Ravens vs Steelers Betting Lines
Moneyline: Ravens +185, Steelers -215
Point Spread: Steelers -4½
Total: 45
As many as 10 Ravens players/personnel have tested positive for COVID-19 recently, and a scheduling change has been made. The NFL has decided to move the Thanksgiving night matchup between Baltimore and Pittsburgh from Thursday night to Sunday afternoon. Many Steelers players, including WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, are not happy with the way the coronavirus has impacted their team, specifically.
First the NFL takes away our bye week because another team can’t get their Covid situation together, now they take away our Thanksgiving primetime game for the same reason. Smh.

Our online sports betting lives hang in the balance every time a sports team experiences an outbreak. NFL betting cannot be taken for granted during this pandemic, and we all need to capitalize on the opportunities presented. Each day is a gift, and tomorrow is never promised.
As of this writing, the NFL odds on our sportsbook show the Steelers as 4½-point home favorites. Pittsburgh is the only undefeated team remaining in the NFL, while Baltimore has lost three-out-of-four and is struggling. The Steelers are playing in an effort to earn home-field advantage for the playoffs, while the Ravens are barely alive.
Los Angeles Chargers vs Buffalo Bills

Chargers vs Bills Betting Lines
Moneyline: Chargers +205, Bills -245
Point Spread: Bills -5½
Total: 53½
The Chargers barely managed to beat the Jets 34-28 last week, and their playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. Expect that thread to be snipped against the Bills in Week 12. Buffalo has won three of its last four games, and is rounding into playoff form.
The Bills’ most recent game was a heartbreaking 32-30 loss to the Cardinals, but fate dealt them a cruel hand. Buffalo lost on a long Kyler Murray hail mary pass that was caught by WR DeAndre Hopkins in triple coverage. The Bills are well-rested following the bye week, and will come out vs the Chargers with a chip on their shoulder.
Los Angeles has a 1-4 road record this season, and is 0-5 as the underdog. In contrast, Buffalo is 4-1 at Ralph Wilson Stadium and 6-1 as a favorite. The Bills’ offense once again resembles the powerhouse it was earlier in the season, and the Chargers D is soft.
Miami Dolphins vs NY Jets
Sunday, Nov. 29 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS
Dolphins vs Jets Betting Lines
Moneyline: Dolphins -300, Jets +250
Point Spread: Dolphins -7
Total: 44½
The Dolphins are likely licking their chops ahead of this matchup with the Jets in MetLife Stadium. Miami tripped up in Denver last week, losing 20-13 after winning five in a row. These types of hiccups happen, but if the Dolphins lose to the winless Jets on Sunday there’s cause for concern.
The BetUS sportsbook is offering +150 on the Jets odds to finish 0-16, and it looks quite likely right now. NY showed up against L.A. last week, but doesn’t currently have the personnel to compete at a high level. The Dolphins shutout the Jets 24-0 back in mid-October, and are 5-0-1 ATS against them over their last six contests.
Tennessee Titans vs Indianapolis Colts
Sunday, Nov. 29 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS
Titans vs Colts Betting Lines
Moneyline: NA
Point Spread: Colts -3½
Total: 51½
Both the Colts and Titans stand at 7-3, and this AFC South collision is integral in determining the division champ. Indianapolis already beat Tennessee in Week 10, storming back to score 21 unanswered points and winning 34-17. A well-matched divisional road dog getting 3½ in this situation is extremely appealing, as the law of averages sucks us in.
The Colts and Titans each won overtime thrillers last week against powerful squads, against the Packers and Ravens, respectively. Tennessee RB Derrick Henry leads the league in rushing with 1,079 yards, and he’s tallied 103 yards vs Indianapolis already. Expect a heavy dose of Henry, and look for the receiving trio of A.J. Brown, Corey Davis, and Adam Humphries to make some noise.
Cleveland Browns vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Sunday, Nov. 29 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS
Browns vs Jaguars Betting Lines
Moneyline: NA
Point Spread: Browns -6½
Total: 48½
Cleveland squeaked out a 22-17 victory over Philadelphia last week, and has won three of its previous four. The Browns’ offense will finally get some decent weather this week, and should be able to unload on the Jaguars. Jacksonville will likely be playing without stud DE Josh Allen, and RBs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are scary enough.
Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield is in line for a productive day, jumping all over the prone Jacksonville defense. We should see the Browns return to the high-scoring madness we saw between Weeks 2-7, before the weather-affected Ohio games. Meanwhile, the Jaguars have lost nine straight games after upsetting the Colts in Week 1. QB Jake Luton was awful in the 27-3 beatdown Jacksonville took against Pittsburgh last week.
Luton completed less than half of his passes, going 16-of-37 for 151 yards and throwing four interceptions. Gardner Minshew may return this week, but no matter who is behind center, they have a steep mountain to climb. The Jaguars are pretty terrible overall.
