The NFL is back to three games on Thanksgiving day and night to help celebrate the holiday with a full football feast. The Week 12 challenge that comes with our picks and predictions against the spread for the contests this year is the fact all six teams in the matchups lost their games in Week 11.What does that mean for Thursday's action? Something must give as three teams need to rebound while Kole Calhoun Jersey the other half stays cold and thinks about another lo s on a much longer week.It seemseasiest to trust the two best teams playing and one of the traditional hosts.Here's Sporting News thorough Thanksgiving game breakdown, hoping for no turkeys in our latest fearle s forecast for the 2021 season:MORE NFL WEEK 12 PICKS: | NFL picks, predictions for ThanksgivingBears (-3.5, 41.5 o/u)at Lions 12:30p.m. ET, FoxThe Bears are going back to starting Andy Dalton after rookie first-rounder Justin Fields got knocked out with an injury to his ribs against the Ravens. The Lions may stick with Tim Boyle over Jared Goff, who mi sed all of Week 11 at the Browns with an oblique injury.Detroit created some ugly games in Pittsburgh and Huston Street Jersey Cleveland with a run-heavy, gritty defensive approach. But its last two home games against Cincinnati and Philadelphia weredisasters. Chicago has good recent history in Ford Field, including two consecutive Thanksgiving game wins.The Bears are mi sing key defensive players but still hveplenty of offense in this matchup to support Dalton, led by running back David Montgomery and breakout wide receiver Darnell Mooney. The Lions will try to ride D'Andre Swift to victory in the backfield, but their lack of reliable downfield pa sing game hurts here. Whether it's Fields or Dalton, the Bears will break out of scoringin the teens and execute enough to delay the end of the Matt Nagy era.Pick: Bears win 27-17 and cover the.spread. Hansel Robles Jersey Raiders at Cowboys (-7, 51o/u) 4:30p.m. ET, CBS The Raiders are back to fading hardout of the AFC playoff picture. They can no longer run the ball and play adequate defense, which is putting a lot of pre sure on Derek Carr in what's become a compre sed pa sing game again. All those developments are bad for facing the Cowboys. Dallas had the Denver hiccup at home but has otherwise rolled in Jerry World.MORE: The Cowboys' offense will bewithout former Raiders wideout Amari Cooper (COVID-19) and likely also new top target CeeDee Lamb (concu sion). They were kept out of the end zone in Kansas City last week as both Dak Prescott and the running game struggled. Look for them to go back to basics with the backield of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, with more short-to-intermediate pa sing and still just enough receiving pop with Michael Gallup and Cedrick Willson.The Raiders can do some damage with Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow inside for Carr, but again he'll be under siege and make critical mistakes as Dan Quinn's defense schemes to confuse him.Pick:Cowboys Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim Jersey win 27-17and cover the spread. Bills(-4, 46.5) at Saints8:20 p.m. ET, NBCThe Bills have lost their way offensively as the big plays downfield have been taken away from Josh Allen and they struggle to support him with a traditional running game. Allen needsto rely more on his own athleticism to make Nolan Ryan Jersey plays, takinga cue from what Jalen Hurts did against the Saints' defense. Throwing a lot more to Stefon Diggs and Dawson Knox on short-to-intermediate routes is also a smart, patient game plan.The Saints are uncertain to have Alvin Kamara (knee) back on a short week after he mi sed the past two games. The Bills' run defense should be motivated to show the Jonathan Taylor debacle at home was a fluke. Trevor Siemianshould see plenty of pre sure and won't see much open available with his limited receiver and tight end committee.Pick: Bills win 27-17and cover the spread.
