In week 12 of the NFL, fans and experts from around the world are treated to a Sunday full of football. There is one game scheduled for Thursday Night Football, a whopping 11 games for Sunday, and one game on Monday evening. While there are some leagues that have dominant leaders, like the NFC North and the AFC West, others, such as the NFC West are more closely contested, which can add to the drama in certain games.
On this page, we will be discussing our NFL picks for week 12, offering football betting tips on the Cleveland Browns vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Indianapolis Colts vs the Detroit Lions, the New York Giants vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Las Vegas Raiders vs the Denver Broncos, and the Los Angeles Chargers vs the Baltimore Ravens!
Game 1: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns
- Date: Thursday 21st November 2024
- Time: 8:15 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Same Game Parlay: Pittsburgh Steelers to win and Match over 36.5 total points
For the Cleveland Browns vs the Pittsburgh Steelers, we have curated a range of Same Game Parlays at BetVictor. The Steelers to win with a match total of over 36.5 stands out from the crowd, with the team from Pittsburgh being in fine form, winning 8 of their 10 games this season so far.
The Cleveland Browns have an opposite record, losing 8 games, with the team currently sitting on a loss streak of 2 games. In terms of scoring, the Steelers have put an average of 23.3 points on the board per game, while the Browns’ defense has conceded almost 25 points per match on average. We can see this game being rather one-sided in favor of the Steelers, who should have no trouble putting plenty of points on the board to cover the over 36.5.
Game 2: Detroit Lions @ Indianapolis Colts
- Date: Sunday 24th November 2024
- Time: 1:00 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Detroit Lions -7.5
What a time the Lions had last week when they faced up against the Jaguars, stomping them in a 52-6 blowout in which the team from Detroit could seemingly do whatever they pleased. The Colts, however, should present slightly tougher opposition, as they’re also coming off an entertaining 28-27 victory against the New York Jets, with quarterback Anthony Richardson having an unbelievably strong game.
It’s worth mentioning that Sam LaPorta is touch and go for the Detroit Lions. However, the star-studded team should have no issues overcoming the Colts, regardless. Put simply, we’re backing the Lions to continue their winning streak to 9 in convincing fashion, covering the -7.5 handicap in a head-to-head that we haven’t seen since preseason in 2022.
Game 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New York Giants
- Date: Sunday 24th November 2024
- Time: 1:00 pm EDT
- Our Pick: New York Giants +4.5
The third game of focus for our picks this week revolves around the New York Giants vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. One of the biggest storylines from this encounter will be that the Giants are benching quarterback Daniel Jones, who was initially touted as the next superstar player for New York, in an attempt to turn their season around.
On the other end of things, Mike Evans will be returning for the Bucs, while quarterback Baker Mayfield has also had a sturdy season thus far. This could be a game that is much tighter than many anticipate, making it one to keep an eye on. We think the Giants cover the +4.5 spread, as the team from New York is simply desperate to register a win.
Game 4: Denver Broncos @ Las Vegas Raiders
- Date: Sunday 24th November 2024
- Time: 4:05 pm EDT
- Our Pick: Denver Broncos -5.5
The Denver Broncos had their way with the Atlanta Falcons in week 11, to the surprise of many fans and experts alike. Bo Nix has continued to improve for the Broncos, with Sean Payton utilizing his strengths well across the field. As for the Raiders, they’re in a huge rut, currently sitting on a six-loss streak and to make things worse, none of these defeats were closely contested.
We were a bit surprised by the odds for this game when they were released. However, it’s likely that this is due to the Las Vegas Raiders playing significantly better at home, even if this hasn’t been reflected in their record this season so far.
The Broncos are the superior team in this one and if their defense continues to hold up strong, the Raiders should really struggle to put anything together. We’ve backed them to cover the -5.5 line.
Game 5: Baltimore Ravens @ Los Angeles Chargers
- Date: Monday 25th November 2024
- Time: 8:15 pm
- Our Pick: Baltimore Ravens -2.5
Last but not least, we take a look at a Monday Night Football fixture that sees the Baltimore Ravens travel to Los Angeles. The last outing for the Ravens saw them fall to the Pittsburgh Steelers in a tight 18-16 competition, while the Chargers currently sit on a winning streak of four after defeating the Bengals, the Titans, the Browns, and the Saints.
All eyes will be on Lamar Jackson for this one, as he looks to bounce back against the Chargers. If he’s firing on all cylinders, the Ravens should have no problem finding their form once again and making a push for the top of the AFC North. We see them covering the -2.5 handicap in a game that could certainly be end-to-end!
