PIT-DEN | MIA-IND | GB-MIN | TEN-HOU
SUNDAY GAMES
Point of propagation: CAR -3.5 | Quality of the match: 62.8 out of 100
Brady Henderson's choice: The Seahawks' defense played three consecutive games without winning the match, which could have helped to turn a narrow defeat against the Chargers and Rams. Seattle has demonstrated its ability to take the ball away from its opponents by doing it 16 times in the first seven games, but ending the drought will not be easy Sunday against Carolina, an offense whose 10 turnovers are tied for third place in the championship. . Panthers 30, Seahawks 28
David Newton's choice: The Panthers are 5-0 at home and have a 10-game winning streak at Bank of America Stadium. The big difference is the turnover figure. Defensively, Carolina forced 13 at home against only two on the road, and offensively, she made only three at home against seven on the road. Stopping the running in Seattle will also be essential. The Panthers only yield 78.2 yards at home against 116.6. Panthers 21, Seahawks 17
0:53
Darren Woodson and John Fox say the Panthers' offense will be launched against the Seahawks again in the 12th week.
FPI earnings projection: RCA, 59.5%. This game will contribute greatly to the determination of the NFC race. According to FPI, the Panthers would have a 71% chance of winning the playoffs and 28% losing a win. The Seahawks would have a 74% chance of winning and a 28% loss.
What to watch for in fantasy: In the past five weeks, the Panthers have allocated 109.3 Fantasy Points to the opposing quarters, the league's second-highest total. And Russell Wilson has been a smarter smuggler in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, averaging 21.6 points in his last five games. Read more.

Point of propagation: BAL -11 | Quality of the match: 47.1 (out of 100)
Paul Gutierrez's choice: As veteran Raiders Frostee Rucker thinks, facing a reigning quarterback like Lamar Jackson of the Ravens will be a good thing for Oakland. It's a game changer for the defense, said Rucker. Although they are 31st against the race this season, the Raiders essentially bottled Russell Wilson last month, limiting it to 20 yards and returning it once. But of course, the rest of the Seahawks were raging. Ravens 26, Raiders 17

Jamison Hensley's choice: The story is on the side of Jackson and Baltimore. The Ravens are 19-4 at home in November under coach John Harbaugh, the NFL's top scorer. The Raiders are 3 to 10 on the road since the start of the 2017 season, which is tied for the fourth worst record of this period. Ravens 23, Raiders 17
FPI earnings projection: BAL, 86.9%. Jackson set records with his quick totals on his first start, but his Total QBR for the game was only 26.9. He will seek to improve his performance against a team of Raiders who has allowed the third highest QBR total in road games this season (71.4).
What to watch for in fantasy: If Joe Flacco is still missing in the 12th week because of his affection at the hip, Jackson could feast on an Oakland defense offering the most points per attack to the NFL opponents. Read more.

Point of propagation: PHI -6 | Quality of the match: 44.3 (out of 100)
Jordan Raanan's choice: The Eagles have recently taken possession of this rivalry, winning eight of the last nine games and chasing the Giants earlier this season. But they stumbled into entering it, having yielded 75 points in their last two games. This should allow the Giants to score, keep it close and cover the gap. But that will not be enough. Philadelphia can rush the smuggler (26 sacks), while the Giants have allowed 36 NFL sacks. It will be the difference. Eagles 26, Giants 24
The choice of Tim McManus: The injuries hit the high school so hard that it's barely recognizable. There is a plausible scenario in which the corners are Chandon Sullivan, De 'Vante Bausby and Cre' von LeBlanc. Of this group, only LeBlanc started a game in the NFL. The offensive failed to score in the first quarter in eight out of 10 games. The Giants will have the opportunity to free Odell Beckham Jr. early and ride Saquon Barkley the rest of the way. Giants 27, Eagles 20
FPI earnings projection: PHI, 67.8 percent. The defending champions have a hard climb to make in the playoffs, and winning this game against the Giants is a must. The Eagles would have a 5% chance to play in the playoffs with a loss and are only favored in two of their last five games after this one, according to FPI.
0:37
Darren Woodson and John Fox find the Eagles lost their losing game by losing two games by ending the Giants' two-game winning streak on Sunday.
What to watch for in fantasy: Beckham is the team's best perimeter receiver, but Sterling Shepard should also find his spots as a receiver of slot machines. Read more.
In case you missed it: Barkley is even better now that he's earning "dirty" yards … The Eagles are down, but Lane Johnson still does not buy "Patriot Way"
Point of propagation: NE -9.5 | Quality of the match: 33.8 (out of 100)
The choice of Mike Reiss: All the atmosphere of the Patriots locker room all week has been that the team is capable of more consistent performances on the road, and players now want to prove it. Better health – with expected returns from Rob Gronkowski (back, ankle) and the start of the right guard Shaq Mason (calf) – should also help. Patriots 31, Jets 17

