While Rex Ryan is proving he can dish it out, but can’t take it in anticipation for Monday night’s game between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots, Vegas has published their early advanced ‘look ahead’ lines for NFL week 12. On Thursday the Westgate in Las Vegas listed the Pats as 5½ point road favorites for next Sunday night’s game against the Broncos at Mile High in Denver. This week the Broncos are in Chicago to face the 4-5 Bears.
Surprisingly the largest spread for the week involves another home ‘dog, with Arizona listed as 8-point favorites at San Francisco. On the other end of the spectrum are two pick ’ems: undefeated Carolina at 2-win Dallas in the middle of the three Thanksgiving Day games, and an NFC East rivalry game on Sunday between the Giants and Washington. Here is a look at all of the early betting lines for week twelve:

For the sake of comparison, here are the future prop betting lines that were available last April after the 2015 NFL schedule was first announced. Notice the free fall for the Niners (delta of ten points), Broncos (eight points), Colts (six points), Dolphins (5½ points), Lions (five points) and Cowboys (4½ points). One surprise is that the line for the Ravens, despite their massive underachievement this year, has shifted a mere half point.
Panthers at Cowboys (-4½)
Eagles at Lions (-2)
Bears at Packers (-7½)
Vikings at Falcons (-1½)
Cardinals at 49ers (-2)
Steelers at Seahawks (-5½)
Saints at Texans (-2)
Buccaneers at Colts (-9½)
Chargers (-4½) at Jaguars
Raiders at Titans (-2)
Patriots at Broncos (-2½)
Bills at Chiefs (-2½)
Dolphins (-1½) at Jets
Rams at Bengals (-2½)
Giants (-1) at Redskins
Ravens (-3) at Browns
Happy 44th birthday to Joey Galloway. Too bad that he was way past his prime (38 years old) when the Patriots signed him, though it is questionable whether or not he would have ever fit in and figured out New England’s offensive scheme at any age. Galloway finished his career with 10,950 receiving yards; when he retired that ranked as 25th most in NFL history.
