Chicago Bears vs Detroit Lions (-9.5)
With the way the Detroit Lions are rolling right now, it's hard to look away from them, even with a big spread against an NFC North rival.

Prediction: Detroit 27, Chicago 17
New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys (-3.5)
With the way these teams have this year, how can you have confidence in either the Cowboys or Giants. Give me the points.

Prediction: Dallas 17, New York Giants 14
Miami Dolphins vs Green Bay Packers (-3.5)
I like what I've continued to see from the Dolphins of late. If they want anything to do with hanging around in the playoff race, a big win is needed in Week 13.

Prediction: Miami 24, Green Bay 21
Las Vegas Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs (-12.5)
Despite their elite record, the Kansas City Chiefs simply haven't gotten it done this year as a big favorite.

Prediction: Kansas City 25, Las Vegas 20
Los Angeles Chargers (-1.5) vs Atlanta Falcons
If you look at what the Los Angeles Chargers do well, they matchup strongly against what we've seen from the Atlanta Falcons of late.

Prediction: Los Angeles Chargers 25, Atlanta 22
Indianapolis Colts (-2.5) vs New England Patriots
This is an interesting line to look at. With the struggles the Patriots have faced, things won't get any easier against a desperate Indianapolis team.

Prediction: Indianapolis 23, New England 16
Houston Texans (-4.5) vs Jacksonville Jaguars
After a disastrous loss against the Tennessee Titans last week, the Houston Texans defense bounces back against a very vulnerable Jacksonville squad.

Prediction: Houston 27, Jacksonville 19
Seattle Seahawks (-1.5) vs New York Jets
At the end of the day, I simply can't trust the New York Jets on a weekly basis. The Seahawks are playing for much more at this stage and need to show the urgency they had last week.

Prediction: Seattle 21, New York Jets 15

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5)
Coming off a bye week, the Cincinnati Bengals need this one to stay alive in the AFC playoff picture. Splitting against Pittsburgh makes a lot of sense, and that starts here at home in Week 13.

Prediction: Cincinnati 25, Pittsburgh 21
Tennessee Titans vs Washington Commanders (-6.5)
With the way they've played lately, the Washington Commanders don't give me any confidence in covering this type of number against a scrappy Titans squad.

Prediction: Washington 24, Tennessee 21
Arizona Cardinals vs Minnesota Vikings (-3.5)
I like the makeup of this Minnesota Vikings team. I don't think the Cardinals will be able to hold up with the defensive looks this Minnesota defense will throw at them.

Prediction: Minnesota 20, Arizona 15
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6.5) vs Carolina Panthers
As much as the talent level might not be there overall, the Carolina Panthers are showing improvements, and this is too many points for a divisional clash.

Prediction: Tampa Bay 23, Carolina 20
Los Angeles Rams (-2.5) vs New Orleans Saints
If the Los Angeles Rams want to stay in the mix in the wide open NFC West, this is a win they can't afford to let slip away against New Orleans.

Prediction: Los Angeles Rams 27, New Orleans 22
Philadelphia Eagles vs Baltimore Ravens (-3)
Could this be a potential Super Bowl preview? It's not out of the realm of possibility. As we stand right now, I simply have more confidence in the Ravens, especially at home.

Prediction: Baltimore 30, Philadelphia 26
San Francisco 49ers vs Buffalo Bills (-6.5)
How can anyone have confidence in the product that the San Francisco 49ers are putting out there on a weekly basis? With the injuries and inconsistencies, this one is ripe for another Buffalo blowout.

Prediction: Buffalo 27, San Francisco 17
Cleveland Browns vs Denver Broncos (-5.5)
As much as the win for Cleveland over Pittsburgh was impressive last week, I don't envision them playing to that level for two weeks in a row.

Prediction: Denver 24, Cleveland 16