The choice of Rich Cimini: The Jets say that they have not stopped the season or coach Todd Bowles, and recent history suggests it will be a competitive match. In fact, the last five meetings at the MetLife stadium have been decided at seven points or less, including two wins from the Jets. Another annoyed? Let's not be crazy. The Jets have averaged only 10 points per game over the last four editions, all of which have been defeated. Patriots 24, Jets 16
FPI earnings projection: NE, 80.0%. The Patriots are a big favorite on the road and should earn 80% of the time of the FPI. Until now, there has been only one game this season with a bigger road favorite, according to FPI: Patriots over the Bills in Week Eight.
What to watch for in fantasy: The Jets give slot machine receivers the fourth-highest number of fantasy points this season. Julian Edelman has lined up on 71% of his roads this season. Read more.

Point of propagation: TB -3.5 | Quality of the match: 28.1 out of 100
Nick Wagoner's choice: No NFL team has as much revenue as the 29-year-old Bucs, and no NFL team has fewer points than the 49-49s. Both teams should be able to score points, which is a good day for the Niners' running back, Matt Breida, but the bet is that the Niners, who have to travel across the country for this one, will not be present. with the takeaway, it was necessary to break a series of five defeats against the teams of the NFC South. Buccaneers 31, 49ers 27
Jenna Laine's choice: This is the easiest match remaining in the last six of the season at the Bucs. It's home, where they have a score 2-2 quite acceptable this season. That's also what could be Jameis Winston's last shot to prove that he deserves to stay after being whitened earlier in the season. Jason Pierre-Paul is about to end the 12-digit Bucs drought for 12 years, and the situation may well get stronger after Cairo Santos earned 5 out of 5 points when he scored extra points on Sunday. Buccaneers 27, 49ers 23
0:59
Darren Woodson sees the 49ers score more than 30 points in their 12th week game, but John Fox prefers the offensive potential of the Bucs.
FPI earnings projection: TB, 65.5%. Nick Mullens has published a total of more than 70 QBRs in each of his first two starts for the Niners. They have seen that only two QBs have recorded more than 70 QBRs in three consecutive games or more (minimum of 20 action games) since QBR was first followed in 2006: Colin Kaepernick had a series of four games in 2011 and Jimmy Garoppolo had three consecutive series last season.
What to watch for in fantasy: Breida's ability to play big game (eighth in the league in more than 10-yard playoffs), combined with the Bucs' inability to stop big games (eighth over 10 yards allowed per game), is a recipe for success at the 12th week. Read more.

