4 picks for you today, covering all of today’s NFL and college games. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you that follow me here on GridIronPicks.com and on Twitter (@football_picks)
College:
Texas at Texas A&M
Favorite: Texas A&M -8.5
O/U: 53
Despite the weak offensive output the last couple of games by Texas, the soft defense of A&M – whois giving up an average of nearly 35 points per game over their last four – should make this a game where the last team that scores, wins. I see this coming down to the wire, Texas 33 – Texas A&M 30
Take Texas +8.5
NFL
Green Bay at Detroit
Favorite: Green Bay -6
O/U: 55
After starting the year 5-0, the Lions are 2-3 over their last 5. More worrisome to me is that their much hyped defense has been giving up points and yards lately. Something I expect the Packers to exploit. All keep in mind that 2 of the Lions 3 losses have come at home. This one should be a run-and-gun until the final whistle. Green Bay 42 – Detroit 33
Take Green Bay -6
Miami at Dallas
Favorite: Dallas -7
O/U: 45
Miami has shown signs of life lately, but I think the resurging Cowboys have too many weapons. Dallas 30 – Miami 17
Take Dallas -7
San Francisco at Baltimore
Favorite: Baltimore -3.5
O/U: 40
Flacco’s inconsistency worries me this season especially going up against the 49ers who have a +17 turnover margin. San Francisco 28 – Baltimore 24
Take San Francisco +3.5
