NFL Referee Assignments Week 12: Refs Assigned for Each NFL Game This Week

What are the Week 12 NFL referee assignments for this week, and what are the tendencies of the refs' crews in charge of prime-time games?

For the first time since Week 5, we have a full 16-game slate of NFL referee assignments, with no teams on a bye for Thanksgiving week. Let’s take a look at which NFL refs and their crews are assigned to which games and inspect what we might see from the crews in the two prime-time games.

NFL Referee Assignments for Week 12

With three games already in the books on Thursday, the remaining 13 NFL ref assignments for Week 12 are listed below. Ahead of the season, each referee was assigned a crew from the NFL’s officiating roster . To see which officials have been assigned to work with each ref, use our handy guide to the 2022 officiating crews .

• Denver Broncos at Carolina Panthers | 1 p.m. Clay Martin
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cleveland Browns | 1 p.m. Tra Blake
• Baltimore Ravens at Jacksonville Jaguars | 1 p.m. Land Clark
• Houston Texans at Miami Dolphins | 1 p.m. Jerome Boger
• Chicago Bears at New York Jets | 1 p.m. John Hussey
• Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans | 1 p.m. Carl Cheffers
• Atlanta Falcons at Washington Commanders | 1:05 p.m. Brad Rogers
• Los Angeles Chargers at Arizona Cardinals | 4:05 p.m. Ron Torbert
• Las Vegas Raiders at Seattle Seahawks | 4:25 p.m. Brad Allen
• Los Angeles Rams at Kansas City Chiefs | 4:25 p.m. Adrian Hill
• New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers | 4:25 p.m. Shawn Hochuli
• Green Bay Packers at Philadelphia Eagles | 8:20 p.m. Shawn Smith

Monday Night Football Referee Assignment

Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts | 8:15 p.m. Bill Vinovich

What Can We Expect From the Prime-Time NFL Officiating Crews in Week 12?

We could see two reasonably free-flowing prime-time games this week. The crews of Shawn Smith and Bill Vinovich rank in the bottom five when it comes to penalties this year.

Smith’s crew has averaged 11.6 penalties per game. Interestingly, that is only 0.28 penalties per game below average for all crews this year, but it’s fifth-lowest of the 17 crews in the NFL’s rotation. Smith’s crew also averages 2.2 flags per game that are dismissed so far this season.

Another thing to watch is the home/road balance of Smith’s crew on Sunday Night Football. They average 1.6 more penalties against road teams than home teams. That is the second-largest discrepancy in the league entering Week 12.

MORE: NFL Week 12 Picks and Predictions

In terms of individual penalties, Smith’s crew is not notable for significantly calling penalties above league average. This crew is largely balanced in how they call games. However, unsportsmanlike conduct penalties are something they are second in the league in calling, averaging one every two and a half games.

As for Vinovich’s crew on Monday Night Football, they average the fewest flags and penalties per game among the 17 crews. Their 8.1 penalties per game rate is 1.3 per game below the next lowest. Meanwhile, they average 10.5 flags per game, with 2.4 dismissed on average per week.

As you would expect, Vinovich’s crew does not rank high in terms of any individual penalties. However, one penalty they call the fewest of any crew is defensive pass interference (DPI). This crew likes to let the players play it out, with just four DPI penalties through 10 games.

It’s worth noting they have actually thrown six flags for DPI — two were declined. Additionally, it is interesting they have three of their four DPI penalties against the home team, with just one on the road team.

Week 12 NFL Referee Report: Betting Trends & Stats

Every single week we have profitable angles cashing as far as betting trends for a few NFL referees. I have highlighted this over the last several weeks. This week I thought I would highlight a few referees who have a streak going.

As always make sure to check the referee assignments that are correlated with a betting side or total. I will remind you DO NOT forget about Shawn Hochuli, Alex Kemp, Ron Torbert, and Clay Martin trends!

Let’s dive into these streaks and see below the Week 12 NFL Referee Assignments.

Week 12 NFL Referee Report: Betting Trends & Stats

Carl cheffers.

Road underdogs are cashing at an exponential rate in the games officiated by Carl Cheffers . In fact, over the last eight weeks, road underdogs are 7-1 against the spread. Furthermore, the Over is 5-1 in games officiated by Cheffers. Those six games are averaging 57.5 points per game including the Sunday Night Football shootout between the Steelers and Chargers where both teams combined for 78 points.

