NFL Week 12 Look-Ahead Lines and Betting Market Moves
NFL Week 12 Look-Ahead Lines Add Insight From Bookmaker
Here is a weekly article I provide for TheLines with some insight into the betting market moves and advance look-ahead lines for NFL games including NFL Week 12.
The Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas provides the advance look-ahead lines each week on Tuesday for the following weeks games, and the FanDuel Sportsbook in New Jersey has joined in to provide its advance look-ahead lines on Wednesdays. I provide some thoughts and insight on using those advance lines and not overreacting to recent results while also recognizing potential letdown situations and scheduling dynamics that can impact performance and the betting line.
The big news of Week 11 is the mess in Mexico and the poor field conditions that caused the NFL to move the much anticipated Monday night game between the Chiefs (9-1) and Rams (9-1) back to Los Angeles.
Bets had to be cancelled, voided, refunded, and the impact on the market and betting odds along with tickets, travel and preparation has become another disturbance and disorder while the residents of Los Angeles and surrounding California communities along with the Rams players and team deal with the disaster and devastation of the wild fires.
House rules from the South Point in Las Vegas state:
IF GAME SITE CHANGES OR DATE OF THE EVENT CHANGES, ALL BETS PLACED AT THE FIRST GAME SITE OR FIRST DATE OF THE EVENT HAVE NO ACTION AND WILL BE REFUNDED.
The Monday night game is expected to create its own fireworks with a record over/under of 63.5 points after a slight adjustment from the opening 64 when scheduled in Mexico City.
NFL Week 12 look-ahead betting lines
Thanksgiving week is always one of the most fun and festive weeks of the season, as families and friends enjoy their holiday time together while feasting on fantastic food and watching football. Expanded coverage includes three NFL games on Thanksgiving Day. Friday and Saturday is more football with some of the biggest college football rivalry games of the year and another big betting event on Friday, Nov. 23 when Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods play tee it up at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas in a winner-take-all $9 million 18-hole match play event. Unfortunately, it’s pay-per-view TV on Turner Sports, and more prop bets would enhance the betting and handle. Woods is a -210 favorite to beat Mickelson (+175).
More pro football follows on Sunday and Monday. The Week 12 NFL look ahead lines show some key games of interest with the three division games on Thanksgiving and the two prime time Sunday and Monday night division games for first place in the balance between the Bears and Vikings, and the Texans and Titans.
