NFL Week 12 - Best Teams to Bet the UNDER
by Mike Rose

NFL point spreads have been tightening up throughout the league, but BetUS.com's NFL handicapping experts keep you in the know with this week's NFL power rankings for 'unders'...
1: Denver Broncos (8-2) (LW: 1) HC Josh McDaniels probably doesn't want to see his team on this list this week after allowing 32 points to the Chargers. Denver's offense looks lost right now, as it only scored three points and really mustered nothing impressive in its biggest game of the season. The 'O' better figure it out in hurry, or the Broncos will quickly be a distant memory in the AFC playoff picture.
Up Next: Home vs. Giants (42)
2: Oakland Raiders (7-3) (LW: 2) Is QB Bruce Gradkowski really going to play the role of "Bruce Almighty" in Oakland? No, the Raiders aren't playoff bound, but they showed a pulse last week by knocking off the Bengals. If Oakland's defense keeps up this type of play, the 'unders' should keep on coming in.
Up Next: Away @ Cowboys (40)
3: Houston Texans (7-3) (LW: 4) Score another victory for 'under' bettors in a Texans game, but once again, it took a second half struggle to keep it that way. Houston had a number of chances to stick points on the board against Tennessee in the second half, but it never really found traction which caused its offensive flow to stray. Things need to get kicked in gear in a hurry if the Texans are making the second season.
Up Next: Home vs. Colts (48)
4: Buffalo Bills (6-4) (LW: 5) The Bills played incredibly hard in their first game after the firing of HC Dick Jauron, but in the end, the defense gave up the game-winning touchdown after having plenty of chances to stop the Jags. With QB Ryan Fitzpatrick calling the shots, there shouldn't be much in the way of points to go around in Buffalo, which should create a lot of 'under' chances in the future.
Up Next: Home vs. Dolphins (40)
5: Washington Redskins (6-4) (LW: 6) For the second straight week, the Redskins played a truly fantastic defensive game. Don't blame the 'D' for the fact that the offense only mustered six points for the entire game. Holding QB Tony Romo and the Boys to just one touchdown in "Big D" is quite the impressive task.
Up Next: Away @ Eagles (40.5)
6: Cleveland Browns (6-4) (LW: 3) Where the heck has this offense been lately? Cleveland scored more points on Sunday (37) than they had in their previous six games combined (29). Oh wait, the Browns were playing Detroit... and they still lost... Imagine what an angry Cincy team could do to this defense next week!
Up Next: Away @ Bengals (39)
7: Arizona Cardinals (6-4) (LW: 7) All it took was both starting quarterbacks to get hurt to give Cards bettors another 'under' game. The status of QB Kurt Warner is up in the air, and after the fantastic scoreless second half that QB Matt Leinart successfully put on the board, that has to make 'under' bettors smile for future weeks.
Up Next: Away @ Titans (OTB)
8: Chicago Bears (6-4) (LW: 8) Dear Jay Cutler: Don't get too comfortable as a starting quarterback. For the second straight game, the Bears were down by four points going into the final drive of the game, for the second straight game, Cutler missed an opportunity to connect on what would've been the game winning touchdown, and for the second straight game, his INT sealed the deal. 'Under' bettors rejoice.
Up Next: Away @ Vikings (46.5)
