NFL Week 12 could have trouble matching the excitement we experienced in Week 11. Last Sunday, the NFL set a record when five teams scored a field goal in the final play. With just seven weeks left in the regular season, let’s look at every game from Week 12 and find a best bet in each one.Welcome to the Week 12 edition of Will’s Wagers.

Bills @ TEXANSNick Chrubb Over 21.5 rushing yardageThe Bills may be headed to the playoffs. However, they will need to overcome a subpar running defense in order for them to have a chance. The Texans are likely to start backup quarterback Davis Mills once again, so expect Houston to rely heavily on the run game. With the Texans likely starting backup quarterback Davis Mills once again, look for Houston to rely heavily on the run game.PATRIOTS @ BENGALSPatriots team total Over 28.5 pointsThe Bengals are allowing a league-worst 6.3 yards per play, as well as a league-worst 33.6 points per game — dead last in the league by a wide margin. The Patriots should score at will, as do most Cincinnati opponents.GIANTS @ LIONSLions -10.5We’re unsure as to who will play quarterback for the Giants on Sunday, but it will either be a mistake-prone Jameis Winston or Jaxson Dart coming off of a concussion. The Lions have just come off a poor performance against the Eagles. I expect them bounce back in a major way. SEAHAWKS vs TITANSTitans Team Total Under 13.5Perhaps a game between the league’s best defense and its worst offense. Titans @ RAVENSJets +13.5As badly as this season and many seasons before have gone for the Jets they’ve covered twice in their last three games. They also pushed a game against the Patriots that they probably should have covered. They have extra time to rest before they face the Ravens, who are on a roll. I’ll take the points here, as Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to miss practice time on a weekly basis. Jackson hasn’t looked like himself, and is coming off a 10-yard-rushing performance against the Browns.COLTS @ CHIEFSColts +3.5At 5-5, the Chiefs can ill-afford many more losses if they hope to get back to the playoffs. The Vikings will likely need a win at Green Bay to maintain their playoff hopes. If they’re going to get that win, running the ball and playing good defense will have to be the formula, as their young quarterback has struggled immensely in his first NFL action this season.STEELERS @ BEARSSteelers +2.5Mike Tomlin excels as an underdog, and the Bears have been winning in a way that is unsustainable — 22 takeaways versus just six turnovers, leading to a league-high +16 turnover differential. The Steelers are known for winning the turnover battle themselves, so I’ll take the points in what should be a very close game.JAGUARS @ CARDINALSTrey McBride Over 70.5 receiving yardsMcBride has gotten into the end zone five straight weeks and is coming off of a game where he caught 10 of his 11 targets for 115 yards, which followed a 13-target 127-yard performance the week prior. McBride is expected to continue his stellar play for the Cardinals. BROWNS @ Raiders1st quarter will end in a draw (+280). This is a great bet to make in an otherwise dull game. The total of 36.5 is one of the lowest we’ll see all season. The first quarter could be 3-3 or even 0-0. Eagles -3Yes the Cowboys new and improved defensive unit looked great in their road victory over the Raiders on Monday night. However, it seemed that the Eagles had also figured out how to play defense. I still think the Cowboys are several notches below them. I’ll lay the points with the defending champs.FALCONS @ SAINTSFalcons +2.5Kirk Cousins will be at quarterback for the Falcons, as he returns to the site of his lone career playoff victory, a 2019 wild-card win as a member of the Vikings. Saints should not be laying any points. The Falcons have been one of the most disappointing teams, but they shouldn’t. Taking the points here is the only way I could go.BUCCANEERS @ RAMSOver 50.5 longest field goal made If either team makes one from 51+ yards, this bet is a winner. While the Rams’ kicking situation is murky, Bucs’ kicker Chase McLaughlin is 8-for-8 on the year from 50+, including making a 65-yarder. In ideal kicking conditions, with two teams that can move the ball, I think there’s a good chance somebody connects on a long one.PANTHERS @ 49ERSOver 49.5 combined points scoredThe 49ers won convincingly last week, but allowed nearly 500 yards of offense to the Cardinals, at about seven yards per play. The 49ers’ offense is rolling, but their defense is decimated by injuries. Will Hill has been betting on sports since over a ten-year period.
