(NFL) Minnesota vs. Detroit,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -115.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Loss
I like the value here with Detroit catching a field goal at home against the Vikings on Thanksgiving Day. Minnesota was only a 3-point favorite at home earlier this season, which they lost 7-14. Detroit is averaging 27.6 ppg and just over 350 ypg at home this season. At the same time the Vikings are giving up 22.2 ppg on the road, well above their season average of 17.2 ppg. Lions have gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games and are an impressive 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games played in November. I'm backing the home dog with Detroit in this early kickoff on Thanksgiving.
