Week 12 NFL Betting Preview
Week 11 went slightly to the favorites in NFL betting circles, fuelled by the surprise Monday Night rout by the 49ers over the Bears.
And Week 12 opening lines shape up with a full slate of games (bye weeks are over), many of which showcase very tight odds.
Four games did not get an opening line Tuesday as injury situations in Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Baltimore kept those games off the board at online sportsbooks and in Vegas.
Favorites were 7-6-1 ATS in Week 11, with home teams holding an 8-6 SU edge. Totals betting trended slightly UNDER the number at 8-6.
