NFL Week 12 betting tips & odds – Thanksgiving & Black Friday

The NFL returns in Week 12 with its annual slate of three games for Thanksgiving, and this year the league has added a Black Friday game to the schedule. With the Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins, and San Francisco 49ers in action, each matchup promises to be highly entertaining. Here are our free NFL betting tips for each game.

Detroit Lions v Green Bay Packers

Friday, November 24 – 4:30am AEDT – Ford Field

Although the Packers have historically dominated the Lions in this longstanding divisional rivalry, this time it might be different. While Detroit are favoured to go 9-2, they’ve only covered the spread once in their last four games, mainly due to defensive struggles. Green Bay’s offence may not be the most potent, but they should manage to score and keep the game within the spread.

Dallas Cowboys v Washington Commanders

Friday, November 24 – 8:30am AEDT – AT&T Stadium

Brandin Cooks, a veteran wide receiver in his first year with Dallas, has gradually carved out a valuable role after a slow start. With three touchdowns in his last five games, he has become a trusted weapon for Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Facing the league’s worst passing defense, Dallas should dominate. At +175 with top NFL bookmakers, Cooks holds favourable odds to contribute a touchdown.

Seattle Seahawks v San Francisco 49ers

Friday, November 24 – 12:20pm AEDT – Lumen Field

After overcoming a three-game losing streak, the San Francisco 49ers have been dominant in their recent two wins. Despite Seattle’s inconsistency, they are expected to perform well in this home game. The Niners’ strong defence can be exploited through the air, and with Seattle’s solid passing attack and a 4-1 home record, they are poised to cover the spread.

New York Jets v Miami Dolphins

Saturday, November 25 – 7am AEDT – Metlife Stadium

While the Dolphins should secure the win in the NFL’s first-ever Black Friday game, their leaky defence might give the Jets’ struggling offence opportunities to score. Additionally, the Jets boast a solid defence that could limit Miami’s offensive prowess. As this is a must-win home game for the Jets, they hold all the value. Expect an ugly affair that could be closer than the NFL betting odds at Neds suggest.
