NFL Thanksgiving Betting Trends
- Of all the teams that have played on Thanksgiving 25 times or more, the Cowboys have the best overall SU record (33-22-1).
- Dating back to the 2019 season, only two Thanksgiving games have finished below 40 total points, with the Bears vs. Lions and Bills vs. Saints both finishing below the threshold in 2021 (12-2).
- There’s been no shortage of impolite house guests on Thanksgiving as the away team has won 11 of the last 14 games played on Thanksgiving Day.
NFL Player Prop Trends
- Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has surpassed 56.5 receiving yards in back-to-back games. Facing a Lions defence that ranks in the bottom 10 of the NFL in passing yards allowed per game, the Over (-118) is an appealing look for Moore.
- Lions running back David Montgomery has scored a rushing touchdown in nine of his 11 games played this season. He is currently priced at -150 to hit paydirt against the Bears.
- Having finished seven of his 10 games played this season below 71 rushing yards, Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle is a prime candidate to bet the Under (-120) on the afternoon.
- In his lone start against the Cowboys, Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito threw for 86 yards in 2023 on 27 pass attempts. His passing yard total is currently set at 177.5 yards.
- Hitting his stride down the stretch of the season, Packers running back Josh Jacobs has averaged 96 rushing yards per game over his last five appearances. His rushing yard total is currently set at 74 yards
- Having looked superb over his last two starts, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has passed for Over 243 yards in back-to-back games. With the Packers likely to be without top corner Jaire Alexander, Tagovailoa is primed to exceed this mark once again.
NFL Thanksgiving Predictions
Bears vs. Lions
Primed to kick off the Thanksgiving festivities with a lopsided victory, look for the Detroit crowd to have a thrilling holiday as the Lions dominate the Bears from the opening kickoff to the final whistle.
Arguably the best team in football, the Lions have had no trouble pummelling inferior competition. Sporting the best margin of victory per game in the NFL (+16.1), the Lions show no mercy on the gridiron, running up the score and embarrassing their opponents in the process.
With the Bears continuing to struggle this season when it comes to consistent play, look for them to shrivel under the bright lights of this holiday showdown, resulting in a commanding victory for the Lions. Hammer the Lions to cover the 9.5-point spread as favourites and score your first win of the day with ease.
Detroit Lions to Cover -9.5
-9.5 (-118)
Giants vs. Cowboys
While it may not be the sexiest matchup on the Week 13 slate, let’s all just be thankful for some NFL action as we are drawing ever closer to the end of the regular season. Continuing their longstanding tradition as Thanksgiving hosts, the Cowboys will welcome the Giants to a low-scoring affair from AT&T Stadium.
With both sides having seen major shakeups within their depth charts in recent weeks, this clash could get sloppy fast. As the quarterback duel of Cooper Rush vs. Tommy DeVito sets the stage for a turbulent offensive showing from both sides, you can make the most of this by betting the Under on the Giants vs. Cowboys.
The current point total of 37.5 is simply too rich for our tastes, as both sides have still managed to combine for respectable point totals in recent weeks. Tease the line to 40.5 in this Thanksgiving clash and make the most out of a matchup that offers very little.
Giants vs. Cowboys Under 40.5 Points
Under 40.5 (-182)
Dolphins vs. Packers
Set to headline this year’s NFL Thanksgiving action, we’ve got a terrific clash between two teams riding win streaks as the Miami Dolphins head north to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers.
With the weather forecasts projecting a cold, snowy evening of football, look for this matchup to have all the fixings of an instant classic as the Dolphins and Packers go shot-for-shot in a high-scoring tilt. Neither side are strangers to big scoring performances, possessing two of the most explosive units in the NFL.
Watch as both offences feast on Thanksgiving, capping off the day with a much-needed palate cleanser, and earning you an sizeable payday with this point total pick.
Dolphins vs. Packers Over 46.5 Points
Over 46.5 (-118)
