Football point spread: Denver at Chicago, Raiders vs. Chiefs We continue our point spread and football game preview of the Week 12 match-ups with some good numbers for the punters. On Sunday the Denver Broncos (5-5) will play the Chicago Bears (4-6) to continue the fight for the AFC West leadership. The Broncos are tied with the Chargers for the No.1 spot, meanwhile the Bears are tied with the Vikings at the bottom of the NFC North with little chance to raise a bid for the playoffs. But at the online bookmaker Bodog Sports, the point spread on the Denver Broncos vs. Chicago Bears game is favoring the Bears -1 point. Keep pin mind that this spread is expected to change, likely to "pick", by Sunday.

Injuries will likely play the major role in the game, still questionable for the Broncos are running backs Paul Smith, Travis Henry and Selvin Young, as well as wide receiver Javon Walker. This could change the outcome of the game and give the Bears the much needed edge offensively to win the game. In Chicago questionable for the game against the Broncos are DT Tommie Harris, CB Trumaine McBride and RB Jason McKie, while wide receiver Bernard Berrian was upgraded to probable. Betting trends show that Chicago is 0-5 against the spread in its last 5 games at home and Denver is 2-6 against the spread in its last 8 games on the road.

The Week 12 football game between the Oakland Raiders (2-8) and the Kansas City Chiefs (4-6) is much more predictable. No one remembers when was the last time the Raiders were favorite this season and they certainly won't be this weekend. At Bodog Sports the point spread on the Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs is currently sitting at -6 points chalk the Chiefs with expected total of 34.5 points. The Raiders will be underdog at the odds section as well, listed with money line of +200 and the Chiefs are odds favorite at -240. When the last time these two football teams met this season, the Chiefs won the game 12-10 on the road, and since nothing has changed for each one during the season, at home Kansas City should have no problem covering the -6 points spread in this AFC West battle. Consider that Oakland is 1-5 against the spread in its last 6 games and Kansas City is 2-5-1 against the spread in its last 8 games when playing at home against Oakland
