Thanksgiving Edition Picks 2017

Stafford looks to improve 

the Lions 3-0 division record.

Minnesota @ Detroit (+2) - The Lions already beat the Vikings on the road in a game where Dalvin Cook got knocked out with a season ending injury and Minnesota struggled to put up 7 points.

LA Chargers @ Dallas- Playing on the road may help the Chargers since they are many Cowboys fans in LA.  For the past two weeks, the Cowboys have had blowout losses against the Falcon and the Eagles who have been without Ezekiel Elliot.  The Chargers are not in that tier one category but they have been knocking on the door with some close games against the Eagles and the Jaguars earlier in the season.  

NY Giants (+7) @ Washington - This could be a relatively close game against division rivals.  While Washington should edge out the Giants, they have not beaten the Giants by a touchdown or more since 2011.  The short week should hurt both teams equally given that the Giants only have to make a short commute from New York.
