NFL ATS Pick 1: Bills Win Again In Detroit
The Bills, who beat Cleveland last week at Ford Field, remain the chalk in the Super Bowl odds. Should they win this game, they’ll have as many wins at Ford Field this season as the Lions (two).
The best hosts for an unexpected home game.
To thank Detroit, we’re donating $20,000 to the @Lions foundation and sent @TimHortonsUS breakfast their way.

— Buffalo Bills (@BuffaloBills) November 22, 2022
One of the great myths is that there’s a tradition of Detroit success on Thanksgiving. In reality, the Lions are 0-14 straight up and 3-11 against the spread in their last 14 games as a home underdog on Turkey Day.
Pick: Buffalo Bills -10 (-110), 1 unit
NFL ATS Pick 2: Ravens Rebound Against Jaguars
While the Ravens are 5-1 SU in their last six games, they’ve not been as impressive from a betting standpoint. Baltimore is just 2-4-1 ATS over the past seven games.
The Ravens are 4-1 ATS on the road this season. Jacksonville is 1-6 ATS in the past seven games and 0-4 ATS in the past four home games.
Pick: Baltimore Ravens -4 (-110), 1 unit
NFL ATS Pick 3: Titans Cover Yet Again
Something must give in this game. The Titans are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games. They’re also 24-14 ATS as an underdog under head coach Mike Vrabel.

Cincinnati is 7-1 ATS over the past eight games. And the Bengals are 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings with Tennessee.
Pick: Tennessee Titans +1.5 (-110), 1 unit
- ATS season record 21-11-1
Week 12 NFL Picks Against the Spread Quick Picks

- Patriots (+3) vs Vikings: Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins is 2-10 SU and ATS in prime time games.
- Broncos (-2.5) vs Panthers: The Panthers are 4-1 ATS in their past five games. But Denver is 6-1 SU in the last seven against Carolina.
- Commanders (-3) vs Falcons: Washington is 5-0-1 ATS over the past six games.
- Buccaneers (-3) vs Browns: Tampa Bay is looking to cover in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 1-2.

- Chargers (-3) vs Cardinals: The Chargers are 5-0 ATS in their last five visits to Arizona and 5-0 ATS in their last five road games.
- Chiefs (-14) vs Rams: The defending Super Bowl champion Rams are down to QB3 on the depth chart.
- 49ers (-8.5) vs Saints: The 49ers are 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games.
- Eagles (-8.5) vs Packers: Green Bay is 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS over the past eight games.
