NFL Odds: Opening Spreads for Week 12 Betting

The Denver Broncos will look to bounce back from a shocking 22-7 loss to the St. Louis Rams when they take on the Miami Dolphins as seven-point home favorites this weekend in a matchup with serious implications for the AFC playoff race.

The 7-3 Broncos return home after going 1-2 straight up and against the spread in three road games, including a brutal 43-21 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 9.

The Broncos now find themselves in a dead heat with the Kansas City Chiefs atop the AFC West, with five other teams trailing within a game in a tightly contested AFC Wild Card battle.

The 6-4 Dolphins have posted SU and ATS wins in four of their last five games. Miami has played impressive defense during that stretch, surrendering just 11.2 points per game while holding opposing offenses to 237 or fewer total yards on three occasions.

The Chiefs will be gunning for their sixth straight win SU and ATS when they take on the Oakland Raiders as seven-point favorites on the NFL Week 12 betting lines. Kansas City heads into action in Thursday’s Chiefs vs. Raiders betting matchup in Oakland with a solid 4-1 record ATS on the road this season.

The 0-10 Raiders dropped a disappointing 13-6 decision to the San Diego Chargers last weekend, extending their current SU losing streak to 16. However, Oakland has been a solid bet at times this season, going 5-5 ATS overall and 4-1 ATS when pegged as the underdog by greater than seven points.

The Baltimore Ravens will take on the New Orleans Saints as four-point underdogs Monday night in a battle of two teams desperate for a win.

The 6-4 Ravens have dropped two of their last three SU and ATS and need a win to keep pace in both the ultra-competitive AFC North and the AFC Wild Card hunt.

After a pair of stunning home losses to the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals ended their 11-game regular-season win streak at home, the 4-6 Saints now find themselves tied with the Atlanta Falcons atop the NFC South and in danger of falling out of playoff contention.

In other NFL betting action for Week 12, the Falcons are favored by three points over the Cleveland Browns at sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark, the Bengals are one-point road underdogs against the Houston Texans, and San Diego meets St. Louis as a 5.5-point home favorite.
