 24th, averaging 22.0 points per game, while the Bengals are 30th at 14.7 PPG. The past two head-to-head meetings totaled 30 and 29 points, respectively, and the last eight matchups are 2-6 O/U.

Plus, the Under is 7-1 in the Steelers’ last eight games after a loss, and the Under is 8-1-2 in the Bengals’ last 11 games inside the AFC.

New to sports betting? The +100 is an even bet. Every $1 wagered profits $1 if the two teams combine for 38 or fewer points.

Previewing Sunday’s New York Giants at Chicago Bears Week 12 betting odds and lines, with NFL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The New York Giants (2-8) visit the Chicago Bears (4-6) Sunday at Soldier Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Giants-Bears odds and sports betting lines, while providing sports betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Giants at Bears: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes


Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.


  • The Giants have lost six straight games. Each of those losses (and their first two of the season) were by six or more points.
  • The Bears are coming off of their second-biggest loss of the season, dropping their Sunday Night Football matchup with the Los Angeles Rams 17-7 on the road.
  • Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky has been held below 200 passing yards in three straight games. Only seven teams allow more passing yards per game than the Giants’ 259.0.
  • Chicago ranks fourth in the NFL with 17.4 points allowed per game. It’s fifth-last with 16.9 points scored per outing.
  • New York’s 28.9 points allowed per game ranks 30th. It’s 27th in average total yards allowed.
  • The Giants are 2-18 when committing two or more turnovers in a game since the start of the 2017 season. The Bears have forced 14 turnovers this year.

Giants at Bears: Key injuries

Giants WR Sterling Shepard (concussion) is expected to return. TE Evan Engram (foot) is questionable.

Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky (hip) could be forced to sit after suffering a hip pointer. Chase Daniel could draw the start.

Giants at Bears: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 7:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Bears 20, Giants 13

Moneyline (?)

The Bears are 2-3 at home while the Giants are 1-4 on the road. Chicago has the defense to stifle New York and Trubisky (or Daniel) will receive a boost against the Giants’ woeful pass defense.

The Bears are my pick to win this game outright, but there’s no way they should be worth the -278 odds in any matchup. The Giants still aren’t worth much thought at +220 on the road.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Bears to win outright returns a profit of just $3.60. This is termed a chalky play and isn’t worth the risk.

Against the Spread (?)

Both teams are 3-7 against the spread. The Bears fall an average of 2.5 points shy of the cover, with the Giants falling 4.8 points short. Chicago is 2-3 ATS at home and New York is 2-3 on the road.

The BEARS (-6.5, –110) will pull this out at home, winning by seven or more points in a strong defensive effort, thanks to mistakes from the Giants offense.

Over/Under (?)

The best play with this game is the UNDER 40.5 (-115). Neither team is capable of handling the bulk of the scoring if the other is shut down. It’s unlikely we get a mutual effort.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons Week 12 betting lines and odds, with NFL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Atlanta Falcons (3-7) welcome the NFC South-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-7) to Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sunday for a 1 p.m. kickoff. We analyze the Buccaneers-Falcons odds and sports betting lines, while providing sports betting tips and advice on this matchup.

Buccaneers at Falcons: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes


Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.


  • The Falcons have won the last five head-to-head meetings dating back to November 2016. Atlanta scored 34 points in each of last year’s two meetings.
  • The Buccaneers rank sixth in the NFL with 27.7 points per game. The Falcons score 22.0 PPG, ranking 30th in the league with just 74.5 team rushing yards per outing.
  • The Bucs haven’t allowed a rushing touchdown since Week 8.
  • Tampa Bay QB Jameis Winston threw four interceptions last week in a 34-17 home loss to the rival New Orleans Saints. It was his third time this season being picked off at least three times in a game.
  • The Falcons allow 26.2 points per game to the Bucs’ league-worst 31.3 points allowed.
  • Atlanta has totaled 11 sacks over two consecutive wins after compiling just seven over its first eight games.
  • The Bucs have the fourth-worst turnover differential in the league at minus-10. The Falcons are minus-eight.

Buccaneers at Falcons: Key injuries

Buccaneers DL William Gholston (ankle) was spotted Monday in a walking boot.

Falcons TE Austin Hooper (knee) and RB Devonta Freeman (foot) remain week-to-week.

Buccaneers at Falcons: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 6 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Falcons 35, Buccaneers 24

Moneyline (?)

The FALCONS (-223) are favored at home despite a 1-3 record. They dominated the division-rival Saints and Carolina Panthers the last two weeks with valiant efforts from the defense. The Bucs are 2-3 on the road, but the new-found Falcons pass rush should wreak havoc on the mistake-prone Winston and lead the way to a third straight win.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Falcons to win outright returns a profit of $4.48 (10 divided by 2.23).

Against the Spread (?)

The more profitable play is on ATLANTA with the points (-4.5, -110). The Falcons will need to win by at least five points, as they easily did each of the last two weeks.

Atlanta is 4-6 against the spread for the year while Tampa Bay is a league-worst 2-8 ATS. The first eight games for the Falcons seem like they can be thrown out and the home side will cover once again.

Over/Under (?)

Take the OVER 51.5 (-106). The Falcons overcame the losses of Freeman and Hooper last week to put up 29 points on the road in Carolina. Mistakes from Winston and quality field position will lead to even more scoring as they return home.

The Buccaneers are a league-best 8-2 against the Over/Under while topping the projection by an average of 10.2 points per game.

Prediction

Bills 21, Dolphins 17

Moneyline (?)

The Bills (-295) should be able to ease by the Dolphins in South Florida, but a few things concern me about this game. One, the Bills will be playing in the heat and humidity of Miami, although it won’t be blazing hot. And, the Dolphins (+240) suddenly have a belief in themselves after two straight wins against the Jets and Colts.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Bills to win outright returns a $3.40 profit.

Against the Spread (?)

The DOLPHINS (+6.5, -110) were the laughingstock of the league earlier this season, getting their doors blown off in two straight games to open the season. However, they’re 5-0 ATS across the past five and look like an NFL-caliber team again with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick under center. The Bills (-6.5, -110) are a risky play on the road against a team which covered against them in Buffalo in October.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 40.5 (-106) is the way to go, although I’d go super light on this one. Miami’s defense is still not a juggernaut, and the Bills are much stronger running the football than slinging it around. As such, running teams equal under results.
