Bengals vs. Jets Free Pick
The NFL action on Thanksgiving Day will conclude with a playoff rematch from 2009, as the New York Jets host the Cincinnati Bengals at 8:20PM ET on the NFL Network.
According to NFL odds, oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com have made the Jets a 9-point favorite over the Bengals in Week 12. The over/under total for this game is currently 43.5 points.
The Bengals enter Thursday night’s game with the Jets with a 2-8 record. Per latest NFL trends, they’re 3-7 against the spread, which includes a 2-3 record on the road. They’re also 1-4 overall away from Cincinnati in 2010.
After several close calls over the past three weeks, the Jets are 8-2 overall and 6-4 against the number. They’re 3-2 at home this year but have failed to cover in three of those five games at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
NFL Week 12 Free Pick:
The Bengals are a mess. They either fail to show up at the start of the game and spot their opponent a double-digit lead, or they leave at halftime and allow their opponent to crush them in the second half (which is what happened last Sunday against the Bills). The Jets, on the other hand, continue to find ways to win. Mark Sanchez looks like a completely different quarterback than he did at the start of the year and while he still makes mistakes at costly times, he seems to make up for them late in the fourth quarter. He also has found a great new weapon in Santonio Holmes, who has been fantastic the past couple of weeks.
Our pick is the Jets. The favorite if 4-1 against the spread in the last five meetings between these two teams and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The Bengals are just 1-4 against the number in the last five meetings and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 versus the AFC.
