In a battle of wills on Thanksgiving Day, the Green Bay Packers are set to face off against the Detroit Lions in a crucial matchup. The Lions, led by Jahmyr Gibbs, who had a breakout performance against the Giants last week, have struggled to contain the Packers' potent running game. Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson should make it difficult for the Lions' defense, setting the tone and controlling the clock.
As a result, our pick is that the Packers will come out on top with a score of 23-16, taking advantage of the Lions' weakness in this area. The Packers +2½ odds are a good bet, as they're expected to establish the rhythm and dictate the pace of the game.
In another Thanksgiving Day showdown, the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Dallas Cowboys. Despite their impressive record since 2020, the Chiefs have struggled in Big D, where the Cowboys play, having lost their last five games in the city. However, history is on the side of the Chiefs, who have a winning streak of 26-6 against NFC opponents.
But we're siding with our analysis that playing in "Big D" can be treacherous for teams not familiar with it, and we think the Cowboys will capitalize on this advantage. Our pick is Cowboys +3½ to take down the Chiefs 28-10.
The final matchup of Thanksgiving Day pits the struggling Cincinnati Bengals against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have been on a tear since Lamar Jackson's return from injury, going 4-0 in his last four starts. Meanwhile, the Bengals have shown signs of improvement but still lack the depth and talent to compete with top-tier teams.
Given this, our pick is that the Ravens will take care of business at home, winning 20-14. The Bengals +7 odds are a good bet, as they'll struggle to keep up with the high-powered offense of Lamar Jackson and the rest of the Ravens' potent attack.

gotta be excited for some big matchups! I'm feeling the Packers might have an edge over the Lions, especially with Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson 
Josh's speed could really hurt the Lions' defense. 
that's a tough one for me! History is on the Chiefs side but I think playing in "Big D" can be super tricky, especially if they're not familiar with it 
. I'm gonna have to go with my gut here and say the Cowboys might take this one by 2 points 
.
Lamar Jackson is on fire right now! The Ravens' offense is too strong, especially since they're all gelled since his return. I'm gonna put my money on the Ravens to take it home 20-14 
what's interesting is how teams perform in hostile environments, maybe the lions can make it a close one?
, and I'm all about those underdogs (Packers +2½) who are gonna give it their all 
- playing in Big D can be super daunting for teams, especially if they're not familiar with the energy and crowd 
. And can't wait to see Lamar Jackson and the Ravens bring home the W against those Bengals 
. 23-16, 28-10, and 20-14 are all gonna make for some thrilling finishes 
! Seriously though, I think the Packers are gonna smash 'em 24-6 and then Josh Jacobs will be like "Uh, where's my tryptophan? 
" On the other side, I'm putting money on the Cowboys to take down the Chiefs. I mean, who needs a running clock when you've got Dak Prescott leading the charge 
? And don't count out the Bengals just yet – they might just wing it and surprise everyone! 
! I've been following these teams all season and it's gonna be epic. Packers vs Lions is shapin up to be a real nail-biter, but I think the Packers are gonna come out on top 
! The Chiefs have been dominatin all season but playin in Big D seems to be their kryptonite 
. I'm all about the Cowboys +3½ bet - they're gonna take it to 'em and show 'em who's boss.
! Lamar Jackson is UNSTOPPABLE 
, and the Ravens' offense is just too much for the Bengals to handle. I'm goin all in on that 20-14 Ravens win 
️. Bring it on, Thanksgiving Day!
Jahmyr Gibbs had a good game last week, but Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson are on another level 
. Plus, Aaron Rodgers is always clutch when it matters most 
. The underdog pick of the day is definitely Dallas +3½ 
. Cincinnati +7 is a good bet if you ask me 
. Can't we just have some decent font choices and spacing for once?! 
The only team I think has a shot at winning today is the Lions, not because they're gonna blow the Packers out of the water (although that'd be awesome), but more like they'll manage to keep it under 20 points 
. Can we please just make them a little easier to read? 
. And the Bengals? Forget about it 
and it's so hard to use lol i mean idk what all those numbers on the screen mean can someone explain that to me? 
. I mean, I love Josh Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson but those guys can't make up for the lackluster defense they have. And don't even get me started on Jahmyr Gibbs... 
. 
we saw some incredible geysers and hot springs, it was like nature's own wonderland! And you know what's crazy? The amount of food we ate on that trip... I'm talking like 10+ pounds of cheeseburgers per person 
. The Bengals don't stand a chance against them, especially at home. Here's a little diagram to show you what I'm thinking:
.
. Overall, this day is gonna be packed with exciting games!
