Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions | NFL on Thanksgiving Day

NFL Thanksgiving Odds: Detroit -7.5
Thursday, November 23rd, 2023 at 12:30 pm EST | FOX
Ford Field, Detroit, MI

The Packers are a disaster. Although Jordan Love and the Pack started the season well by winning two of their first three games, since then, it’s been a mess.

Green Bay has lost 5-of-6. The Packers lone win during the stretch came against the L.A. Rams at Lambeau.

Heading into Thanksgiving, Detroit is one of the best teams in the NFL. The Lions beat the Chargers in their last and face the Bears in NFL Week 11. No doubt, the Lions will be revved up to dominate one of their top foes.

Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys | NFL on Thanksgiving Day

NFL Thanksgiving Odds: Dallas -9.5
Thursday, November 23rd, 2023 at 4:30 pm EST | CBS/Paramount +
AT&T Stadium, Arlington, TX

Washington versus Dallas is one of the great rivalries in all of sports. D.C. always gives it their all versus the Boys.

This season, even if Washington gives their all, they won’t cover the 9.5 spread. Dallas is a legit Super Bowl contender. The Cowboys are playing lights out and even had a shot to upset the Philadelphia Eagles in Philly a few games ago.

Dak Prescott has thrown for 2,415 yards and 17 touchdowns to 6 interceptions. Dak is having a good season. The defense is rocking and the Boys get to warm up for the Commanders by beating up the Panthers on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks | NFL on Thanksgiving Day

NFL Thanksgiving Odds: San Francisco -4.5
Thursday, November 23rd, 2023 at 8:20 pm EST | NBC/Peacock
Lumen Field, Seattle, WA

All the 49ers required to end their three-game losing streak was to get back Deebo Samuel and left tackle Trent Williams. In their NFL Week 11 game against Jacksonville, the Niners decimated the top turnover causing defense in the league by producing 34 points.

Trevor Lawrence and his buds scored 3. The win came on the road. This Sunday, SF dumps on Tampa in Santa Clara before taking the trip up the Pacific Coast Highway to battle Geno Smith and the Seahawks. Seattle is a quality team, but San Franciso is elite.

Miami Dolphins -6.5 at New York Jets | Black Friday Game

NFL Thanksgiving Odds: Miami -6.5
Friday, November 24th, 2023 at 3:00 pm EST | Prime Video
MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ

The game happens in New York, which should give the Jets an edge to at least cover the spread. However, this is a bad matchup for the J-E-T-S defense.

The Jets are great at stopping the pass, ranking third, but rank an awful thirty-first against the rush when allowing over 138 ground yards per games

Miami averages 287.4 passing yards and 147.9 rushing yards per. If you try and beat Tua, Mike McDaniel will call rush plays. If you bring up a safety to stop the run, Tua will burn you with throws to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Oh, and Jalen Ramsey is healthy. So Zach Wilson and the Jets offense are in trouble.

Early Preview of the Games:
2023 NFL Thanksgiving Games Betting Predictions

The 2023 National Football League season will be here before you know it. It is time to analyze the schedule and start looking ahead at potential places to get some great bets in Week 12 of the season.

After you’ve done the Thursday Night, Sunday Night, and Monday Night Football games, why not go to the three Thanksgiving Games? Here is a look at the Thanksgiving Games in the NFL and gives an early preview and betting on the three NFL Matchups.

Here’s a quick look at each matchup and projected NFL odds – obviously, what happens between now and then could change them.

 

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Thursday, November 23, 2023 at 12:30 pm EST
Ford Field | Detroit, MI

This is not the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers anymore. Now, it’s Jordan Love’s team. The offense for the Packers has a ton of question marks.

There are mixed reviews on how well the Packers will do this season. Detroit is one of the teams that would like to make the Packers’ lives miserable since Rodgers left. This will be an interesting game, and the Lions could come into the game as small favorites.

Look for Detroit to take care of the football, pound it on the ground and make Love beat them. If we were betting right now, we would take the Detroit Lions to win this game at home to start the day.

 

Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys

Thursday, November 23, 2023 at 4:30 pm EST
AT&T Stadium | Arlington, TX

Another Thanksgiving Day staple is the Dallas Cowboys at home—America’s Team. Dak Prescott is confident he is going to have a great season as the signal caller of the Cowboys. If Dak does have a great season, this team could potentially be the team to beat in the NFC.

The NFC is open outside of Philadelphia, but many realize how hard it is to repeat such a great season that the Eagles had. In this one, though, look for Dallas to get after the Washington quarterback.

 

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks

Thursday, November 23, 2023 at 8:20 pm EST
Lumen Field | Seattle, WA

The final game of the night, and the folks in Seattle are going to be plenty ready for this one. The 49ers are the favorites out of the NFC West, but can Seattle make a run at them?

These should be the top two teams in the division, with the Rams and Cardinals to follow. 

The 49ers are loaded on the offensive side but have some quarterback questions. Seattle is trying to build their defensive approach back up to make opposing quarterbacks miserable.

A loud environment and a hungry Seattle team could make for a really good game. Will we see Brock Purdy, and will his 2023 be as solid as his 2022?

Or will Trey Lance finally break out and take over the job behind center. This could be as close to a pick them in Las Vegas as we see all year. This is going to be the best game of the day!

Those three games should make for a pretty fun and exciting Thanksgiving Day in the National Football League. Best of luck with all your National Football League bets, and enjoy the season!
