Thanksgiving is known for its big spreads, and Week 12 continues with that theme. The Patriots, Steelers and Eagles are huge favorites, which should not be a surprise considering they’re at the top of the list for Super Bowl odds. Don’t let the big numbers scare you away. These teams are hot and could all win in routs. Favorites went 8-4-1 against the spread (ATS) last week, continuing a hot stretch. Underdogs still lead, at 77-72-8 for the season. My most confident picks ATS this week are the Saints, Colts and Steelers. Tricky games to avoid: Broncos-Raiders and Panthers- Jets.
NFL Week 12 picks: Steelers, Eagles, Patriots cover big spreads; Saints lock of week
