Thanksgiving Special: NFL Week 13 Point Spread Picks

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! PLACE YOUR BETS!!! Hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us, but here we go. There is nothing like Turkey Day football to get the betting juices moving. Having secured back-to-back weeks of just over 64% winners, the bank account is feeling sound once again with winnings.

The three games on Turkey Day showcase a couple good matchups that should bring with it a high level of entertainment. With that said, we must remain vigilant in our process to nail all three contests. It seems Vegas has placed sound odds on most week 13 contests which should be conducive to winning even more. Let’s start the week on a positive note and collect on all three. Happy Thanksgiving and good luck.

NFL WEEK 13 – Predictions (Projected odds makers @ Nov.27.2019 – 12:00PM EST) 

Thursday Nov.28 (Thanksgiving)

Chicago (Favorite) @ Detroit

Caesars -3

Westgate -3

Unibet -2.5

SportSelect -2.5

In our eyes it appears Vegas has gifted us with a lower more attainable spread with Detroit possibly missing their backup (now starter) Jeff Driskel at quarterback. Early reports suggest a sore hamstring which could preclude him from playing in this contest. If that is indeed the case, the rumor is an undrafted rookie will take the reins.

While the Lions will be supremely shorthanded if Driskel doesn’t suit up, the Bears are too dealing with their own level of inadequacy. The offense remains an issue and will require a massive change to improve their chances at reaching the postseason. Rookie David Montgomery needs to be much better and we feel this could be the game he gets on track. Mitchell Trubisky has shown some level of improvement over the past couple weeks doing enough to gain victories. Nevertheless, this Bears defense will be ready no matter who is at quarterback. This spread looks like an early Christmas gift.

ADF: CHI covers the spread @ -3 CHI 24 DET 20 (W)

This is the contest we are extremely excited to view as the 8-3 Buffalo Bills take travel to Dallas to face off against the Cowboys. While the Bills have played very sound football this season, this is a giant test to see if they actually belong or if they’re just pretending. Josh Allen will need to be near perfect in his overall game to not give up points due to turnovers. The Bills defense has proven to be the strength of this club and should give Dak Prescott a run for his money.

The Cowboys on the other hand have underachieved so far this season and the blame could be placed on poor coaching over execution. The reason we say this is that the usage of Zeke Elliott has again been tapered off for no good reason. Granted, Prescott has thrown the ball very well and sits atop the NFL rankings in statistics, establishing the run should be the plan in this one first and foremost. Both teams have the ability to strike quick, but that advantage goes to the Cowboys greatly over the Bills. This one should be a lot closer than the line indicates with the Bills possibly pulling the upset.

ADF: DAL doesn’t cover the spread @ -6.5 BUF 26 DAL 15 (W)

@SojashPicks: DAL doesn’t cover the spread @ -6.5 BUF 26 DAL 15 (W)

New Orleans (Favorite) @ Atlanta

Caesars -7

Westgate -7

Unibet -6.5

SportSelect -6.5

With the final matchup on the Thanksgiving slate, we get a rematch of two teams who met a couple weeks prior. With Drew Brees returning to action in that previous contest, the Falcons took advantage with a fantastic game plan which upset the Saints and shocked the viewing public. Now with this contest being played in Atlanta, what should we expect?

While New Orleans has clearly gotten back on track, there still is something missing from their overall output. Alvin Kamara isn’t running with the same vigor as seen in the past. Needless to say, the Saints still remain the cream of the crop in the NFC and should dissect the tape from this last contest between the two. 

The Falcons on the other hand have played sound defense in two of the last three games resorting back to old habits last week. Vegas is clearly banking on that game to set the stage for this one. While this spread did trip us up, we must go with Drew Brees to prove that first meeting was a fluke.

ADF: NO covers the spread @ -6.5 NO 26 ATL 18 (W)

@SojashPicks: NO covers the spread @ -6.5 NO 26 ATL 18 (W)

ADF Thanksgiving Record: 3-0 (.1000)
@SojashPicks Thanksgiving Record: 3-0 (.1000)
