NFL Gambling Degenerates, Rejoice! Here Are This Week’s Picks
This week's games have a unique flavor to them - Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. It promises to be an exciting day with several teams in crucial games that will determine their playoff fates. Below are my picks for the entire slate of matches.
Packers at Lions (-3)
The Lions have been inconsistent, but they possess the talent required to excel on offense. However, they've struggled against good defenses like the Chiefs and Vikings. The Packers' rush defense is among the best in the league, which could hinder the Lions' rushing attack. With Jordan Love potentially struggling with a shoulder injury, the Packers might benefit from Josh Jacobs returning. I'm betting on the Packers to win this game outright.
Chiefs at Cowboys (-3)
The Chiefs are on their way back after pulling off an unexpected victory against the Colts last week. The Cowboys, despite their poor defense, have shown resilience by clawing their way back from a 21-0 deficit in their last game. I believe Steve Spagnuolo's defensive strategy will help the Chiefs contain this explosive but mistake-prone Cowboys offense. The Chiefs are my pick to win.
Bengals at Ravens (-7)
The Steelers were previously 4-1 after Week 6, with the Ravens being 1-5, yet it still felt inevitable that they would eventually catch up. The Ravens have been on a roll and now sit level in the division with the Steelers. Joe Burrow's return for the Bengals won't make a difference as the Ravens are well-positioned to win this game.
Bears at Eagles (-7)
The Bears' defense has struggled, but their offense is well-equipped to compete against the Eagles. Ben Johnson's scheming and Caleb Williams' improvement have made the Bears a formidable opponent. However, I believe the Eagles have more talent on both sides of the ball, which could give them an edge in this matchup.
Survivor Picks
I won't be picking any teams that play on Thanksgiving or Black Friday since they've already been used. My only pick is for the Chargers who will struggle against the 49ers.

, especially with Josh Jacobs returning and potentially boosting their rushing game. But gotta say, I'm more hyped for the Chiefs vs Cowboys (-3) matchup, that's gonna be a high-scoring one! 
Ravens are looking strong, but it'll be tough for Joe Burrow to make an impact right off the bat 
. And what's up with the Bears offense being so underrated? They're due for a breakout performance against those Eagles 
I'm a bit skeptical about these picks, to be honest. The Packers seem like an easy choice with their strong rush defense, but if Jordan Love's shoulder injury is a real concern, it could impact their performance. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are looking good after that crazy comeback last week, but their offense can be super unpredictable... 
I'm not sure about putting my money on them just yet. What do you guys think? 
And don't even get me started on the Chiefs' defense - they're still kinda weak against explosive offenses 
How do you guys think Spagnuolo's gonna contain Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense? 
. Don't know about the Bengals vs Ravens though, think Joe Burrow brings some life to that team 
. The Chargers vs 49ers is looking like a total blowout, lol what was the O/U on that one? 
I'm so down for these picks! The Packers are gonna crush it at the Lions, and Josh Jacobs coming back from injury might be just what they need to take them over the hump 
.
.
, especially when it comes to betting lines. Like, a -3 point spread between the Packers and Lions? That's not even close 
. The teams with better defenses are getting ridiculous points given to them. And don't even get me started on the Chiefs-Cowboys game - I'd be surprised if the Cowboys can keep up with KC's offense 
. On a side note, who comes up with these betting lines and how do they not just take into account team performance? 
. I think it's interesting to analyze the defensive strengths of teams like the Packers and how they might impact their opponents' rushing attacks. The Chiefs' defense seems well-equipped to contain the Cowboys' explosive offense, but their own ability to finish drives will be crucial in determining the outcome.