Land Clark is an NFL referee I have highlighted over the season. However, over the last five weeks of the season, Clark officiated games are 4-1 to the Under. In fact, in those five the average combined total points is 32.5. Furthermore, since the league has cracked down on taunting calls this season, Land Clark’s crew has called seven taunting penalties thus far this season. The next closest crew have called no more than three.

Since the NFL has doubled down on taunting this season, it's good to note that one crew (Land Clark's) has called seven taunting penalties this season, no other crew has called more than three, and three crews have called none. Nice consistency, guys. — Doug Farrar ✍ (@NFL_DougFarrar) November 21, 2021

NFL Referee Stats

Tony Corrente

Oh good ol’ Tony Corrente! I am shocked he is still being allowed to officiate games and is still an NFL referee. But are we surprised? In Week 11, Corrente officiated the Texans’ upset win over the Titans in Nashville. Additionally, over the last five games, road underdogs are a perfect 5-0 against the spread. Case in point, the Texans, YES THE TEXANS winning outright as a double-digit underdog.

John Hussey

If your hometown team is in desperate need of a win for the sake of getting a win or need to make a playoff push, John Hussey is the man so far. Home teams are a perfect 7-0 straight up over the last seven weeks of the season. Furthermore, home favorites are 4-0 in that span in games officiated by Hussey. Perhaps the Lions should request Hussey to officiate a home game for them? Make sure to check below for Week 12 NFL referee assignments!

Shawn Smith

Over the last eight games officiated by Shawn Smith , the Under is 7-1 with an average total final score of 39.1! Additionally, road underdogs are 4-1 in Smith officiated games. Check out the Week 12 NFL Referee Assignments below!

Referee brad allen assigned to saints-falcons matchup in week 12, share this article.

Here’s your Week 12 referee assignment: veteran referee Brad Allen and his crew will officiate the New Orleans Saints’ upcoming road game with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Saints are 5-3 in games with Allen at referee, while the Falcons are 5-6, dating back to his debut in 2014.

Allen’s crew is known for letting the teams play; they’re averaging the second-fewest penalty flags per game this season (10.6), with an emphasis on offensive holding fouls (16 in 9 games) and false start infractions (15), as well as defensive pass interference (9). But on the whole they’ve stayed off of cameras and let the two teams play ball.

And that’s good news for the Saints, who are averaging the fourth-most penalty yards per game (59.2) this season. The Falcons are averaging 49.3 penalty yards each week, which is close to the league average. The New Orleans defense is yielding more yards by penalty (33) than any other defense around the league, so they’ll need to watch their hands and play a clean game on Sunday.

NFL referee assignments Week 12: Who are the officials for every game this week?

As always, the goal for NFL officials who are assigned to NFL games in Week 12 of the 2019 season is for observers not to care who's assigned to what game. If nobody's talking about the officiating, that generally means those calling the games are doing a good job.

Of course, in 2019, chatter around NFL officiating has been as loud as ever, leaving referees to explain questionable calls made by their crews after most games. With the addition of pass interference to the NFL's replay review system this year, senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron's performance is also under the microscope.

Each week, the NFL announces its referee assignments for its slate of games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday. Each referee is tied to his crew of six other officials, including the umpire, line judge, side judge, back judge, field judge and down judge.

NFL Referee Assignment for Week 2 & Impact on NFL Betting

We tend to only focus on NFL referees after a controversial decision or bad no-call. Yet, each head NFL referee and his respective crew interprets the game differently.

Gaining insight into the way a game will be officiated can have immense value in the betting market.

A referee who calls more penalties for defensive holding and roughing the passer has a far different impact on game flow than a ref who focuses more on offensive holding and false starts.

Referee style one week may hide a team’s weakness (defensive backs), but a different official who leans heavily on calling pass interference will compound that weakness the next week.

Same team. Different outcomes.

Throughout this 2024 NFL season, we’ll help to identify important trends and tendencies by different NFL referees to help you gain an edge when placing a bet .

The list of the 17 crews and swing officials for the 2023 NFL season.

Football Zebras exclusive

Football Zebras has obtained the officiating crew rosters for the 2023 NFL season. This season, there are 12 new officials to replace 12 that retired or quit or were otherwise not retained . There are also 2 veterans designated as swing officials, both at the umpire position, who will move between crews through the season.

There is also a new referee this season, Alan Eck , who becomes the 9th new referee in the past 6 years. He is replacing 19-year veteran referee Jerome Boger, who retired during the offseason . Boger’s crew was disbanded, and Eck does not have any of those officials on his crew this season.

Crew members are listed with their years of NFL experience, including the upcoming season, the crew they were on last season, the college attended, and occupation. A replay official and replay assistant are assigned to each crew.
