Thursday NFL Week 12 Odds and Picks

This week’s NFL odds feature multiple games on Thursday as it’s Thanksgiving week. There’s no time to waste! Let’s string some picks together for Week 12’s early action.

Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers (-10.5)

Thursday, November 26, 12:30 p.m. ET

The Detroit lions let Brady Quinn throw for 304 yards and four touchdowns against them last week. Brady Quinn. Now, they face MVP candidate Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers has absorbed a league-worst 43 sacks in just 10 games this year and still managed an eye-popping 19 touchdown passes. Now, he finally faces a weak pass rush; with time to throw, he could have his best game of the season. The Lions likely won’t have Matt Stafford (shoulder) and may not have Calvin Johnson either, so it’s hard to see them competing at all in this one. Make the Packers your NFL picks.

NFL betting pick: Packers -10.5

Oakland Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys (13.5)

Thursday, November 26, 4:15 p.m. ET

The Raiders shocked the sports betting world with a last-minute victory over the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Can they repeat their success at Cowboys Stadium this week? Their No. 12 pass defense may give the Cowboys trouble considering that Dallas has scored a combined 14 points over its last two games. Dallas should have no trouble running the ball on Oakland but may scuffle in the passing game at times, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Bruce Gradkowski and the Raiders stay within two touchdowns (and lose).

NFL betting pick: Raiders +13.5

New York Giants (-6.5) @ Denver Broncos

Thursday, November 26, 8:20 p.m. ET

A bye week did the Giants good; they returned refreshed last week, especially Eli Manning, and moved the ball well against Atlanta. They should do the same against the struggling Broncos this week, especially in the running game. New York ranks seventh in the NFL in rushing yards and the Broncos have allowed at least 174 yards on the ground in three straight contests. The Broncos are a sinking ship and their quarterback situation is shady with Kyle Orton battling an ankle injury, so they’re in no shape to end their losing streak this week.

NFL betting pick: Giants -6.5
