    I don't care about the Lions being bad the last few years on Thanksgiving. They were horrible in general.

    This year, they're not, and they've been keeping almost every game close.

    Average team, at home on Thanksgiving, against a team coming off big wins against the Steelers and Colts.

    I could see them winning outright.

    I know that would be great for you guys because that would giveyou a firm grip on the division and a first round bye in the playoffs but i give the Lions maybe a 5% chance of winning. I am consdering taking the Pats winning the game and the Lions with +13 and scratching the Bengals/Jets game.

    The lions have played well at home. All 1 possession games

    You said the same thing about the browns game in Cleveland and how'd that work out for you? A touchdown is a lot of points given how close detroits home games have been

    I'm not recommending the Lions because them winning would help the Jets.

    How often do you see me pick the Jets?

    I still see the Pats easily winning this game. Only bet i made was this teaser and again the one im concerned about is the Bengals getting 16. It was either that or take the Jets winning by 5. I think the Jets will win but i had to play the odds. Happy Turkey day to my fella bettors!

    must be really off lines there, because the Jets have been a 9 point favorite and the line hasn't moved much.

    Teasing down should be -3 and teasing up should be +15.

    I wish the Lions had been home this past week. That could've made this an even better spot.

    Anyway, I'm making it a best bet:

    Lions +7.5 (-115)

    line from Bodog

    That game was crazy, i lucked out on that one. Up unti about the 4th quarter i was wishing i took the Lions and 13 instead of Pats winning by 2. Thank you Alphonso Smith. I lucked out with Malcolm Jenkins and the Saints coming back the last minute too! Now lets go Bengals, don't blow 16 points!!

    Wow again I luck out, covering by a half point with the Bengals! I'm liking some of Sundays spreads....

    Chiefs - 1.5 @ Seahawks
    Chargers +3.5 @ Colts
    Steelers - 7.5 @ Bills
    Raiders -2.5 vrs Dolphins

    I think you mean buying a point.

    No such thing as a one point teaser.
