NFL Week 12 odds picks Cowboys thrash Giants on Thanksgiving Steelers edge out Colts on Monday night
And just like that, it's Thanksgiving. We're nearly two-thirds of the way through the 2022 regular season and we can now treat ourselves to a little bit of turkey and stuffing to celebrate. We also have a great trio of games on Thanksgiving Day to sink our teeth into once
Rawle Alkins Jersey the tryptophan kicks in and we submerge into our couches.Of course, a few of those Thanksgiving games have made their way into my five locks of the week for Week 12 along with a few other games on deck later on this weekend, which include a "Monday Night Football" matchup and a team we're backing that is laying double digits at home.Regular seasonLocks of the Week ATS: 25-26-4ATS:72-86-6ML:97-67 This has the makings of a Cowboys rout, almost in identical fashion to Dallas' 40-3 win over Minnesota just a few days ago. New York showed some cracks in its foundation in the lo s to Detroit and lost several key contributors, including top cornerback . That should allow the Cowboys offense to continue to hum, but it's their defense that could really put the game away. The Giants are allowing the second-highest pre sure rate (45%) in the NFL this season, while the Cowboys are applying the most pre sure to opposing quarterbacks in the league. In Week 3, Dallas pre sured 27 times in the win, which is the third-most of any game this season. With the Giants as banged up as they are and Dallas playing at a championship-caliber level, they'll win this by double digits.Projected score:Cowboys 30, Giants 20The pick:Cowboys -9.5 The Texans could very well make a change at quarterback before or during this game, but the view of this matchup largely stays the same. Miami is coming off its Week 11 bye and is currently the No. 2 seed in the AFC and are still undefeated (7-0) when plays an entire game. Hard Rock Stadium has also been kind to the Dolphins as of late as they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Dolphins have already shown us that they can pile up points, scoring 30 or more in the three games leading into the bye and
Brandon Ingram Jersey there's no reason to think they won't get there again as they face a Texans defense that ranks 29th in DVOA. Meanwhile, Houston's offense hasn't exceeded 20 points since Week 7. Projected score:Dolphins 33, Texans 17The pick:Dolphins -13 Yes, I'm stubborn. I've faded the Colts the last two weeks in my locks and Jeff Saturday has burned me both times. Well, I'm going back to the well again which may be cause to call me clinically insane, but the Steelers are the club to back in this spot. Pittsburgh should be able
Ike Anigbogu Jersey to apply pre sure on as Indy's O-line did show a few cracks, allowing pre sure on 11.1% of Ryan's dropbacks on Sunday against Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the Steelers blitz as much as any team in the league entering Week 12, which means should feast with this favorable matchup. On top of that, Pittsburgh's run-defense ranks top 10 in the NFL in DVOA, which suggests the unit has the capability of slowing down .Projected score:Steelers 23, Colts 21The pick:Steelers +2.5 The Lions have been rolling the past few weeks, but I just have a hard time betting against with this line under double figures. Yes, Detroit's defense has played better in its previous three games, but that was against the ,
Kenrich Williams Jersey and Giants. Buffalo's offense is a different animal entirely. Allen has historically played well on Thanksgiving as the Bills are 2-0 SU in both games and the QB registered a 100+ pa ser rating in each contest. While I believe Buffalo's offense can get into the 30s indoors at Ford Field, I don't see the Lions doing that in this setting. Specifically, I have my doubts because of the protection in front of . Detroit grades as the 24th-ranked pa s-blocking team in the NFL this season, according to Pro Football Focus. Meanwhile, Buffalo is the third-best pa s rush team in the league under the same grading system.Projected score:Bills 33, Lions 21The pick:Bills -9.5 Tampa Bay did seem to turn a corner just before the bye. After rallying to beat the in Week 9 and then edging out the -- who were a 2.5-point favorite -- in Germany, it does feel like the Bucs are on the verge of fully righting the ship. They ran the ball well in Week 10 (161 yards on 44 attempts) and looked sharp with his complement of receivers healthy. Meanwhile, they get a Browns team that may be in for a letdown after giving the Bills a run for their money on Sunday and are on the doorstep of getting back next week. Since Kevin Stefanski arrived in Cleveland, the club is 17-26 ATS, which is the second worst ATS mark in the NFL over that span.
