NFL Week 12 early odds Two Thanksgiving

The best week of the NFL regular season is finally here and that's because this is the week the NFL will be giving us its annual buffet of football on Thanksgiving Day.Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET, we'll be getting a total of three games and since everyone will be watching football on Thursday, I thought it only made sense to start things off here with a few Thanksgiving betting trends.If you're thinking about laying down some money on the NFL to add a little bit of non-family drama to your Turkey Day, here are two Thanksgiving trends that might help you decide which way to bet.The first trend has to do with the fact that the favored team has been Andrew Ference Men Jersey dominating on Thanksgiving over the past four years. Since 2016, favored teams have gone 11-1 straight-up and 9-3 ATS. This year, the three favored teams are the , and . Two of those teams will definitely be testing the trend as Dallas has been the worst team in the NFL this year against the spread (2-8) while the Texans are tied for second-worst (3-7). On the other hand, the Steelers have been the NFL's best team against the spread (8-2).The other interesting trend has to do with the over/under. Since 2014, the under has hit in every primetime game played on Thanksgiving. That's six straight games where the under has hit (The under has actually hit in seven out of nine primetime games since the Thanksgiving night game was introduced in 2011). The primetime game this year is at Steelers which has an over/under of 46 points. This trend will also be put to the test and that's because these two teams have hit the over the past three times they've met.Alright, that's enough Turkey Day talk, let's get to the rest of this week's odds. Opening line: Texans -2.5Thanksgiving has been a disastrous holiday for the Lions over the past few years as they've lost three straight games on Turkey Day. The Lions are also just 3-9 straight-up in their past 12 games against AFC teams (6-6 ATS). As for the Texans, they're 2-8-1 ATS In their past 11 games against NFC teams. The Texans are also 3-7 ATS on the season, which is tied for the second-worst mark in the NFL. In five road games this season, they've gone Matt Benning Men Jersey 1-4 ATS.Opening line: Cowboys -2.5If there's one team you don't want to bet on in a Thanksgiving game, it's the Cowboys. Since the start of the 2011 season, the Cowboys are 1-8 ATS on Turkey Day (4-5 straight-up). However, that one cover did come against Washington back in 2018. The Cowboys have dominated this series in recent years, going 11-4 straight-up against Washington dating back to the start of the 2013 season. These two teams played back in Week 7 with Washington winning 25-3 as a one-point underdog. Including that game, the Cowboys are 2-8 ATS on the year, which is the worst mark in the NFL. Opening line: Steelers -3In the past 10 games where the Steelers have been favored by a field goal or more, they've gone 9-1 straight-up and 6-4 ATS. The Steelers are also 3-1 ATS in their past four games against the Ravens, including back in Week 8 when Pittsburgh covered as a 4-point underdog in a 28-24 win. As for the Ravens, they've been nearly unbeatable on the road, going 10-1 straight-up in their past 11 games (7-4 ATS). The Ravens are also 5-1 ATS since the start of the 2018 season in games where they're an underdog of three or more.Opening line: Raiders -1If there's one situation when you might want to stay away from the Falcons, it's when they're facing a team from the AFC. In their past 15 games against AFC teams, the Falcons are 3-12 straight up and an ugly 2-13 ATS. However, one of those three wins did come back in Week 9 against the when Atlanta covered as a 4.5-point favorite in a 34-27 win. As for the Raiders, they're 3-1 both straight-up and ATS In their past four games against NFC teams. One worrisome thing about the Raiders though is that this game is being Ryan Stanton Men Jersey played in the eastern time zone where the Raiders are 4-8 straight-up and 4-7-1 ATS since the start of the 2017 season.Opening line: Bills -5.5The road has not been kind to the Chargers this season as they've lost four straight away from Los Angeles. However, they have done a decent job of covering away from home, going 4-2-1 ATS in their past seven road games. The Chargers have also done a good job of covering in the eastern time zone, going 7-2 ATS since the start of the 2018 season (6-3 straight-up). As for the Bills, they've won 13 straight games when favored by five or more points, but they're just 8-5 ATS In those games. Opening line: Giants -4The Giants have somehow turned into one of the safest bets in the NFL over the past few weeks, going 6-1 ATS in their past seven games (3-4 straight-up). The Giants are also 8-0 ATS in their past eight road games (2-6 straight-up). As for the Bengals, they've covered in three straight home games, but one thing you'll want to keep in mind here is that they won't have , who was lost for the season after suffering a knee injury in Week 11. The Bengals also have a six-game winle s streak (0-5-1) against teams from the NFC, including a record of 0-1-1 against NFC East teams this season.Opening line: Colts -2.5The Colts have dominated this series for nearly a decade. Since the start of the 2012 season, the Colts are 14-3 straight-up against the Titans and 11-4-2 ATS, including their win over Kailer Yamamoto Jersey Tenne see in Week 10. As for the Titans, they're 6-1 straight-up in their past seven road games, but only one of those wins came when they were an underdog and that came on Sunday against the Ravens.Opening line: Vikings -4.5Although the Vikings lost to the Cowboys on Sunday, they've still been one of the safest bets in the NFL over the past few weeks, going 6-2 ATS In their past eight games. That being said, the Vikings are just 2-3 straight-up in the past five games where they were favored by four or more points, including Sunday's lo s to Dallas. As for the Panthers, they've been one of the best underdogs to bet on this year. Since Week 3, the Panthers have been a 'dog seven times and they've gone 6-1 ATS in those games (4-3 straight-up). Opening line: Cardinals -2.5The Patriots are an Drake Caggiula Men Jersey underdog in this game, which is notable, because they actually seem to do pretty well as an underdog. In their past 12 games as an underdog, the Patriots have gone 9-3 ATS and 8-4 straight-up. One other reason to like the Patriots is because they're 7-2 straight-up (6-3 ATS) in their past nine games against NFC teams. As for the Cardinals, they're 2-7 ATS and 3-6 straight-up in the past nine games where they've been favored.Opening line: Dolphins -7Although the Dolphins lost on Sunday, they've still been a solid team to bet on this season.
