Best bets for NFL on Thanksgiving

The action begins at 1 p.m. ET in Detroit when the Lions host the Packers in an NFC North tilt. Green Bay dominated this matchup back in Week 1 with a 27-13 win, and the Packers are 7-3-1 on the year to the Lions' 7-4 mark. Both teams are looking for a win in order to keep pace with the Bears, who are 8-3 thanks to a four-game winning streak. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, likes the Lions to win and cover, as they cover a field goal in 53% of simulations.

An intriguing interconference affair takes place in Dallas with the Cowboys hosting the Chiefs in a battle of wild card contenders. The Chiefs are 6-5 and are looking to make a strong late-season push after some unexpected hiccups early in the campaign. Dallas has one of the league's best offenses, but its awful defense, especially against the pass, is a big part of why the Cowboys are 5-5-1. The total is 52.5, but the SportsLine model is taking the Under as that side of the total hits in 54% of model simulations. 

The action concludes with an AFC North tilt between the surging Ravens and the Bengals. Baltimore has won five in a row entering Thursday, tying them atop the division with the Steelers at 6-5. The Bengals are just 3-8 thanks largely to a porous defense, but they get reinforcements on offense with Joe Burrow set to make his first start since Week 2 while the team will also get Ja'Marr Chase back after a one-game suspension. Despite the return of Burrow to Cincy's offense, the model is backing the Ravens as they cover the 7-point spread in 53% of simulations.
