There are just seven more weeks remaining in the 2025 NFL regular season, and these division races are getting pretty tight. The Buffalo Bills, who fell to the Houston Texans on Thursday night, remain a couple of games back of the New England Patriots in the AFC East, the Baltimore Ravens are right on the heels of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North, and then it’s anyone’s race when it comes to the NFC North and NFC West.
This week, Patrick Mahomes and the 5-5 Kansas City Chiefs host Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts, the Dallas Cowboys welcome Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles to AT&T Stadium and the Los Angeles Rams play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Sunday Night Football.” It’s sure to be another wild week in the NFL.
Which teams should you pick in Week 12, and which should you fade? CBS Sports writers Jordan Dajani and Jared Dubin are here to break down the biggest games of the weekend. For clarity, lines for these selections were taken on Nov. 19, via FanDuel Sportsbook, where new users can get $300 in bonus bets:
Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears (-2.5)
Dajani (Bears -2.5): My Steelers colleague Bryan DeArdo was trying to make the case to me this week that Mason Rudolph should start over Aaron Rodgers for the remainder of the season. I’m not sure I agree with that, but Rodgers hasn’t played well in recent weeks and is now dealing with a small fracture in his wrist. The Bears aren’t legitimate contenders and couldn’t cover the spread last week, even with J.J. McCarthy missing virtually every throw. But I’ll take Chicago with the number under a field goal … Prediction: Bears 23, Steelers 17
Dubin (Bears -2.5): You’re not going to get me to pick Mason Rudolph on the road. And if it’s Aaron Rodgers playing with a broken wrist, I’m not sure you can get me to take that, either. … Prediction: Bears 24, Steelers 13
Dajani (Vikings +6.5): Which team do…
