Fairway’s Football Forecast – Thanksgiving And NFL Week 12 Underdog Picks And Preview

Another winning week and three more outright underdog winners in Week 11 runs the ‘Dog log to 19-8 ATS with 15 outright winners this season. The past five seasons posting underdogs only on these pages is now 121-87 ATS (58.2%) with 63 outright underdog winners. On to NFL Week 12 underdog picks and preview with our first slight favorite of the season (2 points or less at home).

There have been a handful of times where we include a short home favorite of 2-points or less with line moves or noting that those teams are priced like an underdog at home without homefield edge. We’re betting on Washington (-1) to get a win on Monday Night Football.

More positive comments and chip-ins from supporters, who get these winners each week for free from a proven pro with a documented history of winning.

“I’m sure there are people who consider me too conservative, but you’ve got to be careful and you’ve got to be smart. We’re trying to win games 14-13 or 16-13.” – Lions head coach Dan Campbell after Detroit lost to Cleveland last week 13-10. A bonehead unsportsmanlike penalty (calling out a players mother) to start the fourth quarter proved costly in defeat.

The Lions (-26.9 points) and Bears (-26.7 points) are 32nd and 31st in the league in expected points added via their passing offense this season.
