NFL Week 12 Picks: Dallas Cowboys Land in Favorable Thanksgiving Day Spot

The Dallas Cowboys (6-4) will host the surging Miami Dolphins (3-7) Thursday afternoon inside Cowboys Stadium as bettors will find that they fall into a favorable spot.

Oddsmakers have established the Cowboys as a seven-point favorite and the total stands at 44 across the board.

Bettors are going to back "America's Team" in droves, as the franchise is 10-0 against the spread on Thanksgiving Day when playing an opponent that comes in with a losing record.

Quarterback Tony Romo will also add to their confidence in heading toward the betting window, coming into Week 12 with an 18-2 record in November while having thrown 49 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions.

Dallas should enter as a motivated football team due to being tied atop the NFC East division with the New York Giants, as those two combatants will face each other twice in the final four weeks.

Miami has won three consecutive games since starting the season with an 0-7 record, but none of those victories came versus a high-quality opponent.

Bookmakers certainly aren't in the business to lose money and could have easily sent out the Cowboys as nine-point favorites in this holiday affair, attracting plenty of action on that particular side. That is a reason to be concerned in laying the inviting number.

One thing is certain—not many people will be carving up the turkey and rooting on the Dolphins outside of South Beach.

Bettor beware.
