Jamaal Williams First TD (+850)
Out of all the bets this is the riskiest I’ll tell you to take. I’m a huge fan of anytime TD bets and refrain from first TD bets but it’s Thanksgiving. What kind of betting platform would be without a Lions first TD??? The Lions offense has 0 problem moving the ball and the Bills the last few weeks have showed they are not that dominant defense they once were. If the Lions recieve the ball first and any player would score a TD, why wouldn’t it be the league leader in rushing scores? Nice friendly bet to start of the football festivities.
Josh Allen over 42.5 rushing yards (-105)
We talked on our podcast Tuesday night about the Josh Allen worry meter. While I am less panicky as some, I feel a rushing bet from Allen is in order. The Lions defense has been awful all around to QBs, allowing multiple QBs to take advantage of them. They have been abused against running QBs, allowing the most rushing yards and rushing TDs on the season to QBs. Daniel Jones last week had 50, Fields the week prior broke the fucking QB single game rushing record and even the week before that Aaron fucking Rodgers got 40 on the ground. They are susceptible to allowing big yardage in this way. If you want to get cute parlay this bet with a Josh Allen anytime TD (+185)
Daniel Jones under 193.5 receiving yards (-120)
One of my favorite rivalries is being put on display Thanksgiving day. The Giants may have made the best coaching hire of the off-season with Brian Daboll, who has marched the Giants to more success on offense then anyone could of imagined. Unfortunately, that success will be shut down against a ferocious Dallas secondary. This is a defense that has allowed the fewest passing yards on the season. The Giants offense is riddled with injuries to pass-catchers and need to rely on Saquon at this point to move the Chains. The Giants offensive line might be more beat up then the pass-catchers and will try for dear life to protect Jones against a pass rush with the most sacks on the year.
Prescott over 224.5 passing yards/Lamb over 64.5 receiving yards/ Schultz over 34.5 receiving yards (+210)
In the spirit of giving, the Cowboys plan on giving the Giants a fucking smackdown. The Giants injuries to the secondary (most notably Adoree Jackson) could line up to potentially be a headache for Dak Prescott and the boys. Schultz had shown signs of life since Dak returned from injury hitting the 34.5 over mark 3 of the 4 games in that time. Lamb has been one of the best WRs in the league this year and could exploit all these injuries. Cowboys on Thanksgiving mixed with Giants injuries and me slamming beers, this is a bet I’m drunkenly making.
Jakobi Meyers over 51.5 recieving yards (-115)
GCF bet against Meyers last week, letting the world know to bench his ass in fantasy. Meyers finished the day with an underwhelming 4 catches and 52 yards. This week we are reversing the course and telling you to lay the over. I am no fan of Mac Jones at all but I am a fan of talent, and Meyers has a ton of it. Meyers has hit over 52 yards 6 out of 9 games this season. He has a chance to make it a 7th facing the Vikings Thursday night who have allowed the 3rd most receiving yards to wideouts on the season. The Vikings run a ton of zone-coverage schemes which has allowed them to struggle against play-action. They have allowed the third highest yards per attempt per play action attempt and New England is no stranger to the play action.
Mac Jones over 0.5 INT (-165)/Cousins over 0.5 INT (-120)
I found inspiration in this interception bet when I tweeted last week, asking everyone what they were betting on. One goon had 4 QBs lined up for interceptions, smashing the 0.5 over. That type of negativity will get you plenty of clout with GCF. This one is a no-brainer to me, more so with Mac. While the Patriots are the more dominant of the 2 defenses, both have had no problems forcing interceptions. Both teams rank in the top 7 with defensive interceptions, with the Patriots snagging 11 and the Vikings notching 10. Mac Jones like I said earlier is not a good QB, but Kirk Cousins is. The problem with Kirk is that he never performs during prime time games, often embarrassing himself with turnover outings. Like I said, if you want to pick one of these I would go Jones, but I think both QBs have it in them.
