Thursday Night Football Predictions: Seattle Seahawks vs Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Allen - 11/28/2023

What a wild week of football and food that was! Betting the three big favorites on Turkey Day was a success, as two out of three came through for us. The Detroit Lions failed us, but the Niners and Cowboys won big over their division rivals. This week's Thursday Night Football matchup features two teams we saw on Thanksgiving. I like that. They each have equal rest, and we get a Thursday primetime game with both squads having a week to prepare.

Thursday Night Football Predictions: San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks
by Mike Allen - 11/20/2023

In the late game on Thanksgiving, the Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers at 8:20 Eastern. I imagine that’s about the time some of us start to come out of our food comas. The previous game got out of hand midway through the third quarter. Dallas just picked off Sam Howell for the third time today. Maybe you took a walk with your cousin. Maybe you had to kick your nephews Kaden and Braden off the couch. Either way, though, you found a way to sleep off that last meal, though.

Thursday Football Picks: Washington Commanders vs Dallas Cowboys
by Mike Allen - 11/20/2023

In the second of three divisional rivalry games on Thanksgiving, the heavily favored Dallas Cowboys will play host to the Washington Commanders. Washington is coming off of an embarrassing loss at home to the New York Giants. That came after a spirited performance and close loss on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. I guess that one took the wind from the Commanders' sails.

Thursday Football Picks: Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions
by Mike Allen - 11/20/2023

Unfortunately, the NFL couldn't provide us with any action for Halloween, but that's okay. They are making up for it this Thanksgiving with not one, not two, but three games. These aren’t just any three games, either. We are treated to divisional rivalries in each matchup. The first of the day will be kicking off at 12:30 Eastern from the Motor City, as Coach of the Year betting favorite Dan Campbell and his Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers.

Thursday Night Football Predictions: Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens
by Mike Allen - 11/13/2023

Finally, we get a must-see matchup on Thursday Night Football this week when the Cincinnati Bengals fly up to Baltimore to play the division-rival Ravens. Last week, we had the Bears and the Panthers, which was atrocious. That game is thankfully behind us, though. And looking ahead to the second half of the NFL regular season, we have premier matchups almost every week.

Thursday Night Football Picks: Carolina Panthers vs Chicago Bears

We are officially in Week 10 and at the halfway mark of the NFL 2023 regular season. Many of us thought we had the landscape of the league figured out, but football reminded us why we love it so much. There is a lot of parity in the NFL, as you know.

Thursday Night Football Predictions: Tennessee Titans vs Pittsburgh Steelers
by Mike Allen - 10/30/2023

We are just about to the halfway point of the 2023 NFL regular season, and some teams have already had to play their backup quarterbacks. Most of these choices by the head coach have been out of necessity. Included in that bunch are the Tennessee Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers. These two historically/currently defensive-minded teams will face off this Thursday night from for the former Heinz Field and now Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA.

Thursday Night Football Predictions: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Buffalo Bills
by Mike Allen - 10/24/2023

I know we are entering Week 8 of the 2023 NFL regular season, but in a way, it feels like a second Week 1. The grass here in the foothills of the Blue Ridge frosted over last night. The weather is about to take on a more influential role in the Second Act of the season. Will the Miami Dolphins be able to keep up their potentially record-breaking numbers on offense?

Thursday Night Football Predictions: Jacksonville Jaguars vs New Orleans Saints
by Mike Allen - 10/17/2023

We are already prepping for Week 7 of NFL action! It's been a fun ride so far, but most importantly, we are learning from our mistakes and improving each week. There will always be plenty of ups and downs in your betting performance. However, as long as we are at least treading water and improving, the best is yet to come.

Thursday Night Football Picks: Denver Broncos vs Kansas City Chiefs
by Mike Allen - 10/10/2023

We are just about ⅓ of the way through the 2023 NFL regular season, and the league is beginning to take form, not quite its final form, but we are getting there. We have a pretty good idea of which teams are going to the playoffs and who isn't. Today's matchup is a perfect example of a bad team vs a good team.

Thursday Night Football Picks: Washington Commanders vs Chicago Bears
by Mike Allen - 10/3/2023

Last week, we improved our record on Thursday Night Football to 4-2 with a big win on the Detroit Lions moneyline of (-125). I felt great about this one, because I said in the article that Green Bay was not on their level. While the Packers will have to scratch and claw for a potential postseason berth, the Detroit Lions are the clear favorites to win the NFC North. Another thing we did correctly was simply taking the moneyline.

Another exciting week of pro football action is now behind us. We are approaching one of my favorite betting times of the year in any sport. I really like Weeks 4-8 in the NFL. If we are sharp, we can confidently stick some temporary labels on most of these teams. From there, we can ride the wave until the sportsbooks and/or the betting market price them out.

Thursday Night Football Predictions: New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers
by Mike Allen - 9/19/2023

Welcome to Week 3 in the NFL. I hope everyone is still in the green after a fun first two weeks of the 2023 regular season. If you're down a bit, that's okay. Hopefully, you avoided betting the over on Nick Chubb or Aaron Rodgers futures.

NFL Thursday Night Football Picks: Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles
by Mike Allen - 9/12/2023

Week 1 of the NFL regular season is officially in the books. What did we learn? Oh, plenty. We saw Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins put up one of the best statistical games of any QB in the first week of the year. He lost two fumbles, however, which led to the Vikings losing to their NFC North division foe, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Thursday Night Football Picks: Lions at Chiefs Week 1 Predictions
by Mike Allen - 8/23/2023

The Thursday Night Kickoff Game has become a tradition for the NFL. Since 2006, the league has played its first game on a Thursday, typically hosted by the defending Super Bowl champs. As the Kansas City Chiefs look ahead to this upcoming season, two rings in two years is a tall task. With that said, the Chiefs are the current favorites to win Super Bowl LVIII at (+650). They welcome the Detroit Lions to Arrowhead Stadium on September 7.
