2019 NFL Week 12 Picks Against The Spread

Resources - Use Them Wisely

Amazingly close to what actually went down... way back on May 17, 2019, CG Technology posted opening betting spreads on weeks 1-16.  
Weekly "advance" lines from the Westgate can be found here and here, and weekly look ahead's from Fairway Jay.


For excellent insight, we recommend referring to Case Keefer at the Las Vegas Sun, Jamey Eisenberg at CBS, and the Miami Herald's Greg Cote, as from our experience they might just know a little sumpin, sumpin.
