It’s Thanksgiving weekend in the States, and that means football right throughout the weekend.
Three games on Thanksgiving (Friday in New Zealand), Chicago taking on the Eagles in Philly on Saturday, and then a full slate still on Monday.
Let’s roll.
Just like last week, this is a must-win game for the Chiefs, but the same goes for the Cowboys, who just knocked over the Eagles.
When push comes to shove, you know who’s going to step up and get the job done.
And it isn’t Dak Prescott…
Patrick Mahomes lugged his team over the line last week against the Colts with the help of their kicker, Harrison Butker, knocking over field goal after field goal. They struggled to get the ball in the endzone, but Mahomes was moving the ball up and down the field with ease.
Against this Cowboys defence, the Super Boost of Mahomes to throw for 275+ yards is looking like a great bet.
There’s a betcha boost I like the look of once again for this game.
CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens & Rashee Rice Each To Have 70+ Receiving Yards at $4.50.
In a game that looks like it could be a shootout, expect these three receivers to go off.
My Bets:
- Kansas City Chiefs -3.5 @ $1.95
- Patrick Mahomes to Have 275+ Passing Yards @ $2.50 (Super Boost)
- Betcha Boost: CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens & Rashee Rice Each To Have 70+ Receiving Yards @ $4.50
It’s the return of Joe Burrow!
Unfortunately for the Bengals, Joe doesn’t play defence and won’t be able to help in stopping Baltimore from piling the points on. What he can do, though, is return serve and help keep his side in this game.
Who knows what level Joe Burrow is at when he starts today, but he’ll be feeding Ja’Marr Chase, who returns from his suspension.
The Bengals are terrible at defending Tight Ends, and Mark Andrews could benefit from this. He’s been hit or miss all year. Mostly misses, but he does have four touchdowns in his last four.
My Bets:
- Ja’Marr Chase to Have 8+ Receptions @ $1.70
- Ja’Marr Chase to have 100+ Receiving Yards @ $2.00
- Mark Andrews Anytime Touchdown Scorer @ $2.20
The Black Friday game in the States sees the Bears, who have been on a heater, taking on the Eagles, who got beat by the Cowboys last week.
The Eagles didn’t just get beaten by the Cowboys; they choked BIG TIME!
Hurts has been coming under a lot of criticism about the loss, but he actually got into some decent rhythm on offence. He threw for 289 yards and a touchdown, completing 27 of 39 passes.
Now he faces the Bears, who rank 21st in the league in pass defence.
This benefits A.J. Brown, too, who finally saw some good production last week. He’ll get even more this week with DeVonta Smith, who is looking like he’ll sit out.
The second-year signal-caller for the Bears has had a good year, which has Chicago leading the NFC North. He’s been balling out, finding the endzone three times last week, three times against the Bengals and the Eagles just allowed Dak to throw to two TDs last week.
Back the former number one pick to throw at least two.
My Bets:
- Jalen Hurts Over 207.5 Passing Yards @ $1.88
- A.J. Brown to have 70+ Receiving Yards @ $2.20
- Caleb Williams 2+ Touchdown Passes @ $2.90
Sunday Night Football features the Commanders hosting the Broncos, who aim to extend their nine-game winning streak.
The Broncos had the bye last week, so their last win was a 22-19 victory over the Chiefs, while Washington fell 16-13 to the Dolphins.
Bo Nix has been the big reason for Denver’s success, throwing for 2,421 yards and 18 touchdowns with only eight interceptions. He’s thrown for 295 and 247 yards in his last two games. His line is only at 226.5 today. I’m backing him to torch this retirement home of a defence that the Commanders are running.
On that note, they are old and slow and RJ Harvey is quite the opposite of that.
I have him as my best touchdown scorer, and you’re $1.98 for a running back who’s going to get a lot, if not all of the work including the red zone work.
I’m all in on the Broncos today…
“It’s Broncos Country, let’s ride” – Russell Wilson.
My Bets:
- Broncos -6 @ $1.90
- Bo Nix Over 226.5 Passing Yards @ $1.88
- RJ Harvey Anytime Touchdown Scorer @ $1.98
Sophomore QB Drake Maye will host the rookie QB Jaxson Dart, who returns from concussion protocol for this week’s matchup.
Jaxson Dart is still $4.25 to score a touchdown, even though he has rushed for a score in seven straight starts. Yes, the Giants may be cautious when it comes to Dart, but the way this boy plays means he will do anything he needs to in order to get the ball into the endzone.
The Pats might be one of the best teams in the League, but when there’s a will, there’s a way, it seems for Dart.
Even with Winston leading the Giants while Dart was out, they were still competitive and only lost by one score in their last three games. The bookies are right on the money with the line, but I’m willing to take a punt on the Giants to keep this game in check.
Maye has been elite, and the Giants’ defence, I think, will struggle to contain the pass game on MNF. Maye has thrown for 250+ in his last five games and there’s a great chance he’ll do so again.
My Bets:
- Jaxson Dart Anytime Touchdown Scorer @ $4.25
- Giants +7.5 @ $1.85
- Drake Maye to Have 250+ Passing Yards @ $1.96
- Quinshon Judkins Anytime Touchdown @ $2.20
- Puka Nacua Anytime Touchdown @ $2.10
- Jonathan Taylor Anytime Touchdown @ $1.50
- RJ Harvey Anytime Touchdown @ $1.98
