NFL Week 12: Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Cleveland Browns are enduring a forgettable season, as shown by their dismal 2-8 record. They are coming off two consecutive losses, with an offense that has struggled mightily, tallying just 162 points—the worst in the entire AFC. Despite this, quarterback Jameis Winston hasn’t performed poorly, with a 61.4% pass completion rate, 1,407 yards, and only three interceptions. However, he needs to get his team into scoring positions more frequently.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the complete opposite, leading the AFC North with an 8-2 record and fresh off a victory against the Baltimore Ravens, the other top team in the division. The Steelers have lost only once on the road this season and are riding a five-game winning streak.

Browns vs. Steelers Betting Pick: Steelers

NFL Week 12: Carolina Panthers vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Despite playing in the weakest division in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers have been mediocre, even though they recently secured wins against the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants. Their defense ranks as the second-worst in the league, and their gamble on quarterback Bryce Young is progressing slowly. He has thrown more interceptions (6) than touchdown passes (4) this season.

The Kansas City Chiefs, meanwhile, are nursing a bruised ego after suffering their first loss of the season last weekend, a 30-21 defeat to the Buffalo Bills. Now sitting at 9-1, the best record in the NFL, there’s no doubt they’ll look to dominate Carolina. Patrick Mahomes, who was intercepted twice in the loss, will likely lead the charge with a vengeance.

Panthers vs. Chiefs Betting Pick: Chiefs

NFL Week 12: Indianapolis Colts vs. Detroit Lions

The Indianapolis Colts are in the hunt for the AFC South title against the Houston Texans but need to string together a winning streak to stay competitive. They currently hold a losing record (5-6) and have allowed more points than they’ve scored. At home, they’ve managed three wins in five games, which are modest numbers but enough to keep them afloat in a division where parity prevails.

On the other hand, the Detroit Lions share the same record as Kansas City, with only one loss this season. They are emerging as strong contenders for the NFC Super Bowl berth and remain undefeated on the road. Despite being intercepted nine times, Jared Goff has maintained a 73% completion rate and delivered nine touchdown passes, underscoring his efficiency under center.

Colts vs. Lions Betting Pick: Lions

NFL Week 12: Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Los Angeles Rams are hovering around .500 this season, keeping their battle with Arizona for the NFC West lead alive. At home,they’ve secured three victories, and veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford has put together a solid campaign with a 66.5% completion rate, 13 touchdown passes, and seven interceptions.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles continue to dominate the NFC North as they have in recent years, boasting an 8-2 record. Riding a six-game winning streak, the Eagles have only lost once on the road. Jalen Hurts is in the running for best quarterback of the season, with a 69.2% completion rate, 12 touchdown passes, and just five interceptions to his name.
