With more than half the season over, the NFL betting lines are getting very interesting as teams vie for a playoff spot. The surprises so far this season have defied the odds while the disappointments continue to find ways to lose. Let’s take a look at some of the price per head bookmaking upsets for week 12 in the NFL.

Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets

With the Tebowing that the Jets got in week 11, Rex Ryan and his crew are sure to have redemption on their minds. But the Jets showed in week 11 that it does not take much to neutralize its offense. The Jets’ defense is still a tough nut to crack, but if the offense isn’t scoring points then what s the difference? The Broncos have one of the worst defensive units in the league. It is right down there with the Bills’ defense. That is why you can expect this to be one of the surprising NFL scores of the week.

Pick: Buffalo Bills

Chicago Bears @ Oakland Raiders

Even if the Raiders do not have Darren McFadden back, this will still be a game that Oakland should win. The players that Oakland has running the ball now are doing a great job at picking up the slack McFadden is leaving behind. But McFadden may be back, and quarterback Carson Palmer is getting more acclimated with the Oakland offense. The Bears are on a major winning streak right now, but the Oakland defense will shut down that Bears’ running game and give the Oakland offense a chance to bring this one him in Al’s memory.

Pick: Oakland Raiders
