The NFL Redzone witching hour of the year! The double-digit dogs from Carolina took it to the Chiefs, scoring a late touchdown and two-point conversion just to watch it slip away to another Patrick Mahomes game-winning drive. The Bears mounted an absurd comeback against the league’s top defense to force overtime, which included one of three successful onside kicks all season. Don’t worry; the Vikings still won but failed to cover our -3.5. Lastly, there was the absolute chaos that was the 41 fourth-quarter points scored in the Commanders/Cowboys faceoff. The Commanders' special teams gave up two special teams touchdowns in the last three minutes alone, including an onside kick returned for a touchdown.

As for my bets, the 41 fourth-quarter points weren’t enough for the Commanders’ team total over. It was frustrating that the Vikings managed not to cover another game where they seemingly had it in the bag from the second quarter on. But that’s just the way it goes sometimes. We ended Week 12 by going 2-3 for -3.34 units. Now we get Thanksgiving week with no teams on byes.
