NFL Week 12 Thanksgiving game picks

Week 12 is here and it presents to us a threesome of Thanksgiving day games to test. counting a possible banger between the 49ers and Seahawks. Peruse on for our picks and expectations.

Week 12 is here, and with it comes the yearly custom of Thanksgiving football. This year highlights three Thanksgiving day games to test: Packers versus Lions around early afternoon, Officers at Cowpokes in the early evening, and 49ers at Seahawks at night. While a couple of these have pretty wide spreads, it's really a really respectable record of divisional matchups — some of which could end up being nearer than anticipated.

We should get right to the present picks, which I'll make on a straight moneyline (otherwise known as picking the victor) premise. I'll in any case give the data on the spread and over/under, for those intrigued. At the base, I'll show the other staff's picks for the game.

Thanksgiving noon: Green Bay Packers (4-6) at Detroit Lions (8-2)

The yearly Lions Thanksgiving game really leans toward the Lions overwhelmingly this year. Wild stuff! Detroit is honestly one of the strong competitors in the NFC, following just the Falcons in the standings. In the mean time, the Packers have been one of the most frustrating groups in the NFL. While Detroit endure a panic against the Bears last week, I think the put everything in order against their opponents.
