NFL Week 12 Picks: Dallas Cowboys and More Thanksgiving Game Locks

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year because it involves good food, good football and great gambling lines.

What’s better than having a day dedicated to pigging out, watching pigskin and making your wallet fatter?

There aren’t many.

Let’s take a look at the three Turkey Day games and pick the winner against the spread for each.

Dallas Cowboys (-7) vs. Miami Dolphins

Dallas hasn’t been great by any means this season but they have been getting wins and doing what they need to do to keep themselves in playoff contention.

After the Giants lost this past week to the Eagles, Dallas has a chance to get a leg up with a win Thursday over the Dolphins.

Say what you will about Miami, but they have been overachieving like crazy to win three straight and that streak ends soon.

The Cowboys win this one big in Dallas.

Green Bay Packers (-6) at Detroit Lions

You’re really going to bet against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers giving less than a touchdown?

That would just be insane.

Green Bay is a vastly superior team to Detroit and has the experience, firepower and will to win this game by a handful of touchdowns.

Detroit will be a good team and challenging the Packers for NFC North dominance soon and for years to come, but they get schooled this week.

San Francisco 49ers (+3) at Baltimore Ravens

It’s a family affair in Baltimore with the Harbaugh brothers face off for the first time in their NFL careers.

Nothing says Thanksgiving like two brothers attempting to beat the crap out of each other on a national stage.

I have my money on Jim’s side here as the 49ers have yet to lose a game against the spread and are 9-1 on the season. Take this game on the moneyline for even more profit when San Francisco wins outright.