Point of propagation: CIN -3 | Quality of the match: 23.8 (out of 100)
Pat McManamon's choice: The Browns can win consecutive outings for the first time in 65 games. Baker Mayfield played well against Atlanta and Kansas City, respectively 29th and 32nd of the championship. The Bengals are 31st. Browns 27, Bengals 23
ESPN Chalk has covered all your needs in NFL Week 12 betting:
Katherine Terrell's choice: The Bengals could and will likely struggle to contain both Mayfield and Nick Chubb, especially now that linebacker Preston Brown is out for the season. However, the potential return of A.J. Vert could turn things around in their favor. If the attack from Cincinnati could look like that of the beginning of the season, it could perhaps lead the Bengals to victory despite the difficulties of the defense. Bengals 28, Browns 21
FPI earnings projection: CIN, 66.8%. Mayfield achieved a total QB of 94.7 points in his previous career game and will look to keep that momentum on the road, where he posted a total QBR of 31.7 this season, the second worst among QB qualifiers. The Bengals have allocated a total of 64.2 QBR opponents QB this season, the third highest in the league.
What to watch for in fantasy: Darqueze Dennard was very targeted (23% of cover snapshots) and had trouble covering herself (0.38 point per snapshot) this season. Jarvis Landry aligns in 71 percent of the time and has a chance to get back on track by week 12. Read more.
In case you missed it: Advantage, Hue Jackson's Bengals? Not necessarily, say the Browns
Point of propagation: JAX -3 | Quality of the match: 22.0 (out of 100)
Mike DiRocco's choice: Leonard Fournette received 59 touchdowns in his first two games due to a hamstring injury. There is no reason to expect a significant reduction in its workload during the 12th week. The Jaguars won the playoff game in January, remaining cautious in attack and relying on the defense. It will be Sunday's strategy, especially if Josh Allen is back for Buffalo. They will try to force the rookie quarterback into a few mistakes, tackle a few turnovers and stop LeSan McCoy from breaking any big race. Do this, and they will be able to break their series of six consecutive defeats. Jaguars 13, Bills 7
Mike Rodak's choice: The last time Blake Bortles faced the Bills defense, he racked up 87 yards and led the Jaguars to a 10-3 win over the AFC's wild cards. To predict this match, the question is less about whether Bortles can defeat the Bills defense, but rather whether the Bills offense can prove that the 41 points she's earned with the Jets during A win in the 10th week were not a coincidence. In a game in which a touchdown could decide the result, I will give the advantage to a Jacksonville defense that allowed a conversion rate of 56% in the red zone compared to a rate of 67.7% allowed by Buffalo. Jaguars 14, Bills 10
FPI earnings projection: BUF, 51.7%. There may not be a lot of offense in this game. Both teams rank in the top 10 in defensive efficiency this season and in the fifth in offensive efficiency, according to FPI.
0:33
Darren Woodson and John Fox see the Jaguars win a road victory in Week 12 in Buffalo.
What to watch for in fantasy: Opponents have averaged only 5.66 yards per descent to face the Bills defense this season, the second-lowest NFL rate. Read more.
In case you missed it: Ten months after the playoffs, the Jaguars may have to start all over again at QB … Josh Allen's development camp opens as bills begin to close
Point of propagation: BAC -11.5 | Quality of the match: 49.3 (out of 100)
Josh Weinfuss's choice: The Cardinals reached new heights Sunday with a defeat against the modest Raiders. That will not be easier during the 12th week against the Chargers, who boast of one of the NFL's most prolific offenses. Even with a new coordinator, the Cardinals' offensive is still in contention: it ranks 32nd in seven major categories and 31st out of five. Even though Arizona's defense is improving week by week, thanks to Chandler Jones' 10.5 bags, the Chargers will not be tamed long. Chargers 34, Cardinals 17
The choice of Eric D. Williams: The Bolts gave the match to the Broncos in the 11th week. They will face their frustrations against the Cardinals and rookie quarterback Josh Rosen. Joey Bosa should be even more present in defense in his second match. That means bad things for Rosen, who has already been pressured by 37.3% of her spinoffs, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The Cardinals defeated the Chargers only once in franchise history, long ago in 2001. Chargers 28, Cardinals 13
FPI earnings projection: BAC, 93.0%. The Chargers are the big favorite of Week 12 and should win 93% of the time, according to FPI. The Chargers have been the big favorites only once in our dataset (since the beginning of the 2008 season), more than ten years ago, during the 10th week of 2008 against the Chiefs.
What to watch for in fantasy: Larry Fitzgerald uses many of his routes out of the slot, but the Chargers boast the third best defense against slot machine receivers for the season, thanks in large part to the game of halfback Desmond King. Read more.

