Youmans: My 10 betting lessons from NFL Week 12

Mike White passed for 315 yards and three touchdowns in the Jets' 31-10 victory over the Chicago Bears. White has yet to win a playoff game. Zach Wilson was benched last week after a poor performance at New England.

Mike White played well in the Jets' 31-10 victory over the Chicago Bears. White has yet to win a playoff game. Zach Wilson is probably finished for the season. DraftKings sportsbook director Johnny Avello said Wilson has not proved anything yet in this league. Caesars sportsbooks placed wagers of $100,000 or more on the New York Jets at -7 and - 7.5. Nathan Peterman will start at quarterback for Bears against Trevor Siemian. The NFL's tight relationship with sports betting companies is something that should not be happening. It was no surprise that Justin Fields was scratched with a shoulder injury.

The biggest dogs of the day were the Houston Texans (+14 at Miami and Los Angeles Rams (+15.5 at Kansas City), both teams starting backup quarterbacks. The Texans lost 30-15 at halftime, while the Rams lost 26-10 to the sleepwalking Chiefs. DraftKings closed the Texans at +15 and the Los Rams at -16.

Andy Dalton was the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints in their 13-0 loss at San Francisco. The Saints are 4-8 and in the NFC South, which is the league's worst division. Dennis Allen should be fired as coach and the franchise needs a new quarterback.

Tampa Bay lost 23-17 overtime at Cleveland. Tom Brady passed for 246 yards and two touchdowns. The team lost a star offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs to a leg injury. Tampa Bay is 5-6 and will probably win 8-9 games to take the division title.

Jacoby Brissett's last start ended with a bang. Deshaun Watson is returning from an 11-game suspension for sexual misconduct allegations and will take over as the starting quarterback for the Browns. Watson did not look sharp in his brief preseason action. The Browns (4-7) are playing the hapless Texans (3-8).

The Broncos lost 23-10 to the Panthers. Denver is headed for double digits in losses. Russell Wilson's contract extension is an inescapable mess for the franchise's future. John Murray: The Broncos might be in the worst shape of any franchise in NFL right now.

Public favorites are good for bookmakers. Five teams drew 70% or more of the bets at DraftKings in Week 12 games. Four of those teams lost and all five failed to cover.

Brandon Staley's bold moves are not always wrong. Justin Herbert's touchdown pass pulled Los Angeles within 24-23 with 15 seconds left at Arizona. Stale opted for a two-point conversion and the Chargers won 25-24.

Josh McDaniels made the right decision to go for the two-point conversion instead of a two points. Derek Carr's touchdown pass to Foster Moreau with 1:54 to play kept Las Vegas alive. Josh Jacobs ran 86 yards for a touchdown in overtime to give the Raiders a 40-34 win over the Seahawks.

Green Bay lost 40-33 at Philadelphia on Sunday night. Aaron Rodgers had a broken thumb and ribs, but he wants to play this week at Chicago. DraftKings opened Green Bay as a 2.5-point favorite at the game.
