NFL picks: Our plays for Thanksgiving games

The stage is set for a thrilling Thanksgiving Day showdown between three prominent NFL teams. The Green Bay Packers are looking to take down their arch-rivals, the Detroit Lions, in a battle that promises to be a closely contested affair.

A closer examination of the statistics reveals that Jahmyr Gibbs' exceptional performance against the Giants cannot guarantee a similar showing against Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson, who have consistently provided a formidable rushing presence for the Packers. As a result, Green Bay's running game is poised to set the tone and dictate the pace of the game.

Meanwhile, in Kansas City, quarterback Patrick Mahomes has struggled on the road against top-notch defenses, including the Cowboys. While the Chiefs boast an impressive record of 26-6 against NFC teams since 2020, their recent form in Dallas suggests that they may be due for a reversal.

In contrast, the Cowboys' defense appears to have found its footing after struggling earlier in the season, which has increased the likelihood of them containing Mahomes and stifling the Chiefs' high-powered offense. A cautious approach from Kansas City could lead to an underwhelming display on Thanksgiving Day.

Finally, at nightfall, the Baltimore Ravens are set to clash with the Cincinnati Bengals in a battle that promises to be just as closely contested as their previous meeting. The Ravens have been bolstered by quarterback Lamar Jackson's resurgence after returning from injury, and his impressive 4-0 record since his return makes him an attractive betting option.

However, the Bengals' ability to produce tight performances in recent games cannot be overlooked, particularly against weaker opponents. Nonetheless, Baltimore's defense remains a formidable unit that will prove challenging for Cincinnati's passing offense.

These factors suggest that each of these Thanksgiving Day matchups has the potential to go either way, making them attractive betting opportunities for fans and analysts alike.
 
OMG I'm soooo hyped for this Thanksgiving Day games!!! ๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿˆ The Packers vs Lions is gonna be a nail-biter! I think the Packers' running game is key, but only if they can get Jahmyr Gibbs going like he did against the Giants lol. If Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson can bring that heat, it's gonna be a long day for Detroit ๐Ÿคฃ

And what's up with Patrick Mahomes on the road? I mean, I love him as much as the next person, but he's gotta step up his game if KC wants to take down Dallas. The Cowboys' D is looking fierce right now and I'm loving that cautious approach from Andy Reid - underwhelming displays are not what the Chiefs need ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Now, Ravens vs Bengals at nightfall? Yessss! Lamar Jackson is back in form and he's gonna light it up out there. But those Bengals have been sneaky good lately and I wouldn't count them out just yet ๐Ÿ˜ Defense is key, especially for Baltimore.

This is shaping up to be an epic Thanksgiving Day ๐ŸŽ‰ Can't wait to see which teams come out on top! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
Ugh ๐Ÿคฏ I'm getting so nervous just thinking about this Thanksgiving Day games! Packers vs Lions is gonna be such a close one, I can feel it ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. And what's up with Mahomes lately? He's been so inconsistent on the road ๐Ÿค”. The Chiefs' defense seems to be stepping up their game at the right time, which is terrifying for KC fans ๐Ÿ˜ณ.

And Ravens vs Bengals is gonna be a nail-biter! Lamar Jackson is looking like his old self again ๐Ÿ’ช, but the Bengals are no joke either. This one's got all the makings of an epic upset ๐Ÿคฏ. I'm seriously considering making some bets on these games ๐Ÿ˜….
 
The stage is set for an epic Turkey Day showdown between three powerhouses in the NFL ๐Ÿคฏ. I'm thinking Packers vs Lions is gonna be a real nail-biter - both teams have solid defenses that will limit each other's scoring chances. But you gotta give credit to Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson, they're a dynamic duo that can break off big runs at any time.

On the other hand, Chiefs vs Cowboys could go either way ๐Ÿค”. The Chiefs are on fire with Patrick Mahomes leading the charge, but their offense has struggled in tough matchups before. And let's not forget that Dallas' defense has been looking fierce lately ๐Ÿ”’.

The Ravens vs Bengals match is a real toss-up โš–๏ธ. Lamar Jackson is back and stronger than ever, but the Bengals have shown they can hang with anyone on offense ๐Ÿคฏ. Baltimore's D will be key to containing Joe Burrow's passing attack.

Ultimately, all three games are gonna be super competitive and should make for some thrilling action on Thanksgiving Day ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ‘
 
idk about this whole football hype... always seems like everyone's super invested in the games but at the end of the day it's just a bunch of guys running around with a ball ๐Ÿค”

i mean, i get that these teams are big deals and all, but can we really predict what'll happen on thanksgiving? i think people forget how much can change from one game to another. i'm more intrigued by the stats than the hype, tbh ๐Ÿ˜

also, can we talk about mahomes' form on the road? that's some pretty wild inconsistency right there ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ anyone got a formula for his success or failure? ๐Ÿ“Š
 
I don't think anyone should bet on Kansas City yet ๐Ÿค”. Their recent form in Dallas is concerning and their road struggles are no joke. The Cowboys' defense seems to have found its groove and I think they've got this one locked up ๐Ÿ‘Š. On the other hand, Jahmyr Gibbs' performance against the Giants was pure magic โœจ. If he can bring that same energy against Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson, Green Bay might just pull off a surprise win ๐Ÿคฏ
 
