The two most synonymous teams with NFL Thanksgiving football are the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. Since that means that they just had Thursday games, the league has made it so that they also kick off the NFL Week 14 slate. Therefore, to add to Cowboys vs. Lions, we've got our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football.

With plenty of stars in this matchup as well, we’ve also shared how to fully enjoy any NFL picks for TNF with DFS lineups after claiming a guaranteed two-part Sleeper Fantasy promo code bonus! 

NFL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets for Thursday Night Football, 12/4

As mentioned, we last saw both the Cowboys and Lions, it was on Thanksgiving Day. They both had extremely tough and important matchups, and as for Detroit, we appreciated starting the holiday with a nice, early cash with the first of our NFL best bets on David Montgomery finding the endzone against the Green Bay Packers at plus-money odds!

Of course, our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football are here to help find another valuable spot. As for our target in the Cowboys' Thanksgiving game, we had Kansas City Chiefs’ Rashee Rice finding the endzone, which was another early cash. Given those two picks, we’d bet that you’ll see plenty of NFL picks for TNF this week predicting a shootout.

We, too, expect plenty of fireworks, but there is more value to be had with our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football, given how these teams match up. 
 

 

 

Thursday Night Football Prediction for Cowboys vs. Lions 

It’s no surprise to even the most casual of fans that these are two defenses that are struggling. If there was a pick on the Packers that we would have made against Detroit, it would have been Jordan Love over 1.5 passing TDs; he had four! The Lions' banged-up secondary and great run defense are sure to have Dak Prescott throwing a ton.

Therefore, you could certainly add to your NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football with the Cowboys QB to go over his passing attempts prop. That relates back to our comment on how these teams match up. Dak Prescott will be throwing against a ton of man coverage, as the Lions run it the second-most in the NFL.

Conversely, Dallas runs zone coverage the sixth-most in the league. This is where we can’t get any further into our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football without noting why Detroit would have appreciated the extra rest after the holiday - superstar WR Amon-Ra St. Brown left with an ankle injury very early on Thanksgiving and didn’t return. 

That’s why we saw a ton of work for Jameson Williams to the tune of seven catches for 144 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. With Dallas’ pass defense having been awful all season, he too can be added to the top pick from our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football below. 
 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Lions Best Bet for NFL Week 14: Jahmyr Gibbs Anytime TD & Detroit ML (Use His Sleeper Fantasy Card)

You know who else can get it done in the passing game? Jahmyr Gibbs. We had the read on David Montgomery on Thanksgiving, and now it’s time for Dan Campbell to get Jahmyr Gibbs in the endzone after his 20 carries and four targets. No matter if Amon-Ra St. Brown is 100% or not, Jahmyr Gibbs is the engine of this high-powered offense.

Admittedly, this exact pick has been part of our NFL predictions as of late. We cashed it in Week 10 and 12, so why not 14? You could say that this isn’t providing much variety for our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football, but we just like providing you with winners. Winning is also what we expect from Detroit.

They are currently tied for the second-most consecutive wins following a loss in NFL history after recently bouncing back from a loss to the defending Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles. Now, with the ultimate dual threat of Jahmyr Gibbs facing a poor Cowboys defense, albeit improved, we love the matchup.

Oh yeah, did we mention that the Lions beat the Cowboys 47-9 in Week 6 of last year? We absolutely love locking in the top pick from our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football on Jahmyr Gibbs anytime TD & Lions ML (add the touchdown to a Sleeper lineup)!
