Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Chicago Bears
The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. While the Steelers have lost three of their last four, they’re facing a Bengals team that has lost four of its previous five. The Bengals have shown no defense all season long, which should help Pittsburgh escape at home.
On the other hand, the Chicago Bears have a rivalry game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears continue to find ways to win. They feel like last year’s Washington Commanders. But ultimately, Chicago is still a 3.5-point underdog on the road.
If the Steelers win and the Bears lose, you might see the Steelers as favorites ahead of this Week 12 matchup.
Pick: Steelers Moneyline (+105)
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals most recently lost 44-22 to the Seattle Seahawks. They’ve also lost four of their last five games, while allowing at least 27 points in each of their previous three losses. This week, they’ll take on the San Francisco 49ers, a divisional rival currently 6-4. If the Cardinals lose at home to the 49ers behind Jacoby Brissett, bettors will lose all hope in the Cardinals.
Brissett is undoubtedly not the answer at quarterback.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars have the Chargers at home. Jacksonville is 5-4 and will play in a winnable game. As long as the Jaguars keep the game close, they’ll likely be the favorites when game time arrives if the Cardinals lose by multiple scores to the 49ers, as expected.
Ultimately, Jacksonville began the season red-hot. The defense was tremendous, and the offense did enough. But lately, that hasn’t been the case. The Jaguars have struggled to score against good defenses. That said, the Cardinals have not been a top-tier defense. The Jaguars added Jakobi Meyers, looking to help the offense perform better. Meyers should be a major factor moving forward as he gets more acclimated. This would be his third game back.
With that said, let’s roll with the Jaguars on the Moneyline. They could be favorites by the time this game closes.
Pick: Jaguars Moneyline (+105)
