2018 NFL Thanksgiving Games Winner Picks
With Thanksgiving here, the holiday season has officially begun, and with it, we get a triple header of NFL games midweek. Below are my picks for the winners of this year's games.
Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions: It seems that Mitchell Trubisky will not play in this one, but the Bears should have enough offense behind Chase Daniel's arm, and they definitely have the edge on defense. I predict that Chicago pulls it out by seven points.
Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys: Like Chicago, the Redskins go into their opponent's stadium with a backup quarterback. In this case, it will be Texas native Colt McCoy. The former Longhorns quarterback did upset the Cowboys on a Monday night some years ago, but I think that Dallas will prevail on this one. They seem to have developed some rhythm on offense, and their defense seems like the better one. I say the 'Boys take it by 10.
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints: What to say about this game? There will hopefully be plenty of fireworks as both squads are capable of scoring in the mid-30s. Having said that, the Saints seem to be on their game a bit more than the Falcons, and I say that Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, and Michael Thomas score a bit more than Matt Ryan, Tevin Coleman, and Julio Jones. I feel that the Saints will win by 14.
