Week 12 brings a genuinely juicy set of matchups with division implications everywhere you look. The NFC North takes center stage at Lambeau, the Eagles and Cowboys renew one of the league’s most heated rivalries in a game that could swing the NFC East, and the Rams look to protect their playoff positioning against a feisty Buccaneers squad that refuses to go quietly. With the postseason picture tightening, every drive will matter this week.
NFL Week 12 Monday Betting Tips
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers
5.00am (AEDT)
Green Bay return to Lambeau in solid form after stabilising their season with a couple of composed wins. Jordan Love has grown noticeably more confident in the structure of the offence, and the Packers run game has finally started to complement the passing attack. Defensively, they have been sharper against the pass, generating turnover chances and doing enough in the red zone to keep opponents uncomfortable. At home, in cold late November conditions, they are always a tougher outfit.
Minnesota enter this matchup below five hundred and on a two game losing skid, struggling to recapture the rhythm they showed earlier in the year. JJ McCarthy has battled through tougher defensive looks and the offence has stalled at key moments, particularly on third down. The run game has not been able to consistently carry the load and the defence has given up several long scoring drives in recent weeks, putting added pressure on a young quarterback still settling into the league. They have shown effort, but momentum is clearly working against them.
Prediction: This shapes as a close, tense divisional game where field position and patience matter, but current form leans toward Green Bay. With the Packers steadier offensively and Lambeau providing a clear home edge, I like Green Bay to win a close contest but I think this line is a few points too big at 6.5.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys
8.25am (AEDT)
Dallas return home badly needing a statement performance and finally have the environment to produce one. Their offence at AT&T Stadium always feels more explosive and Dak Prescott has historically played some of his best football against Philadelphia. The Cowboys defence has been inconsistent, but their pass rush at home tends to ramp up and if they can generate heat early, they will stay in control of the game script.
Philadelphia continue to sit among the NFCs elite, combining physicality at the line of scrimmage with sharp situational football. Their red zone efficiency has been among the best in the league and Jalen Hurts is managing games with a maturity that keeps the Eagles in every matchup. Defensively, they are still capable of overwhelming teams with pressure and timely turnovers, and their depth has carried them through the tougher stretches of the season.
Prediction: This has all the makings of a heavyweight showdown, but I lean Eagles 27 to 24. Dallas will come out firing and should have stretches where they control the tempo, but the Eagles superior consistency in key moments and their late game decision making give them the narrow edge in a rivalry that rarely disappoints.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Los Angeles Rams
12.20pm (AEDT)
Los Angeles enter Week 12 with legitimate NFC contender credentials. Matthew Stafford’s command of the offence has been outstanding and the Rams balance between explosive passing and disciplined run schemes makes them one of the toughest matchups in the conference. Their defence has bent at times but rarely breaks, especially at home where the pass rush seems to find another gear.
Tampa Bay arrive as a scrappy, unpredictable side capable of giving top teams more trouble than expected. Their defence has been physical and opportunistic, keeping them in games even when the offence stalls. Baker Mayfield has shown enough willingness to push the ball downfield to spark momentum, but sustaining drives against elite defences remains their biggest hurdle.
Prediction: The Buccaneers will land a few shots, but Los Angeles look too polished and too well coached to let this slip, especially at home. I like the Rams 28 to 17, pulling away in the second half as their offensive depth and Stafford’s poise prove too much for Tampa Bay to match for four full quarters.
