The Steelers never lose to the Colts, the Lions never win in Week 12 and the Rams face their largest spread in six seasons as they struggle miserably.
Its not every year that the defending Super Bowl champs are 16-point underdogs but the Chiefs lay 16 at home to the Rams. And its not every week that a 7-3 team is a 10-point underdog, but the Giants seem prime for regression while the Cowboys look like they are rolling.
Check out the Week 12 NFL betting trends along with batches of tasty streaks for all three Thanksgiving Day games.

Cleveland is likely to close as the franchise’s biggest road favorite this week in Jacksonville. If the line reaches -7, that will surpass the -6.5 from last season at the Jets.
Still, are backers really comfortable betting on a team that is 4-32 SU in their last 36 Sunday road games and 1-9 ATS in their past 10?
(Check out Thanksgiving Day game trends in this separate article).
Elsewhere, if you didn’t learn your lesson about betting against the New England Patriots as home underdogs two weeks ago vs Baltimore, here’s another chance to get burned. Arizona opened as 2.5-point favorites and the Patriots numbers as underdogs are staggering (10-2 SU past 12 games as home dogs). Check it out.

Carolina at Minnesota -4.5, Total 48.5 | Matchup Report
The Vikings are 15-5-1 ATS in 21 recent Week 12 games. Sorry that’s all we’ve got….
Carolina is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Sunday road games.
OVER is 9-2 Minnesota’s last 11 Sunday home games.
Tennessee at Indianapolis -3.5, Total 51 | Matchup Report
The Titans have a helluva hard time against the Colts, limping to a 4-20 SU mark in 24 meetings. If you think their ATS mark must be a lot better, at 7-17 ATS, not really. And if you had blindly bet OVER the past 8 Tennessee Sunday road games, you would have won all 8 bets.
Indianapolis is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 at home against Tennessee
OVER is 17-6 Tennessee’s last 23 games.
UNDER is 16-6 Tennessee’s last 22 games at Indianapolis.
Arizona at New England +2.5 Total 49.5 Â | Matchup Report
True these Patriots are not the same Patriots, but you are still playing with financial fire if you bet against them as underdogs. They are 18-4-1 ATS past 23 games as home dogs since Nov. 1994 and won 10 of 12 outright, including two weeks ago against Baltimore. Overall, New England is 17-6 ATS in their last 23 games when playing as the underdog.
Arizona is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against New England.
Cleveland at Jacksonville +6.5 Total 49 | Matchup Report
If this game closes -7 or higher, it will be the biggest road favorite number for the Browns in franchise history. They were -6.5 at the New York Jets last year and won easily 23-3. This is the fourth time this year that the Jags have been home dogs of 6 or more, covering the spread twice. But do Cleveland bettors trust a team that is 4-32 SU in their last 36 Sunday road games?
Cleveland is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games.
Cleveland is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 conference games.
Miami at New York Jets +7, Total 44.5 | Matchup Report
After not being road favorites in more than three years, the Dolphins are road chalk in consecutive weeks. They choked in Denver, its hard to imagine they can choke against the Jets.
Miami is 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games
UNDER is 8-2 Miami’s last 10 games at NY Jets.
Las Vegas at Atlanta +3 Total 54 | Matchup Report
Vegas has covered both times as road chalk so far in 2020 but face a Falcons team riding an 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as the underdog. Vegas is strong the road, Atlanta is terrible in non-conference games. You figure out this trendy mess.
Atlanta is 2-14 ATS in their last 16 non-conference games.
Las Vegas is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games
UNDER is 7-1 past 8 Falcons games as home dogs
New York Giants at Cincinnati +6, Total 43 | Matchup Report
Wow, the Giants are 6-point road favorites, what is wrong with the world? The Giants have been 6-point chalk just five times since the 2013 season and just twice as 6-point road favorites since 2010! And if it seems like you win your bet every time you bet the Giants on the road, its because you are. They have covered 8 straight and 17 of 20 road games!
NY Giants are 13-2 ATS in their last 15 Sunday road games.
NY Giants have covered 8 straight and 17-3 ATS in their last 20 games on the road.

LA Chargers at Buffalo +5.5, Total 52.5 | Matchup Report
Buffalo usually wins as the favorite (20-4 SU) but doesn’t always cover. Meanwhile the Chargers almost always beat Buffalo (18-5 SU past 23 games against Buffalo) but don’t always cover. Maybe try the OVER based on the Chargers recent run?
OVER is 9-2 of LA Chargers’ last 11 road games.
Chargers lost 8 straight SU as underdog

Denver is 3-10 SU in their last 13 non-conference games.
New Orleans is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 road games
Kansas City at Tampa Bay +3.5 Total 56 | Matchup Report
