Best Bet of the Day
NFL: New England Patriots vs Minnesota Vikings under 42.5 (-110)
8:15 pm ET
This is the highest total of a Patriots game since Week 6, when it was set at 43.5 against the Browns, and we’re backing the under with confidence. The last 3 New England games ended with 39, 29 and 13 points, and that’s because of the combination of their poor offense and excellent defense. In those 3 games for the Patriots, Mac Jones and the offense have scored 2 touchdowns. It’s been a pathetic showing for them on offense, and it’s been the defense that has kept them in so many games. If trends mean anything, scoring should be scarce. The under is 17-8 in the last 25 Thanksgiving games and 7-0 in the last 7 Thanksgiving night games.
