NFL Picks: Week 12

Tampa Bay Buccaneers versus Atlanta Falcons

The Buccaneers come in at 4-6, while the Falcons are off a win against the Seahawks and are 6-4. Last year the teams split as both won on the road. The Falcons are 8.5 point favorites and have a +20 to +5 edge don the Power Ranking Indicator. Neither teams is on fire, with the Bucs at “dead up” and Atlanta at “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Tampa Bay is tied for eighth in Team Volatility, which is another indicator to bet against them as the road underdog. The Falcons will win this one to improve to 7-4.

Buffalo Bills versus Kansas City Chiefs

Both teams are struggling at the moment. The Bills come in at 5-5 and are “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the Chiefs fell to the lowly Giants and are 6-4 on the season after a 5-0 start. The Chiefs won the last meeting as home favorite in 2015. Nearly identical on the Power Ranking Indicator, the Chiefs are a 9.5 point favorite and are tied for eighth in Team Volatility. I see the Chiefs ending their skid with a relatively easy win.

Carolina Panthers versus New York Jets

The Panthers are coming in at 7-3 and “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator. On the slip side, the Jets are 4-6 and “average” status. There is a similar gap on the Power Ranking Indicator with the Panthers holding a +25 to +13 advantage. The Panthers won the last meeting in 2013 as the home favorite and are a 9.5 point favorite this time around. Carolina will continue to roll and take down the Jets, covering the spread.

Denver Broncos versus Oakland Raiders

The Broncos look to end a six-game skid with Paxton Lynch taking over at quarterback. Oakland comes in at 4-6 and are a 3.5 point home favorite. Denver won the first meeting this season as the home favorite on October 1. Both teams are currently riding the “dead” status on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the Raiders hold a +13 to +3 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. I see Oakland continuing Denver’s woes, holding on in a tight game.

New Orleans Saints versus Los Angeles Rams

Two to the top teams in the NFC face off, as the Saints come in at 8-2 and the Rams at 7-3. The Rams got handled easily against the Vikings last week, while the Saints came back to defeat the Redskins. Both teams are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator and are nearly even in terms of Power Ranking Indicator. The Rams are a 2 point home favorite, but having lost to one of the NFC powerhouses a week ago does not bode well for them this week. I see the Saints continuing to roll, taking down the Rams in a game decided late.

Houston Texans versus Baltimore Ravens

Houston tries to stay within reach of the .500 mark, while the Ravens look to improve to 6-5. Both teams are “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator, but the Ravens hold some advantages which will tilt this prediction in their favor. They have a +12 to +6 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and are tied for 10th in Team Volatility. As a 7.5 point favorite, I look for the Ravens to overtake the Texans, but perhaps not covering the spread.
