4* Free Week 12 NFL Betting Prediction: Patriots ATS
Even though the Vikings are coming off an awful performance against the Cowboys, they are still favored to come away with the win on Thanksgiving. On the other side, New England pulled out a big but sloppy win over the Jets.
It will be interesting to see if Minnesota will be able to shore up their protection for Kirk Cousins, as he was under pressure all day vs Dallas. They will be once again put to the test vs a New England front 7 ranked 2nd in QB sack percentage.
Even though the New England offense is nothing special, I expect them to be able to muster enough production to keep this game close. I see the best bet for this game is to take the points with New England.
