The Kansas City Chiefs will try to bounce back from their first loss since 2023 when they face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday during the Week 12 NFL schedule. Kansas City had its 15-game winning streak snapped in a loss to Buffalo last week, but Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and company are still 11-point road favorites against the Panthers in the Week 12 NFL odds. The Commanders are the other double-digit favorites in the NFL spreads this week, listed at -10.5 against the Cowboys. Dallas is on a five-game losing streak and is coming off a 34-10 loss to Houston at home last week.
There are plenty of close games expected in Week 12 as well, including a showdown between the Packers (-2.5) and 49ers on Sunday. Green Bay and San Francisco are two of the top five contenders to win the NFC in the NFL futures odds, so that could be a popular game to target with Week 12 NFL bets.

RJ White’s Top Week 12 NFL expert picks
White is a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushing anti-spread picks 643-543-34 on his 2017-23 ATS betting picks, which returned more than $4,600 to $100 players. He also went 101-84-4 (+1366) on all NFL spread picks last season. White is on another hot streak entering Week 12, going 17-8-1 in his last 26 NFL ATS picks.
He’s backing the Indianapolis Colts to cover the spread as 7.5-point home underdogs against the red-hot Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. White notes that Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is coming off his best game of the season, and this is the perfect time to knock off Detroit after it posted its third win of 38-plus points. He also supports the Under in another game where injuries threaten big. See the rest of White’s picks here.
Top Weeks 12 expert NFL picks by Larry Hartstein
A former lead writer for Covers and The Linemakers, Hartstein combines a vast network of Vegas sources with an analytical approach he honed while working for Pro Football Focus. He tied for 52nd place (out of 1,598 entries) in the 2022 Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, going 53-34-3 ATS. Hartstein’s weekly Vegas game picks form the basis of his NFL best bets column, which is 79-48-2 (62.2%, +25.95 units) since its inception in 2022.
Hartstein has already locked in his spread bet for Commanders vs. Cowboys on Sunday. Both teams hope to bounce back in this Week 12 NFC East battle, as Dallas has lost five straight games and Washington has lost two straight. It’s also an important game for Commanders head coach Dan Quinn, who was the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator from 2021-23. Hartstein identified one important positional matchup within this game that he says creates value on one side of the spread. You can see Hartstein’s pick for that game and others here.
Top Week 12 NFL expert picks by Jason La Canfora
La Canfora has been covering the NFL since 2004 and spent 10 years as CBS’ NFL Insider for “THE NFL TODAY” and across all platforms. He continues to cover the NFL as an analyst and insider for The Washington Post and gathers information from a multitude of sources throughout the game. La Canfora is 13-5 in his last 18 NFL picks and has already locked up picks for multiple games on Sunday.
One team that La Canfora is high on this weekend is Miami, who is a 7-point favorite against New England. The Dolphins have won seven of the last eight meetings in that rivalry, covering the spread in all eight matchups, so La Canfora is backing them to cover again this week. He also fades a team that has “no real home field advantage,” providing a lot of value. See all of La Canfora’s selections here.
Top Week 12 NFL expert picks by Jeff Hochman
Hochman appeared in sports betting in the 1990s. Today he is one of the nation’s most respected and eligible disabled people. Hochman dominates multiple sports. In fact, he is 45-25-2 (plus $2,343 for $100 players, each bet 1 unit) over the past two NFL seasons and 38-26 (plus $738) over the past two college football seasons. He enters Week 12 on a 13-8 run across his last 21 NFL picks.
The selective expert has already placed his bet for Sunday’s game between the Seahawks and Cardinals in the NFC West. Arizona went winless in its six games against division rivals last season, but is 3-1 in its last four games after a bye. Hochman’s model says that the spread is removed by several points in one direction, identifying a value that you need to capture before it’s too late. You can find all of Hochman’s selections here.
