Brace yourselves, we could be in for a rough one this weekend. I don’t think anyone outside of the two fanbases will be paying much attention to the Week 12 matchup between the 2-8 Cleveland Browns and 2-8 Las Vegas Raiders, but there is a lot on the line when it comes to the 2026 NFL draft order. Also, every game counts in our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition!
Odds below are provided by FanDuel Sportsbook and are subject to change.
Raiders vs. Browns
- Spread: LV -3.5
- Total: 36.5
- LV ML: -215
- CLE ML: +180
Holder’s picks: LV -3.5, LV ML, under 36.5
Remember two years ago when the Raiders lost to the Vikings 3-0? We could easily be in for a very similar game, hence the under pick despite the low number. I have no idea how Las Vegas’ patchwork offensive line is going to even come close to stopping Myles Garret after watching last week’s pathetic performance. But maybe the defense can get a pick-six off of Shedeur Sanders in Sanders’ first NFL start to be the difference in the game. Also, this feels like a classic Raiders’ win when a good portion of the fanbase is rooting for the tank.
Pick’em Competition
Moving on to S&BP’s Pick’em competition, below is a look at how our writers finished in Week 11.
- Bill Williamson 114-49-1 (70%)
- Matt Holder 109-54-1 (67%)
- Ray Aspuria 105-58-1 (64%)
Bill is still cruising with a five-game lead, but Ray and I were able to pick up a game on him by going 12-3. The two of us are running out of time to catch him, though, as we will need an end-of-season collapse from Bill to give us a chance heading into the playoffs.

Week 11 Top Pickers
- C Wood for President 15-0
- TorinDorn4Life 13-2
First of all, a MAJOR shoutout to C Wood for President for having a perfect week! I believe that’s the first one we’ve ever had, or at least the first since I’ve been running the competition. Also, TorninDorn4Life had an impressive week by getting just two games wrong, and seven other people went 12-3. As for the community standings, EdgarEdm08 has pulled away with sole possession of first place. However, we still have five people within three games, so the crown is very much up for grabs.
Best of luck with your picks this week!
