NFL Week 12 Picks Against the Spread, Predictions & NFL Best Bets

⭐ Baltimore Ravens -4 (-110) at BetMGM

The Ravens have emerged as serious contenders for the Super Bowl. 

Their roster, led by the dynamic quarterback Lamar Jackson and backed by a strong defense, makes them one of the most balanced teams in the league. 

After their impressive 34-20 win over Cincinnati on Thursday, Baltimore's record stands at 8-3.

Next, they face the Chargers, who are struggling at 4-6, having lost four of their last six games. The Chargers also potentially lost Joey Bosa to injury in Week 11. 

The Ravens, coming off a longer break after playing on Thursday Night Football, are well-positioned for this matchup. It's likely they could secure a victory with a margin of at least a touchdown.

⭐ ATS Pick: Baltimore Ravens -4 (-110) at BetMGM

⭐ Philadelphia Eagles -3.5 (-105) at FanDuel

The Buffalo Bills have a favorable matchup against a team with weak pass coverage, thanks to their strategy of utilizing receivers across the field. 

With newcomers Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid, alongside the established Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, the Bills' passing game looks robust. 

However, the Philadelphia Eagles pose a significant challenge with their ability to apply pressure at crucial moments. Sean McDermott, the Bills' coach, who previously worked with the Eagles, is familiar with their tactics. 

This could lead to a game dominated by strategic zone defenses, potentially lowering the scoreline. 

Given the circumstances and their home-field advantage, Philadelphia is in a strong position to secure a hard-fought, physically demanding victory.

⭐ ATS Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -3.5 (-105) at FanDuel

⭐ Pittsburgh Steeelers -1.5 (-105) at Draftkings

With Kenny Pickett as their quarterback, the Pittsburgh Steelers are better positioned than the Joe Burrow-less Cincinnati Bengals. 

However, this edge wasn't enough in their last game against the Browns, who were missing Deshaun Watson. 

The next game, though, offers Pittsburgh an excellent chance to capitalize on their running game and take advantage of the injuries affecting their opponents. 

The Steelers are expected to lean on a potent running offense and strategic middle-field passes. 

For Cincinnati, Jake Browning will be up against a significant challenge in his first encounter with T.J. Watt and the Steelers' aggressive defensive line. 

This setup could help the Steelers not only recover from their previous setback but also exacerbate the Bengals' challenging season.

⭐ ATS Pick: Pittsburgh Steeelers -1.5 (-105) at Draftkings

Rookie QB C.J. Stroud of the Texans is currently the center of attention in the league, and deservedly so.

Chosen second overall in this year's draft, Stroud has quickly become something of a superstar following consecutive comeback wins against the Buccaneers and Bengals.

The Texans, now back on their home turf, are facing the Cardinals, whose defense ranks fifth-worst in points allowed per game (26.3) and rushing yards per game (134.2).

Even though Cardinals' QB Kyler Murray recently steered his team to their first win in seven weeks, they are likely to face a challenging game on the road against a dynamic Texans team led by Stroud.

I predict Houston will secure this game with a victory margin of at least a touchdown.
