One part of the parlay we’ll give away: The model is backing the Over in Cowboys vs. Washington! The Over, which has hit the last five times these two teams have met in Dallas, hits in more than 50 percent of simulations.
One SportsLine expert is all over a team that’s poised for a SHOCKING cover! You ABSOLUTELY need to see all the predictions before locking in any Thanksgiving Day football picks.
Here are the expert picks:
R.J. White:
HOUSTON -2.5
HOUSTON @ DETROIT | 11/26 | 12:30 PM EST
Typically in a situation like this I want to be all over the home ‘dog that looked terrible last week, but I’m not sure I can do it with Detroit. The matchup suggests the offense could have a good day, but Matthew Stafford and Co. couldn’t do anything against another mediocre defense last week. Teams can beat the Texans by getting up early and running the ball down their throats, but the Lions are pros at losing big leads. If Kenny Golladay comes back and you want to play Lions at +3, I won’t give you too much pushback. But this line is getting to 3 at some point, and right now I want to be the guy with Texans -2.5 in my pocket.

DALLAS -2.5
WASHINGTON @ DALLAS | 11/26 | 4:30 PM EST
Have America’s bettors soured on America’s Team? This spot is small, perhaps because the memory of Washington’s 25-3 romp in the first matchup this year remains fresh. Factor in, also, Dallas’ 1-8 ATS record on Thanksgiving Day since 2011. However, the Cowboys have vastly improved, taking unbeaten Pittsburgh to the wire two games ago and tripping up Minnesota on Sunday. The ATS slump on the holiday is partly explained by Dallas having been a substantial favorite. Its straight-up mark is 4-5 this decade. A victory here should come with a cover.
Model:
HOUSTON @ DETROIT | 11/26 | 12:30 PM EST
PICK: UNDER (51): The Under (51) hits in 63 percent of simulations.
WASHINGTON @ DALLAS | 11/26 | 4:30 PM EST
PICK: OVER (46): The Over (46) hits in 51 percent of simulations.
UTAH ST. +6.5
NEW MEXICO @ UTAH ST. | 11/26 | 7:00 PM EST
The model predicts that Utah State quarterback Andrew Peasley throws for 249 yards with 1.70 touchdowns and 0.99 interceptions on average. Jaylin Warren carries the ball 12.4 times for 61 yards and 0.81 touchdowns in the 10,000 simulations of Thursday’s game. Meanwhile, New Mexico quarterback Tevaka Tuioti throws for 226 yards and 1.20 interceptions on average. That’s a big reason why Utah State covers in well over 60 percent of simulations.
