NFL Betting News

NFL odds weren’t too kind to us on Thanksgiving Day but that doesn’t mean history has to repeat itself this weekend. Here are some quick picks to consider for Week 12.  

Rams (+3) over Seahawks: It feels funny to trust the Rams with your NFL picks but I like them at home against the Seahawks, who are winless on the road. St. Louis is starting to find an offensive groove as Steven Jackson is a beast and Brandon Gibson is emerging as a go-to receiver. The Seahawks are beaten down and dejected after they entered 2009 with high expectations whereas the Rams have nowhere to go but up. They’re in a better place mentally and should triumph on Sunday. 

Titans (-3) over Cardinals: Is there a hotter team out there than Tennessee? They’ve found their confidence and haven’t lost since Vince Young took over at quarterback. Arizona’s run defense has usually been good this season but it faltered against an elite group like Carolina and now faces the league’s No. 1 rushing attack from Tennessee. I like the Titans to pressure Kurt Warner, run like crazy and extend that winning streak to five.

NFL betting fans have to stay sharp this week, as the Week 12 schedule starts early with three Thanksgiving games this Thursday. Let’s explore some picks for mid week and beyond. 

NFL Picks Parlay for November 26

Packers (no line) over Lions: Aaron Rodgers may finally get some time to throw this week and that’s frightening for Lions fans. That Rodgers has managed a 19:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio despite taking a league-high 43 sacks in 10 games shows you how good he’s been this season; he was sacked 34 times in 16 games last season. Against a Detroit team that doesn’t pressure the quarterback well, Rodgers should have a huge day. The Lions may also lose Matthew Stafford (clavicle) for the matchup so it’s tough to see how they can win this one. 

Raiders (+13.5) over Cowboys: Tony Romo may be starting his usual late-season slide, as he and the Cowboys barely scraped past Washington. Now America’s Team faces a respectable pass defense and a team brimming with confidence after upsetting Cincinnati. I say Dallas wins, but not by two touchdowns.

The game between the Patriots and Colts turned instantly into a new classic in the NFL betting. The controversial decision of Bill Belichick was commented on by all sides and there are even those who defend it and ensure that New England coach was right.

It is likely that Brady and Manning will see new faces in the postseason, because Pats and Colts are two serious contenders in the AFC.

Before the highly anticipated rematch, here´s Week Eleven Analysis.

1 .- About the Indianapolis - Colts became the third team in history with nineteen consecutive regular-season victories, joining the Patriots, who have already done twice (21.08.2006, 18.04.2003) . It was also the ninth win of coach Jim Caldwell, who became the first rookie coach to win his first nine games, after overcoming potsy Clark (8-0, Portsmouth, 1931).

The Colts now have their third 9-0 start in five seasons (13-0 in 2005 and 9-0 in 2006).
