Thursday, November 12, 2026, 8pm
Washington Commanders at New York Giants (-1 1/2) — The Commanders blew a 14 point fourth quarter lead as both teams bungled overtime to force a tie. Despite leaving last week’s game injured, JJ McCarthy showed grit and guts in returning from injury to get a win over Philadelphia. John Harbaugh gets the most out of what he has. Giants cover
Sunday, November 15, 9:30am
New England Patriots at Detroit Lions (-2 1/2) from Munich, Germany — The Lions offense is clicking while the Patriots have a solid defense. Drake Maye is inconsistent while Jared Goff is spreading the ball around. Lions cover
1pm
Kansas City Chiefs (-3 1/2) at Atlanta Falcons — Even with Michael Penix back, the Falcons lost at home to a Baltimore team playing their backup quarterback. The Chiefs have i all, and Walrus Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will keep rolling. Steve Spagnuolo will send everything at Penix to take Bijan Robinson less of a factor. Chiefs cover
Houston Texans (-4 1/2) at Cleveland Browns — The Texans have won 3 of 4 since their 0-4 start while the Browns get Deshaun Watson back. The spread seems odd given that both teams have a good defense. Upset special, Browns win outright
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (-4 1/2) — Kirk Cousins was traded on Tuesday from the Raiders back to the Vikings. He is starting the Sunday agains a Packers team that has gotten very ho since heir slow start. Jordan Love is lighting it up. The Vikings have a great defense, but this is one rivalry where home field matters a great deal. Packers win but fail to cover
Miami Dolphins at Indianapolis Colts (-2 1/2) — The Colts kept Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor. They play the Dolphins, who need about 45 new players. If Taylor can get going early, Jones can execute the play action pass. The Dolphin lack the talent to stop them. Colts cover
Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints (-1 1/2) — In the pathetic NFC South, these teams are tied atop the division at 3-5 with the other two teams only 1/2 a game back. This could come down to the final play as neither Bryce Young or Tyler Shough have been consistent enough. home field does not matter in this series. Flip a coin, take the Saints in an ugly one. Saints cover
Buffalo Bills at (-7 1/2) New York Jets — The Bills broke down a tenacious Minnesota defense. The task to now not to have a letdown against the lowly Jets. Buffalo’s defense should feast on Geno Smith while Josh Allen should throw with abandon.A garbage touchdown is realistic. Bills win but fail to cover
Jacksonville Jaguars (-10 1/2) at Tennessee Titans — The Titans are awful and the Jaguars are good, but the spread is high for a road team that sometimes plays down to the level of heir competition. Thus has garbage touchdown written all over it. Jaguars win but fail to cover
4pm
Los Angeles Rams (-9 1/2) at Arizona Cardinals — The Rams offense is back to its pinball form while the Cardinals are good at very little if anything. Yes, the spread is high for a road team. Yes, the Rams sometimes play down to their competition. Yes, the Cardinals are borderline lifeless. Rams cover
Seattle Seahawks (-6 1/2) at Las Vegas Raiders — Former Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll coached the Raiders last year, but this year the faces are knew. Last year’s defending champion offensive coordinator Kling Kubiak now coaches the Raiders. They traded Kirk Cousins away. The Fernando Mendoza era now begins. We will see if he is the next Daryl Lamonica or JaMarcus Russell or somewhere in between. The Raiders lack an offensive line, running game, and defense, so Fernando may get slaughtered by the Dark Side. If the kid is really good, the Raiders have a slim shot. Seahawks win but fail to cover
San Francisco 49ers (-4 1/2) at Dallas Cowboys — Both teams have offense, but the 49ers have a great defense while he Cowboys have none. The 49ers are a buzzsaw and Dak Prescott will commit some turnovers. 49ers cover
8pm
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals (-3 1/2) — Joe Burrow is playing lights out. The Steelers won earlier this year 30-27 in Pittsburgh. This week he Bengals get revenge. The Cincinnati defense will make Aaron Rodgers look old. Bengals cover
Monday, November 16, 8pm
Los Angeles Chargers at Baltimore Ravens (-5 1/2) — With Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both injured and Joe Fagnano getting clobbered last week, the Ravens traded for competent journeyman Jacoby Brissett. Brissett starts against a Chargers team that is winless and getting worse by the week. Brissett will manage the game by leaning heavily on Derrick Henry, but the Ravens are vulnerable. The Chargers are desperate. Ravens win but fail to cover
