Yahoo Sports NFL betting: Packers and Cowboys fail to cover but still top Week 12 ATS rankings
Week 11 was a great week to have your money riding on visitors. Eleven road teams made Willie Nelson proud by covering and providing some green for bettors. One of those teams — the Baltimore Ravens — even helped a BetMGM customer turn a $50 parlay ticket into more than $1 million.
Here's an ATS rankings breakdown for all 32 teams heading into Week 12:
1. Green Bay Packers 9-2 against the spread (have covered by +9.5 points)
Aaron Rodgers is dealing with a toe injury that's expected to hamper him for the remainder of the season. Good thing he has no shortage of medical advice.
Week 12: (-1) vs. Los Angeles Rams
2. Dallas Cowboys 8-2 (+62)
Dallas posted season-lows in total yards (276) and points (9) against the Chiefs. They'll be without Amari Cooper and likely sans CeeDee Lamb versus Las Vegas.
Week 12: (-7.5) vs. Las Vegas Raiders
3. Arizona Cardinals 8-3 (+77.5)
Kliff Kingsbury won two out of three games with Colt McCoy starting and should get Kyler Murray back after the bye.

The red-hot Patriots have won and covered five in a row, dropping their odds to win the Super Bowl all the way down to +1200.

5. Indianapolis Colts 7-4 (+62)
Jonathan Taylor is a runaway train, headed downhill, with rocket boosters engaged.

Has a No. 1 seed ever had less of a chance of winning the Super Bowl?

It was a real throwback week in Buffalo, as we got to see the old Josh Allen and the old Bills run defense.
Week 12: (-5.5) at New Orleans Saints
8. Minnesota Vikings 6-4 (+11.5)
Justin Jefferson has 17 catches for 312 yards over the last two weeks. He's only in his second year, but he's already one of the top five receivers in the NFL.

They've run for more than 215 yards in three of their last four games.

None of their final seven opponents have a losing record.
Week 12: (-4.5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
11. New Orleans Saints 5-5 (+24)

Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon get a Chargers defense giving up a league-worst 145.1 rushing yards per game.

The Bucs have yet to cover on the road this season.
