NFL Picks Week 12: Everything You Need to Know About the Thanksgiving Schedule

Here's a look at the all information you need to know from the NFL Thanksgiving games along with a few predictions (sure to make you money). 

Game 1

Who: Green Bay (-7) at Detroit Lions

When: 12:30 PM ET 

TV: Fox

Preview

The Packers are clearly the best team in the NFL right now. They come into this one at 10-0.

Still, this is the first time in a while the Lions have been relevant on Thanksgiving; they still have a chance at the NFC North if they manage to knock off the Pack.

Green Bay has been susceptible through the air this year and Matthew Stafford, who threw five TDs last week, should be able to move the ball with ease.

Then again, Green Bay has gotten involved in many shootouts this year. Aaron Rodgers is just too good to get outscored and that will likely be the case yet again.

Prediction: Packers 38, Lions 30

Game 2

Who: Miami Dolphins (+7) at Dallas Cowboys

When: 4:15 PM ET

TV: CBS

Preview

The Dolphins have been one of the league's hottest teams; they come into this one with a three-game winning streak.

However, Matt Moore is still the quarterback and it's unlikely Miami will be able to keep up with Dallas' prolific offense. 

The Dolphins defense should be able to slow down Tony Romo and the Dallas offense, but not enough for a win.

Prediction: Dolphins 17, Cowboys 30

Game 3

Who: San Francisco 49ers (+3) at Baltimore Ravens

When: 8:20 PM ET

TV: NFL Network

Preview

It's the battle of the brothers as head coaches Jim and John Harbaugh go up against each other.

San Francisco has been the story of the year in 2011; Jim Harbaugh has led the Niners to an impressive 9-1 record.

The Ravens play a similar rely-on-the-defense type of game as the 49ers and this should be a good one. Baltimore has been inconsistent but always seems to bring it both at home (5-0) and during big games.

I like Baltimore during this Thanksgiving brother-fest. 

Prediction: 49ers 16, Ravens 21
