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.

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.

Detroit Lions at Washington Redskins odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Week 12 matchup between the Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins, with NFL betting odds, picks, tips and best bets.

The Detroit Lions (3-6-1) face the Washington Redskins (1-9) Sunday at FedEx Field at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Lions-Redskins odds and betting lines while providing betting tips and advice around this Week 12 NFL matchup.

Lions at Redskins: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes

Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM.

  • The New York Jets routed the Redskins 34-17 last week. It was 34-3 before Washington added two late touchdowns.
  • The last meeting between the two teams was a 20-17 Lions win in 2016.
  • Both teams have bad home/road splits. The Lions are 1-3-1 on the road, while the Redskins are 0-5 at home.
  • The Redskins rank 31st in offensive yards per game (255.7 YPG) and average just 12.5 points per contest.
  • The Lions are still without QB Matt Stafford who has multiple fractures in his upper back and neck area.
  • Detroit is favored for the third time all season.

Lions at Redskins: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 11:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Lions 20, Redskins 17

Moneyline (?)

The LIONS (-175) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Redskins (+145).

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Lions to win returns a profit of $5.70 with a victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Taking the LIONS to win and cover the 3.5 points is the play. The -105 number is far better value here than the moneyline. They’ll need to win by at least four points.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 42.5 (-133) is the bet here. The Redskins averaging just 12 points per game makes this a reasonable wager.

Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Week 12 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles with NFL betting odds and lines, picks and tips.

The Seattle Seahawks (8-2) face the Philadelphia Eagles (5-5) Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field at 1 p.m. ET. We analyze the Seahawks-Eagless odds and betting lines while providing betting tips and advice around this Week 12 NFL matchup.

Seahawks at Eagles: Week 12 preview, betting trends and notes

Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM.

  • The Eagles dropped to 5-5 after losing to the New England Patriots.
  • The Seahawks were on a bye last week after beating the previously-undefeated San Francisco 49ers the week before.
  • The last meeting between the two teams was a 24-10 Seahawks win in 2017.
  • Seattle has been surprisingly better on the road than at home with a 5-0 record. Philadelphia is just 3-2 at home.
  • The Philadelphia defense ranks fourth against the run allowing just 86 yards per contest.
  • The Seahawks rank 4th in offensive yards per game (389.1 YPG) and average 27.5 points per contest.
  • Philadelphia ranks just 23rd in total offense at 337.8 yards per contest.
  • The Seahawks allow the eighth-most yards per game defensively and allow 25.4 points per game.
  • The Eagles are ninth overall defensively and yield 323.5 yards per tilt. This includes just 23 points allowed per game.
  • The Seahawks have a turnover margin of plus-six, while the Eagles are minus-two.

Seahawks at Eagles: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 11:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Seahawks 24, Eagles 20

Moneyline (?)

The SEAHAWKS (+100) remain a solid play because of the small price and value vs. the Eagles (-121). The Eagles lacked any kind of downfield punch last week and it did not help that their receivers dropped at least three or passes on routes of 15-plus yards.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Seahawks to win returns a profit of $10 with a victory.

Against the Spread (?)

Back the SEAHAWKS against the spread as well at (+1.5, -110). Seattle is rested and should win this game outright. They’ll need to lose by a single point or win straight up in order to cover. The moneyline is the more profitable play.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 48.5 (-115) is the bet here. The Eagles’ offense seems to be decreasing by the week and Seattle’s defense looks to be improving. Rest this time of year is rare and for Seattle to have such a late bye is huge. That may be enough to slow down the Eagles’ attack and keep the Under as the play.

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.

New York Giants at Chicago Bears odds, picks and best bets

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.

Chargers at Chiefs: Kansas City favored in Mexico City

Previewing the Kansas City Chiefs vs. L.A. Chargers Week 11 NFL matchup, with NFL betting odds, lines, picks and best bets

[jwplayer JLUmLtYE]

The Los Angeles Chargers (4-6) and Kansas City Chiefs (6-4) hook up for the first time this season, facing off on Monday night at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET.

Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.

  • The Chargers are coming off an extended break, having played on Thursday night in Week 10, a 26-24 loss to the Oakland Raiders.
  • Chargers QB Philip Rivers threw three interceptions in that game. He had five touchdown passes and three interceptions in two games against the Chiefs last season.
  • The Chargers have the eighth-best scoring defense in the league (points per game). The Chiefs are 20th.
  • The Chiefs average more than 28 points per game on offense. The Chargers average fewer than 21.
  • Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes had 446 passing yards and three touchdowns in Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans in his first game back after missing two games with an injury.

