I love this parlay... Playing $2/$12
Lions +11, Cowboys -13.5, & Broncos +7
Call it a hunch, but I think the Cowboys are the only favorite that covers Thanksgiving. I live in Dallas and yes I am a fan of Dallas, but I am a much bigger fan of money.
Vegas sets a line based on trends/consensus, among other things. What is the most watched day in FOOTBALL, minus the superbowl? Thanksgiving... Everyone and their brother/uncle/aunt/etc.. will be putting a little $$ on the games, so the only thing left to do is go against the grain.
Dallas- Cowboys score 7 against Washington, Oakland beats the Bengals. The perfect lead into Thursday's game... Hence, the line is set at 13.5. (Makes you second guess those Cowboys, right?)
Detroit- Greenbay plays well enough to win at home against the 49ers and the Lions win by a point against the browns at home. Greenbay shoulda, woulda, coulda beat the Lions on Thanksgiving, but the Packers will have a short fall and the Lions will play like there is no tomorrow, with or without Stafford. (I'd almost rather have Culpepper, with my play)
Denver- Broncos have fallen off the map. Giants had fallen off the map until they beat Atlanta in OT. (Not saying Atlanta is some super team, but had the Giants lost to Atlanta off a bye, WOW) Broncos got murdered at home against a solid AFC opponent. It seems like the Broncos have lost their home field advantage, Pittsburgh & now SD?? Now a falsely lifted Giants team comes strolling in to take it's turn at the fallen Broncos. The Broncos will tighten up this game and may win outright. Eli vs. Broncos secondary makes for a looooooong plane ride home for Eli. (Just saying)
I'm not posting this on all three threads to waste space. Just my take on how things will pan out this Thursday. Put a small play on the parlay and you might be suprised.
Just a shot in the dark...
Lions 24/Packers 28 * Cowboys 27/Raiders 10 * Broncos 20/Giants 17
Good Luck to All....
