Introduction

This week, NFL bettors are gearing up for an exciting slate of matches featuring three double-digit spreads in Week 12. With a previous weekend that saw eight underdogs cover, many may be tempted to ride that wave again. As playoff positioning heats up, our panel of experts is set to analyze the matchups, weighing in on various predictions while closely monitoring the outcomes of essential games.

Double-Digit Spread Analysis

As powerhouse teams battle for playoff berths, the experts from B/R are analyzing key matchups while keeping in mind team momentum and strength of opponents. Analyst Gary Davenport, alongside peers Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Moe Moton, and Brent Sobleski, brings insights into each game, but opinions are mixed, particularly when considerable spreads are involved.

Game Predictions and Insights

Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans (-5.5): While Gagnon backs the Texans to cover due to Buffalo's injuries and weak run defense, others like Hanford lean towards the Bills, citing quarterback Josh Allen's capabilities to lead the team to victory.

New England Patriots vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-8.5): Hanford and Knox predict a narrow win for the Patriots against a struggling Bengals team, while Gagnon holds out hope for the Bengals despite key player suspensions and injuries.

Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants (-10.5): With the Lions eager for redemption following a tough loss, Davenport and O'Donnell are confident they'll win by more than the spread against a floundering Giants team.

Baltimore Ravens vs. New York Jets (-13.5): Both Davenport and Moton believe the Ravens will dominate despite the Jets' improved performance under QB Tyrod Taylor.

Tennessee Titans vs. Seattle Seahawks (-13.5): Gagnon supports the Seahawks, restating their strong away record, while Sobleski sees potential for the Titans to surprise given their recent close games.

ATS Standings Overview

The analysts' consistency has varied, with Moe Moton currently leading at 90-74, followed by Knox and Hanford, closely competing. It's worth noting Gagnon’s impressive climb, now tied for fourth.

Conclusion
