There are only five weeks left before the expanded NFL playoffs get underway.
Time is running out for teams to get into the playoff field. With the expanded playoffs, I expect the race for the playoffs will come down until the final week of the regular season.
This week is Thanksgiving Day on Thursday, so there are three games on Thursday.

NFL Week 11 Betting Recap
This past week, underdogs were profitable again against the spread (8-6 ATS).
Six underdogs ended up winning straight-up. Betting underdogs has been great this season. That trend should continue this week, but it’s all about picking the correct underdogs.
Six games went over the total, while eight games remained under the total. Unders were dominating early on this week, but the final four games on the NFL schedule all ended up going over the total.
No teams have a bye this week, so there’s going to be a full 16 game schedule.

Joe Burrow is out for the season, which is why the Bengals line has moved so much. We’ve seen quite a few favorites slowly trending up as well, which means you should wait on betting most dogs.
The public will continue hammering the favorites like Seattle, Pittsburgh, Dallas and Las Vegas, so if you’re thinking of targeting the dog in those games, you’re best off waiting until Sunday.

NFL Week 12 Point Spread That Stand Out
I’m jumping on the Texans at -2.5 before the hook gets added to this point spread.
Miami should crush the Jets and I’m not holding out for -6.5 when this spread could easily move up to -7.5 before kick-off. If the Colts drop to a FG favorite, I’ll jump on them at home as well.
