NFL Week 12 expert picks against the spread – Doc’s locks
Doc Brown continues to post strong totals on the season. Last week, Doc went 9-5 against the spread and also hit the lock to bring that season total to 14-4 (78%). You can’t miss with that. Hopefully you’ve been riding strong with Doc’s locks.
Doc’s picks for Week 12 against the spread and straight up are below. Take a look.
(ATS = Against the Spread, SU = Straight Up)
Doc locked in the Rams this week and figured since it’s only a 4.5 point spread, why not take them straight u? The logic behind the pick is pretty simple. The Chargers’ offense has been dreadful lately. They can’t run the ball and their passing hasn’t been much better. We just learned that the reason they can’t pass is because Philip Rivers is seriously hurt. That makes sense, because his dropoff did not make any sense otherwise. The Rams have a pretty solid defense and good line that can get to the quarterback, so we envision San Diego’s offense struggling. Doc also thinks Shaun Hill is a pretty decent quarterback and reliable. Maybe Tre Mason will have another strong game. Either way, Doc just does not see the Chargers winning big.
Other picks of note: 9.5 points for the Vikings at home seems like a lot in a divisional game. The Packers have been so hot it might be time for them to cool off for a game. Lastly, it was hard to go against the Cardinals. They are 9-1 this year and 8-2 against the spread. They have been a picker’s best friend. Whether it’s by defense or special teams, they always seem to make the key plays at the right time. We’re not going against them.
