NFL predictions for Thanksgiving Day are top of mind for me.
My wife and I decided that it would be a good idea to host Thanksgiving dinner at our house — a feast that includes 26 people.
I know, real smart.
This means that I’ll be waking up early to get the turkey in the oven and to start cranking on various appetizers, side dishes and desserts.
Needing a distraction from the stress of managing the holiday, I turned to the Action Network’s PRO Report to determine the smartest NFL predictions for Thursday’s Thanksgiving games, including Packers vs. Lions and Commanders vs. Cowboys.

Packers vs. Lions Prediction

Packers vs. Lions is a classic case of action from respected bettors forcing oddsmakers to make market-wide line adjustments.
Let me explain.
This total posted at 45.5, and wiseguys were quick to pounce on the over.
Action Labs’ Bet Signals are reporting multiple steam moves on the Packers vs. Lions over, helping to explain why the total has moved up to a consensus of 47.
In addition, one of the Action Network’s top NFL bettors is also banking on a higher-scoring game, aligning our expert with the sharps.

Commanders vs. Cowboys Prediction
4:30 p.m. ET | CBS
Commanders vs. Cowboys is essentially a carbon copy of the action just described with Packers vs. Lions — just with more odds movement.
After opening at 45.5 on Sunday, sharps steamed the over three separate times, rocketing the line up to 48.5 and even to 49 in some spots.
And just like Packers vs. Lions above, one of our NFL experts has taken a position on the Commanders vs. Cowboys over as well.
PRO Report Prediction: Over 48.5