Chargers at Chiefs: Key injuries

Mahomes is healthy again and will play. DE Emmanuel Ogbah (pectoral) is out and will probably miss the rest of the season. OT Eric Fisher (groin) should return to the lineup for the first time since Week 2, while OG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (ankle) should be in the lineup for the first time since Week 8.

Chargers RT Sam Tevi (knee) is expected to miss this week and more. LT Russell Okung (groin) is questionable.

Chargers at Chiefs: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 1:45 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Chiefs 38, Chargers 23

Moneyline (?)

With Mahomes healthy and his offensive line returning, the offense should be overwhelming again, making any bet other than the Chiefs seem like a waste of money. At –182, it won’t gain much profit ($5.49 profit on a $10 bet), but taking the Chargers at +150 doesn’t seem to be smart with the money, as the game probably won’t be that close.

Against the Spread (?)

The Chiefs are favored by 4.5 points (+105). The Chiefs are healthy on the offensive line so Mahomes can be dynamic. The Chargers might be without their two starting tackles. L.A. has struggled to score points, so expect a two-score win for the home team. Take the CHIEFS -4.5 (+105).

Over/Under (?)

The total is set at 52.5 points. The Chiefs should put up points. The question is whether the Chargers will do the same. Rivers is savvy enough that if the Chiefs jump out to a big lead, he will rally his team for late points. This game should easily hit the OVER (-115).

Bills-Dolphins odds: Buffalo enters as huge road favorite

Previewing Sunday’s Bills at Dolphins NFL matchup with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets

[jwplayer JLUmLtYE]

The Buffalo Bills (6-3) travel to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., for an AFC East tilt with the Miami Dolphins (2-7). Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. We analyze the Bills-Dolphins sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks and tips for the Week 11 matchup.

Bills-Dolphins: Week 11 preview, betting trends and notes

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

  • The Bills are coming off a loss in Cleveland in Week 10, while the Dolphins surprised the Colts in Indianapolis last week.
  • Buffalo topped Miami 31-21 on Oct. 20 in Western New York, although the Dolphins did cover.
  • The Bills are 5-2-1 against the spread in their last eight against AFC foes, while the Dolphins are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their past four vs. AFC.
  • Buffalo has posted a 4-0-1 ATS in the past five road games, but is 1-6-1 ATS in its past eight on the road against teams with a losing home mark.
  • The Buffalo defense ranks third in total yards allowed (304.2), passing yards allowed (188.7) and points allowed (16.7) per game.
  • The Dolphins rank 31st in scoring (13.2 points per game), but they are averaging 18.7 PPG across the past four.
  • Miami enters on a 5-0 ATS streak, too.

Bills at Dolphins: Key injuries

Bills: DE Jerry Hughes (groin) did not practice Friday and is considered questionable, while TE Dawson Knox (knee) practiced in full Friday and is off the injury report.

Dolphins: DE Taco Charlton (elbow), S Reshad Jones (chest), LB Raekwon McMillan (knee) and DE Avery Moss (ankle) are questionable, while CB Ken Webster (ankle) is out.

Bills at Dolphins: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Sunday at 1 a.m. ET.

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.

Prediction

Saints 34, Buccaneers 26

Moneyline (?)

The Saints (-239) should be able to bounce back on the road in this divisional battle, but risking more than two times your return is not a wise way to go. The Buccaneers (+195) are awful on defense, but so were the Falcons. If there is any way to go, it’s the Bucs rather lightly.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Bucs moneyline returns a $19.50 profit with a Tampa Bay victory.

Against the Spread (?)

The SAINTS (-5.5, -110) should be able to get it done on the road, as long as their offense shows up. Their showing against an awful Atlanta defense was inexplicable, and you can expect them to pick apart the leaky D of the Buccaneers (+5.5, -110).

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 50.5 (-110) is the play whenever the Bucs are involved. The over has cashed in seven straight for the Bucs, and four of the past five at the RayJay. The Under has connected in eight of the past 11 on the road for the Saints, but the over is 9-3 in their past 12 following a straight-up loss.
