Chicago<\/a> (-3) at<\/strong> Detroit<\/a><\/strong>
I guess I’ll at least be able to stay focused on cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Bears by four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las Vegas<\/a> (+7.5) at<\/strong> Dallas<\/a><\/strong>
Both of these teams this season have tended to do the exact opposite of what I expect. So I guess that means the Raiders are winning, because I’m taking Dallas. Though I’m not giving more than seven, so maybe the outcome is a blowout by the Cowboys. Shrug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buffalo<\/a> (-6.5) at<\/strong> New Orleans<\/a><\/strong>
I can’t pick it this way, but I won’t be at all shocked if the Bills find a way to drop this one. Buffalo’s been inconsistent of late. And they’re traveling on short rest. Those are factors that can produce an upset. Still, I just don’t have it in me to pick the beat up Saints. So I’m going Bills by a field goal.<\/p>\n
