We’ve made it to the best holiday of the year. I always harken back to the first Thanksgiving and all the wisdom Squanto shared with the white man. Everyone knows that he showed them how to grow crops and hunt and fish. What they won’t tell you is that Metacomet invented sports betting and today we have NFL games in his honor.

Packers +7.5 @ Lions (46.5)

The Lions had a rough game against the Bears, they will not be as unprepared for this game after that wake up call. Like a good host, Goff has covered the spread every Thanksgiving. On top of that he’s been the most profitable QB to back the past 5 years, 46-26 ATS. Expect the Lions to have a statement game against a bad Packers team.

Lions 31, Pack 10

Commies +12.5 @ Cowboys (48.5)

Has a team ever embodied Thanksgiving more than Washington? They feigned respect for Native American culture and then when things got hot tried to erase it from history. Also you only get about halfway through both Thanksgiving and a Washington football game before you’re drunk and falling asleep. Anyway, the Cowboys have covered 1 spread of their last 12 on Thanksgiving. I don’t care who they’re playing or what the spread is, you fade Dallas here. I believe Sammy Howell will get us a backdoor cover for Metacomet.

Dallas 23 , Washington 13

49ers -7 @ Seahawks (43)

We cap the night off with this game that I don’t know what to do with. It sounds like Geno is playing and the Niners seem to have picked up where they left off before Brock Purdy got his bell rung. For those reasons I took the over at 43. It has moved up a bit since but I’m just hoping for a good game I don’t really need to watch so I can focus on chasing my losses at the annual Thanksgiving poker game.
