Broncos vs. Raiders, Cardinals vs. Seahawks predictions: NFL Week 12 odds, picks

Sports betting writer Dylan Svoboda joins The Post’s NFL Bettor’s Guide for his first season. 

Arizona Cardinals (-1) over SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Sportsbooks might be overreacting to the Seahawks’ surprising win over the 49ers last week here.

The Cardinals are 6-4, but their losses have come against some of the NFL’s best.

Kyler Murray has a ton of weapons on the offensive side of the ball, but their defense has quietly emerged as a strength of late, allowing fewer than 10 points in the past two games, albeit against the Bears and Jets. 

Their wins are nothing to sneeze at, either — taking down the 49ers, Chargers, Dolphins and Rams.

Before last week, the Seahawks were headed the wrong way, losing five of their previous six.

Bet on them to get back on that downward spiral in this divisional battle.

Denver Broncos (-6) over LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

The Raiders are a god-awful mess.

Coming off a bye week, they dropped their sixth straight game last week, a 34-19 loss to the Dolphins, in what has become a nightmare season for Antonio Pierce’s squad.

Las Vegas is 29th in DVOA, with a bottom-five ranking on the offensive and defensive ends. 

The Broncos, on the other hand, are looking like a bona fide playoff team.


Betting on the NFL?


They are up to 20th in offensive DVOA with one of the best defenses and special teams units in the league.

Last week, Denver blew out the Falcons behind a monster, four-touchdown game from Bo Nix.

The Broncos already took care of the Raiders earlier this season, winning 34-18 at home, and generally have had an easy time with the NFL’s worst teams with double-digit wins over the Saints and Panthers as well. 

Last week: 0-2. 49ers (L), Bengals (L)
Season: 1-5.
