Overall: 100-67 Spread: 29-20-1
Lions 21, Bears 17 --- UNDER 47.5 My usual Thanksgiving tradition is taking the Lions no matter what the spread is. The line is Lions -7 and I'm not too sure what to make of either team at the moment. The Lions have lost two in a row, while the Bears have won two straight. Last year the Lions won their first thanksgiving game in nine years by defeating the Aaron Rodger-less Packers 40-10. I'll take the Lions to win because they are the better team I think but give me the under. The Lions haven't scored a touchdown in two games and their defense, despite getting roughed up by the Patriots, is solid. The Bears on the other hand have been awful on defense this season and the offense hasn't been outstanding. I'll take my chances on this being a low scoring affair.
Cowboys 27, Eagles 21 --- DAL -3 Remember the last time Nacho Sanchez played on Thanksgiving? If you forgot there was this little play called the "Butt Fumble". Since Mark took over for Nick Foles, the Eagles are 2-1, both of their wins came at home, with the loss coming on the road to the Packers. I think that trend continues. The Cowboys are only 3-3 at home this year but they've been good on Thanksgiving recently, having won 6 of 8. I'll take them to win and get to nine wins on the season.
49ers 24, Seahawks 21 --- SF -1 I just don't like the Seahawks. Once every year I just realize that I dislike them a lot. That happened last Sunday after they beat the Cardinals and ruined a few parley's I had going. The Niners have not been too impressive recently barely beating the Giants and the Redskins but they got those wins to get to 7-4. I'll take the Niners at home because I think these two teams will spilt their season series so I'll take the home team. Also I think the Seahawks win over the Cardinals used a lot of emotion, while the Niners were more in a trap game situation.
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who reads this. I really appreciate it.
