Forgot to mention earlier today almost every thanksgiving games always go under in NFL, the cowboys one ended up going over but these other 2 are very low score fests.
Parlay betting $100
Dawson Knox TD anytime +260 + Bills ML -280

Just something to consider in terms of Packers/Rams this weekend:
Since Lafluer has been the coach the Packers have lost 7 regular season games. Their record after those losses...7-0.
Sometimes these stats seem to be kind of random or lack context, etc. (Like...who did they play in those games, how many were home vs road, etc). But it's something to consider. A bet on the Rams is betting that a team that's 7-0 after a loss under their current coach is going to lose a home game in bad weather to a team from a warm weather climate.
Eventually the Packers will likely lose 2 in a row with the Rodgers/Lafluer combo, maybe it's Sunday. I can't say I'd be jumping to give points against them in this spot though or even to bet against them in a pick 'em game.

But no seriously, I dont conceptualize that argument being made. Yeah there's something there with a 7-0 record but instead of blindly looking at that stat, can we put it in context to this week? Do you think Lafleur is going to out-coach McVay with one less week to prepare? with a hobbled quarterback? and a newly starting 3rd string left tackle? Against a team that needs this game more (coming off of two losses; Packers still lead their division with a L this week and a Vikings W). Do we even have quantifiable evidence the Rams are a poor cold weather team? I cant say yes or no to that personally as I dont have a sample size. I'd be much more concerned with the cold weather negatively affecting A-A-Ron's covid toe (im joking). A broken toe is going to be much more painful in that cold weather. He was in agony at the end of the first half last weekend in a climate controlled dome.
Side note unrelated to betting- I'm not actually joking when I say this but I LOVED what Cardinals are doing with Kyler and Nuk and managing their injuries and keeping them from setbacks in probably meaningless games. I probably would consider doing the same with Rodgers and Jones this week. They dont need to win. But they need Aaron to be healthy and one bad step on the toe can end the Packers season in a meaningless game.
The Rams get to show new wrinkles in this game with Von Miller and OBJ. That's something that the Packers cant prepare for because they dont have tape on what they're going to gameplan for them
The line is now -1.5. I think the Packers would be a great teaser leg as I think this should be a lower-scoring game and getting +7.5 at home is nice. That's all I'd consider if I wanted to back the Packers
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother betting the spread before the game. Seems like you can get a better line to live bet if youre willing to wait for the right time about 75% of the time
Exactly. I was considering a bet on the bucs all week and I got them at +5.5 live instead of laying 3. Like ok cool. I didn’t even have to pay juice. If Bucs lose by 7, the bet would have lost anyway so why not lolEspecially if you know your favored team is a slow starter. If a quick TD by the other team happens, you can get quite a few cents in added value by simply waiting a few minutes to bet.
