NFL Thanksgiving Triple-Header

It’s Thanksgiving and since we have a triple header in the NFL on tap, there’s definitely a lot to be thankful for.

The brand new week of the 2008-09 NFL football season starts on Thanksgiving day with a triple-header that will surely blow your mind. Of course, SportsBetting.com is also there, ready to give you all kinds of Thanksgiving bonus offers aside from that turkey you’ll be chomping on at the dinner table.

We love tradition as much as the next guy, but can anyone give us one good reason why the Detroit Lions still get to play every Thanksgiving?

I mean, come on, the Dallas Cowboys, they hold up their end of the deal, but the Lions organization simply doesn’t deserve a spotlight game on Thanksgiving Thursday any more.

But there they are, kicking the day off. At least if you’re on the West Coast you can sleep in and miss the Lions game. That said, it’s still Thanksgiving Thursday football, one of the best days of the year and of course, this is also the perfect opportunity for you to cash in on the Thanksgiving bonus specials SportsBetting.com is offering.

Here’s what will be cooking on Thursday besides turkey and trimmings.

The Tennessee Titans will play the struggling Detroit Lions first. While the Titans blew a chance to keep the perfect season alive last week when they lost to the New York Jets, the 0-11 Lions are still on pace for another type of perfect season, running the table without a single win.

In fact, SportsBetting.com has a betting propositions wager up right now that you can bet whether the Lions will go 0-16 or not this year. Detroit is listed as 10.5-point home underdog in this one.

Next, we have the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks. Like the Detroit Lions, the Dallas Cowboys always play on Thanksgiving but unlike the Lions, the boys from ‘’Big D’’ are entertaining and are a good draw. This Thanksgiving, the Cowboys will host the Seattle Seahawks and are favored by 13-points.

Worth keeping in mind is that in their last 10 games when underdogs of more than 8-points, Seattle is cashing in at a rate of 90 percent, going 9-1 against the spread and at the same time, have gone 9-1 in the Over/Under. Dallas on the other hand, in their last eight games when favored by over 8-points, has struggled ATS dropping six of its last eight matchups.

Tony Romo of course, could care less, and if you’re betting on this game straight up, pick Dallas to win.

Last but not the least, we have the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Arizona Cardinals. Reid has decided to go with Donovan McNabb at QB four days removed from the halftime benching and it will be interesting to see how his starter responds. The Eagles have gone 0-2-1 SU and 0-3 ATS in their last three games while the Cardinals are having a season for the ages, going 7-4 SU and ATS so far, sitting atop the NFC West.
