Some bettors will prefer to make Week 12 NFL picks on small spreads, while others will prefer larger lines with their Week 12 NFL bets. Fortunately, this week's slate will accommodate both groups with four games with NFL spreads of a field goal or less, as well as three matchups with a line of more than 10 points. The former consists of Bears vs. Steelers (+2.5), Cardinals vs. Jaguars (-2.5) and Falcons vs. Saints (-2), while the latter has Lions vs. Giants (+12.5), Seahawks vs. Titans (+12.5) and Ravens vs. Jets (+13.5). The NFL line for Jets vs. Ravens has held steady since it was announced that Tyrod Taylor will start in place of Justin Fields.
All other games fall in between these two extremes, with Colts vs. Chiefs being of high interest. Coming off a bye, Indy is a 3.5-point underdog to a 5-5 Kansas City team, per the latest Week 12 NFL odds. Another contest pitting potential playoff teams versus one another has the Rams as 6.5-point home favorites over the Bucs on Sunday night.

The slate concludes with 49ers vs. Panthers on Monday night, as Christian McCaffrey faces his former team for the first time. San Francisco is at -7.5 to utilize in Week 12 NFL predictions, as the Panthers have defeated the Niners in six of their last eight regular season matchups.
