NFL action continues on Sunday after we were treated to a Thanksgiving tripleheader followed by the first-ever Black Friday game between the Dolphins and Jets. Now we have another 11 matches on Sunday to keep the party going, and what better way to end the week than with an NFL contest? I have already won two NFL Mega Contests this season at odds of +1457 and +1381 We want to win the season no matter what, but how about a hat trick?
Let’s dive into my Week 12 NFL game and don’t forget to read ours too NFL picks for every game this season.
Falcons ML (+112)
Bengals ML (+104)
Brown’s ML (+108)
NFL combo odds: +799
For this NFL contest, I’m betting on three narrow underdogs on the money line, all with plus-money odds. Let’s break them down one by one.
Atlanta Falcons ML over New Orleans Saints (+110)
To start things off, we travel to the pitiful NFC South for a divisional duel between the Saints and Falcons. The Saints lead the division, albeit with a record of 5-5, while the Falcons are right behind at 4-6. Based on what we’ve seen this season, there is no reason why New Orleans deserves to be an away favorite. The Saints have won just two of their last five games, and those victories both came against teams without their starting quarterback (Colts and Bears).
Admittedly, there are question marks surrounding Falcons QB Desmond Ridder, but the youngster should be motivated to put in a big performance knowing his career as an NFL starter is on the line. Additionally, Atlanta does its best work on the ground behind Bijan Robinson, and they should find some success against a Saints team that is giving up the 10th-most yards per carry. This game should be close, but seeing the Falcons win at plus-mod odds when they have home-field advantage is an opportunity I won’t pass up.

Cincinnati Bengals ML over Pittsburgh Steelers (+104)
Next we go to the NFC North for another divisional duel: The Bengals host the Steelers. Again, we’re going for the narrow home win because I think the oddsmakers are overreacting to Joe Burrow’s season-ending injury. This could come back to haunt me, but I believe Jake Browning can do a serviceable job in this offense and he has the weapons to help him, such as stud running back Joe Mixon and star receiver Ja’Marr Chase . Granted, it’s a baptism of fire against this vicious Steelers defense, but I don’t think the Bengals have to be great to win this game. Pittsburgh just fired its offensive coordinator and quarterback Kenny Pickett has just one touchdown pass in his last 5 games. This should be an ugly game, but given the Steelers’ offense, I don’t think they deserve to be favored on the road in this game.

Cleveland Browns ML over Denver Broncos (+108)
To conclude this NFL contest, this time we will be pitting the Browns against the Broncos, a weak opponent. I absolutely love this Browns defense, and even if Deshaun Watson is out this season, I firmly believe they can continue to win ugly. It’s a little scary going against a Denver team that has won four in a row, but I believe the Broncos are the perfect opponent for Cleveland right now. Denver has allowed the most rushing yards and yards per carry in the league, which should open the door to a great day for Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt. The Browns have been a run-first offense for years, so Kevin Stefanski’s mouth might be watering at the thought of unleashing his backfield in this game. I expect a similar game to what we saw between the Browns and Steelers last week and hope Cleveland continues its march toward the postseason.
