Hasn't Detroit's secondary been a bit banged up? Maybe Jordan Love can build off what he did last week

As a big pre-season fan I am not a Browning guy. I'd be shocked if he comes out playing well and this team isn't built with elite enough defense/run game to have a game manager at QB. Trent Dilfer on this team wouldn't win 5 games. I could definitely be wrong, though! We'll see what they can do vs. an inept Pitt offense but great defense this week.

I believe so. But it feels like Detroit looks this match up. Knocked them out of the playoffs last year and were up 27-3 at half earlier this year before garbage time.

I'd be more concerned about Detroit if they weren't awful against Chicago. They will be up for Green Bay in this spot where for once they aren't the turkeys for thanksgiving.
The Lions just struggle against mobile quarterbacks

Recurring reminder of how bad Dallas is ATS on Thanksgiving. 1-11 in its last 12. Certainly playing well right now against pansy teams but the annual Turkey Days at home are hard to ignore.

I haven’t said this very much because I’ve been a huge fan of Dan Campbell but that loss was entirely on the Lions coaching staff. Mistake after mistake. The Lions were not ready to play yesterday. And all of this is true even if the fake punt never happens. By the way that fake punt may have been the single worst coaching decision of the season thus far.

Yeah that fake was awful.
Any one playing the Jags/Texans total?
I feel like Jax can hit 24+ 17 in the first game but undone by turnovers in Texans territory -- could definitely have had more than 17, also took them time to find the Engram, Kirk connection. Maybe Trevor's heating up now? Then Stroud another good QB vs Jax pass defense, put up 37 in the first game. If it's something like 30-24, then "over" hits

Sources: Steelers stars got into 'heated' spat
Diontae Johnson got into a "heated" argument with Minkah Fitzpatrick in the Steelers locker room before Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt broke up the altercation, sources told ESPN.
Agreed
Soft 2 now makes sense to me.

Said it before but I think the Jags go on a run. Texans get Pierce back but who knows how many touches. Not saying Trevor is great but look at the (lack of) qb talent Houston has faced. Houston's D hasn't stopped many teams & Jags are coming into form offensively. I don't like betting against hot teams at home but I think this is a spot where Jax offense can really explode

Different approach for me but along the same lines
I think we'll see the Houston defense start falling flat. They aren't deep and they've over performed. I'm fine paying to see it somehow hold together down the stretch. Team totals against are in play for me until the end of the season
It’s already absurd that the Jags only scored 17 in the first meeting…ridiculous red zone turnovers.
Jags won‘t be intimidated by road atmosphere — their road resume is pretty respectable.
I do think Texans seem to be more comfortable in a shootout-type affair, but you guys are really making me want to play the over! Already leaning that way

Jags tt over is my biggest play today and I'm not looking back
For some reason the Jags are favored...on the road...against a team that beat them by 20 on their turn and is sizzling hot. Very odd line. But that's why the TT isn't 23.5.
Jags -2 on the road = Jags -8 at home...I would play Texans +8 all day

For me hooks are a thing at 3 and 7. After that they become meaningless. Of course some will lose by the hook but 24-25 is not something I care about at all. It's a scare tactic imo

Titans game to me looks like one where Henry puts up stupid numbers & the Titans roll. Panthers run D is trashtastic and every decent rb they faced has ran well & scored. 2 rushing tds allowed in all but 2 games.

Bengals probably the right side in a game that I could see staying under 26 combined pts. New oc for Pitt maybe Warren goes off but Pickett as a road fave is LOL funny. Cincy gonna pound the run maybe run some misdirections with Chase what a bore this one will be

Agree with both sides there. Gonna be rainy and cold too...
Tits pass D is pretty trashtastic, too, though. I think over imo

They def are but I question the Panther's ability to exploit it... Hurst out Thielen would have to go off.
Are people out there betting the Jags? Just can't get over that they're favored at Houston and that the line went up to -2. Now -1 at BOL. Same kind of puzzlement about Pats altho I actually like the Pats a lot matchup-wise

Pats number to me looks like they are BEGGING you to play NYG. I don't have the stomach for that but I have them in some longshot parlays & won't back either team for a normal sized wager the rest of the season.
I got Pats winning 12-6 today (lol)

I see Jags as the play EVERYWHERE. I like them as stated but still haven't submitted because it looks like everyone is on them today.
Idk how reliable websites are but I'm seeing like 65% on Texans ATS in one place, 55% on Texans ATS in another
This is a ridiculous thing to say imo..you have some intense divisional matchups, Browns/Broncos especially if you like defense should be solid, Bills/Eagles can be very good, Ravens/Chargers also good. We can do without 49ers and Cowboys.

I think this is a great card possibly the best of the season with the Jets out of the way.

Maybe the stadium falls into a sink hole or some shit in East Rutherford, would make for a better slate of games today.