Point of propagation: PIT -3 | Quality of the match: 72.4 (out of 100)
Jeremy Fowler's choice: The Steelers' offense is motivated to start quickly after a dismal first period in Jacksonville, and given Ben Rethlisberger's 719-yard total in his last two encounters with Denver, Mile High could serve as a stepping stone. The Steelers are 15-1-1 in their last 17 games on the road, and they generally perform well against quarterbacks in the middle of the road. Steelers 27, Broncos 20
Jeff Legwold's choice: The Broncos sometimes struggled to defend, and the Steelers throw the ball. Denver may be upset by a big day of his own attack, including the ball race, with some heroes from Von Miller and Bradley Chubb in defense, but the Broncos will need the best efforts of the season to do so. Steelers 24, Broncos 20
FPI earnings projection: PIT, 60.0 percent. According to FPI, the Steelers will have more than 95% of chances to participate in the playoffs, win or lose, but whether or not they play at weekends without cards depends a lot on this match. Pittsburgh would have a 53% chance of being eliminated in the first round with a win and a 26% loss, according to the FPI.
0:44
Darren Woodson and John Fox agree that it's hard to win in Denver, but see the Steelers do that.
What to watch for in fantasy: The Steelers are third in PPR (36.0), second in the bag ratio (10.8), fifth in average pocket time (TIP 2.1 seconds) and fourth in GBR (40.4). The Broncos offense is 31st in PPR (37.6), 29th in TIP (2.1) and 27th in GBR (40.5). Read more.
In case you missed it: "Night Beast" Antonio Brown is known to pump iron late into the night … JuJu Smith-Schuster goes from hero to Hines Ward in two days … Broncos and the Steelers can still run the ball in the right NFL pass
Point of propagation: IND -10 | Quality of the match: 42.9 (out of 100)
Cameron Wolfe's choice: The return of Ryan Tannehill added an additional intrigue to the Dolphins season which falters after a 3-0 start. But Tannehill is not 100% after missing the last five games due to a spinal injury, and maybe asking too much to ask him to compete with Andrew Luck in the shootout. Miami is 1-4 on the road this season, and a Colts offensive offense with a stellar offensive line is a tough challenge for a defense that has struggled to rush (29th in sacks, with 17) or stop the race (30 run defense, giving 142 yards per game) all season. Colts 33, dolphins 24
The choice of Mike Wells: The Colts are currently tied for the fourth-longest winning streak in the NFL in four games. Meanwhile, they averaged 36.5 points and only returned the ball once, and Luck had 13 touchdowns. Note Sunday should not be a problem for Indy because the Dolphins are 22nd in the NFL in number of points allowed (25.6) and 27th in total defense. Colts 34, dolphins 17
FPI earnings projection: IND, 82.5%. This game has two teams heading in opposite directions. The Colts have won four straight games and lead the NFL in offensive efficiency over that period, according to FPI (93 on a scale of 0 to 100). The Dolphins lost three of four and have a defensive efficiency of 25.3 over this period, the sixth worst in the league.
What to watch for in fantasy: The odds have been great, so it should definitely be possible for Jack Doyle to take advantage of the touchdown that is offered to the Colts offensive. Read more.

Point of propagation: MIN -3.5 | Quality of the match: 70.5 (out of 100)
Rob Demovsky's choice: The Packers either led or tied in the fourth quarter of their last three road games and could not win any of them. At some point, it must become deflated. It could be Sunday night in Minnesota, where the Packers have not won since the opening of their new stadium by the Vikings in 2016. After three "almost" consecutive on the road, it could be ugly. Vikings 28, Packers 17
Courtney Cronin's choice: There may be no magic answer to the question of why Kirk Cousins greatly underperformed in prime time (4-12), but the Vikings will have to find a way around this problem against Green Bay. This game not only decides a potential tie-breaker for NFC North, but could be Minnesota's last chance to prove itself as a playoff team. The defense plays better at home and asserts itself after a solid outing in Chicago. The Vikings have run pretty well at the US Bank Stadium in recent weeks. Against a packed team, they could finally create a game on the screen. Vikings 24, Packers 19
FPI earnings projection: MIN, 56.3 percent. This game is another with huge implications in the playoffs for both teams. The Packers would have a 61% chance of winning the playoffs with a win, according to FPI, and 17% loss. The Vikings would have a 71% chance with a win and 26% with a defeat.
What to watch for in fantasy: Minnesota gives the perimeter recipients the least fancy points, including the third lowest number in the last eight weeks. Davante Adams is on the verge of pairing, but it's definitely one of the toughest challenges of the season. Read more.
In case you missed it: Aaron Rodgers figures do not match the Packers' record … The miles of frequent flyers, the only thing the Packers win on the road … The Vikings are struggling to gain space in the run, protect the Cousins
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Point of propagation: HOU -6 | Quality of the match: 45.1 (out of 100)
Turron Davenport's choice: The Texans are on fire for their Monday night game against the Titans after winning seven straight games and averaging 28 points per game over the past three games. Aside from the hiccups against the Colts, when the unit gave up 37 points, the Tennessee defense was solid, allowing only 18.9 points per game. But with or without Marcus Mariota, the offense of the Titans has been erratic. Texans 24, Titans 17
0:38
Darren Woodson and John Fox agree that the Texans will earn their eighth row in a row against the Titans.
Sarah Barshop's choice: It will be a good defensive confrontation as both teams are ranked among the top six in scoring. Tennessee averages 18.9 points to 20.5 for Houston. The Texans will continue their winning streak and avoid being swept by Tennessee for the first time since 2007. Texans 23, Titans 13
FPI earnings projection: HOU, 74.2%. Mariota is questionable after being injured again at the elbow during the 11th week. The Titans are outsiders on the road with a 30% chance of winning, according to the REIT. But if Blaine Gabbert starts, their chance of winning would drop to 20%.
What to watch for in fantasy: DeAndre Hopkins has owned Tennessee throughout his career, averaging 10.4 targets, 6.5 receptions, 101.8 yards and 0.64 touchdowns in 11 career games. Read more.
