Plenty of potential playoff previews this week
It’s Thanksgiving week, and the NFL playoff push is in full effect.
Of course, we have the three-game Turkey Day slate to kick off Week 12, an admittedly uninspired trio of games featuring six teams who all lost in Week 11. Fun.
However, that actually gives way to a pretty entertaining Sunday gauntlet featuring a massive matchup for AFC playoff positioning (Patriots-Titans), an interconference tilt that should tell us a lot about two puzzling teams (Bucs-Colts) and a potential NFC Championship Game preview (Rams-Packers).
Here are the early-week lines and totals for Week 12, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
