Week 12 of the NFL regular season is in the books with the exception of Monday Night Football between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles. Here is a quick review of the week’s betting results.
Favorites for the week were 13-2 straight up and 7-7-1 against the spread. The home teams were 9-6 SU and 7-7-1 ATS. The Over/Under for the week was 8-7.
The biggest two underdogs to win outright were Tampa Bay +5.5 over Seattle 14-5 and Kansas City +3.5 over Denver 30-27.
The two biggest favorites to cover the spread were Pittsburgh -8 over Indianapolis 28-7 and New Orleans -7.5 over Los Angeles 49-21.
The Giants defeated Cleveland 27-13 earning another cover on the road. New York has cashed lately, as the Giants are 5-1 ATS over their past 6 overall. On the road, the Giants are now 3-1-1. The Giants play Pittsburgh on the road next week and are 3-0 SU and ATS versus teams from the AFC North this season.
The other New York team, the Jets lost to New England 22-17 after squandering a lead late in the fourth quarter. The Jets are now 2-9 SU over their last 11 games versus New England.
However, the Jets are now 6-0-1 ATS over their last 7 games and dating back to last season 11-5-1 ATS over their last 17 overall.
On the week, the OVER was 8-7 versus the UNDER. In six games that featured two AFC teams, the UNDER was 4-2, while in 5 games that featured two NFC teams the OVER was 3-2. In the 4 games featuring the AFC against the NFC, the OVER was 3-1.
The OVER trend continued for teams that travel from the West Coast to the East Coast, as this week the OVER was 2-1 in those three games, with the only exception the 19 points Seattle and Tampa Bay scored on a 46-point closing line.
Both games between Arizona and Atlanta and San Francisco and Miami easily ended OVER.