I'm so done with all this football talk ๐Ÿคฃ! Can't we just focus on what's really important? Like how to get those endorphins pumping up in our bodies to enjoy the holiday season without overeating, you know? ๐Ÿ’ช I mean, have you seen the stats on Thanksgiving food? It's like a heart attack waiting to happen! ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ‘€ Anyway, back to football... it's all about those running games and quarterback performances. But let's not forget about self-care, folks! Make sure you're getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and taking time for yourself this holiday season. Your mind and body will thank you ๐Ÿ˜Œ
 
I'm low-key hyped about this NFL Thanksgiving lineup ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿˆ The Green Bay-Packers-Detroit Lions matchup is gonna be a war ๐ŸŒช๏ธ, with Jahmyr Gibbs' Giants-bashing skills pitted against Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson's relentless rushing attacks ๐Ÿ’ช. But you know what? I'm not counting out the Lions just yet ๐Ÿ˜.

On the other side of the coin, Patrick Mahomes vs the Cowboys' D is always a fascinating clash ๐Ÿ”ฅ. He's been on fire this season, but that recent Dallas performance has got me wondering if he can turn it up another notch ๐Ÿ’จ. Maybe Kansas City needs to take a more cautious approach and play smart ball?

And don't sleep on those Ravens-Bengals showdowns either ๐Ÿคฏ Lamar Jackson is back in the saddle and bringing his A-game ๐Ÿ”. But I think Cincinnati's got some tricks up their sleeve, too โ€“ they've been quietly winning games against weaker opponents, after all ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Overall, it's gonna be an epic Turkey Day in the NFL ๐Ÿฆƒ, with so many exciting matchups to look forward to!
 
I'm so stoked about this upcoming NFL games on Thanksgiving Day ๐Ÿคฉ! The Packers vs Lions game is gonna be a real nail-biter, but I think Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson are gonna give Jahmyr Gibbs a run for his money ๐Ÿ˜…. And can't forget about Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs - they're always so unpredictable, but if they play cautiously, it could be a low-scoring game ๐Ÿ“‰. The Ravens vs Bengals is another great matchup, with Lamar Jackson looking super sharp again ๐Ÿ’ช. I'm loving all these betting options - who's gonna come out on top? ๐Ÿค”
 
Umm... I dont get why they keep saying Mahomes struggles on the road ๐Ÿค”... like isnt he a superstar or something? Shouldnt he just be able to do his thing wherever he plays? ๐Ÿ˜‚ And what's with all these teams having great records against each other since 2020? That sounds kinda fishy... aren't those stats just gonna get lost in the wash on Thanksgiving Day when its actually time to play? ๐Ÿˆ Can anyone give me a simple answer on who's gonna win it all?
 
The Packers vs Lions is gonna be intense ๐Ÿคฏ. I think Green Bay's running game is key, but Jahmyr Gibbs' performance against the Giants was pretty impressive so we'll see how that translates to Detroit ๐Ÿค”. On the other hand, Mahomes has struggled on the road before and the Cowboys' defense seems solid right now ๐Ÿ’ช. It's gonna be a tough one for KC in Dallas. The Ravens vs Bengals is also looking good, with Lamar Jackson looking sharp after coming back from injury ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Baltimore's defense is always tough, but Cincinnati's passing offense might give them some trouble ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Any way you slice it, Thanksgiving Day games are always must-watch ๐Ÿ“บ!
 
I'm loving this NFL Thanksgiving lineup ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ”ฅ! The Packers vs Lions matchup is gonna be a real nail-biter, especially with Jahmyr Gibbs facing off against Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson. I mean, can Gibbs replicate his Giants performance? ๐Ÿ”ฎ Meanwhile, the Chiefs are looking to break their road losing streak in Dallas, but Mahomes' recent struggles might just keep them grounded ๐Ÿ˜.

The Cowboys defense is definitely looking stronger after those early season stumbles, so it'll be interesting to see how they contain Mahomes. And then there's the Ravens vs Bengals matchup - Lamar Jackson is back and looking fierce ๐Ÿ’ช, but the Bengals have been quietly producing some solid performances lately. It's anyone's game! ๐Ÿคฏ
 
I'm loving this Thanksgiving Day gridlock! ๐Ÿคฉ The Packers vs Lions is gonna be a war ๐Ÿ’ฅ, and I think the game's gonna come down to who can control the clock. Jahmyr Gibbs might not be able to replicate that Giants win against Aaron Jones and Emanuel Wilson, you feel me? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Meanwhile, I'm thinking the Chiefs are gonna struggle in Dallas like they always do ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ, and the Cowboys' D is looking sharp. But, you know what's crazy? The Ravens vs Bengals at nightfall might be even more intense ๐Ÿ”ฅ! Lamar Jackson is on fire now that he's back from injury, but the Bengals can still put up some serious points against Baltimore's defense ๐Ÿค‘. I'm all about betting on these matchups โ€“ it's gonna be a wild ride! ๐ŸŽฒ
