It was once again one-sided week in the world of NFL betting, as sportsbooks around the country once again got the best of public bettors led by five straight-up upsets.
The biggest of the swings that helped the oddsmakers was the 49ers (+5.5), Patriots (+1.5) and Panthers (+3) upset victories over the Rams, Cardinals and Vikings, respectively. In addition, the sportsbooks pounded NFL bettors in Week 12 when the New York Giants (-6.5), Cleveland Browns (-7) and Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5) burned many square bettors. While all three came out on the winning side, they failed to cover against the spread.
