2023 NFL Week 12 Best Bets
Packers at Lions
Last weekend was rough for me, so I’m looking to bounce back. I’ve got 3 games to choose from on Thanksgiving, and I love this line. The Packers getting over a TD is a mistake by the oddsmakers. The Lions traditionally struggle on Thanksgiving. The Lions may still win this game, but I don’t believe they will blow out the Packers for the second time this season.
These divisional matchups are usually closer than a TD. I love the points in this one and will be hoping the Packers can keep it close for the first game on Thanksgiving.
Packers +7.5 (-110) 2 Units
Jags at Texans
Another divisional matchup where I’m picking the team that’s lost to succeed in the rematch. The Jags need this game much more than the Texans if they want any shot at the division, so I expect them to come out and play better than they did the first time these teams matched up.
I’ll take the Jags to win this game by about a FG on the road in an exciting back-and-forth game between young QBs Stroud and Lawrence.
Jags ML (-125) 2 Units
Titans at Panthers
The Panthers organization is in trouble. Reports of Frank Reich’s job being on the line, considering it's his first season with a rookie QB, indicate things are not going well in Carolina. I don’t like anything about this team currently. The Titans may struggle to develop Will Levis, but they are a much better organization.
I will take the Titans to bounce back and win this game against a hapless Panthers team. The Panthers have too many problems figuring out how to field a competitive football team now.
Titans -3.5 (-110) 2 Units
Bills at Eagles
This is my favorite upset pick of the weekend. The Bills need every win they can get to stay alive in the playoff race. The Eagles are coming off an epic Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs on Monday Night Football. The Eagles have a short week against a very hungry Bills team.
This Bills team is catching the Eagles at a perfect moment and will upset the Eagles this weekend. The Eagles also have a game coming up against the Niners so they could be looking past the Bills.
