NFL Week 12 Picks: Thanksgiving Day Locks to Make Holiday Even Better

No more bye weeks. Turkey. Football with playoff ramifications.

Can you believe it's already Thanksgiving?

Just a few week ago it seemed like our fantasy teams were destined for greatness and picks were locked in.

Eleven weeks later, the NFL has flipped us upside down.

But that doesn't mean we wont enjoy the holiday.

Here are some Thanksgiving Day locks on the gridiron.

Packers at Lions, over 55.5

Sometimes when two dominant scoring teams get together there runs the risk of the defenses ratcheting up and slowing things down. Instead of a shootout we see a 17-10 decision.

But this isn't any ordinary shootout. Not when Aaron Rodgers is involved.

The reigning Super Bowl MVP is on pace to tie Tom Brady's single-season touchdown record (50) and go undefeated in the regular season.

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's 25 passing touchdowns are second in the league to Rodgers' 31. 

The Packers defense is good, but they do give up yards and can give up points, but it doesn't matter what the Lions defense does because Rodgers is going to score points.

These two teams have combined to hit the over 14 of 20 times this season, and count on this one to be heading over.

Dolphins (+7) at Cowboys

The Cowboys are riding a three-game winning streak, but they're only 1-2 against the spread during that stretch.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins are riding a three-game winning streak as well and have covered the spread in each of their last four weeks.

Matt Moore is playing good football while Tony Romo and the Cowboys continue to do just enough to get by.

Don't surprised if the Dolphins, who've outscored opponents 86-20 in their last three wins, give the Cowboys a run for their money.

Not only will they cover, but they could win this game.

49ers (+3) at Ravens

San Francisco is 9-1 on the season and 9-0-1 against the spread.

And the 49ers are getting points at the up-and-down Ravens?

Only the New York Giants are more perplexing than the Baltimore Ravens.

Stick with the rock-steady 49ers as they continue their surprising season. They've gotten to the point where you can't bet against them until they finally lose.
