Chicago (-3) at Detroit
I guess I’ll at least be able to stay focused on cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Bears by four.

Las Vegas (+7.5) at Dallas
Both of these teams this season have tended to do the exact opposite of what I expect. So I guess that means the Raiders are winning, because I’m taking Dallas. Though I’m not giving more than seven, so maybe the outcome is a blowout by the Cowboys. Shrug.

Buffalo (-6.5) at New Orleans
I can’t pick it this way, but I won’t be at all shocked if the Bills find a way to drop this one. Buffalo’s been inconsistent of late. And they’re traveling on short rest. Those are factors that can produce an upset. Still, I just don’t have it in me to pick the beat up Saints. So I’m going Bills by a field goal.
