Detroit Lions vs. Buffalo Bills: +625

Bills -9.5 (-110)

With this under 10 points, we strongly lean toward the Bills. The Lions have had some excellent outings lately, beating the Chicago Bears and New York Giants, but those are severely flawed teams.

Meanwhile, the Bills have an offense that will be hard to control.

The passing game with Josh Allen is easily one of the best in the league, and they’re getting a bit of an identity running the ball with James Cook as of last week. 

The Lions are without cornerback Jeff Okudah in this one, which leaves two cornerbacks, Amani Oruwariye and Jerry Jacobs, starting on the outside. 

Oruwariye has been atrocious this season, allowing a 75% reception rate and four touchdowns. Jacobs isn’t that experienced this season, playing only 120 snaps or so at outside cornerback.

The Lions offense has played well when they can be more balanced. Still, without the ground game from D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams, this Bills defense should be able to manipulate Jared Goff. 

Stefon Diggs Any Time TD (-160)

This one is simple: Diggs will face two corners—one with little playing time and one that is not good.

We saw in Week 11 that Diggs went without a target, let alone a touchdown. He was on the sideline, visibly upset, and talking to coaches.

Well, he rebounded and scored.

In this matchup, on Thanksgiving Day, you better believe he’ll get plenty of work here, especially against such easy competition. 

James Cook Any Time TD (+215)

Cook has been used sparingly this year, but in Week 11, he got the most action since their Week 2 demolition over the Tennessee Titans.

On 11 carries, Cook had 86 yards.

Against the Lions, the Bills should lead this one relatively easily, unlocking opportunities in the running game.

The Bills have seen Devin Singletary back there for years and know what he can do. However, Cook has a rushing style that will be great for racking up yards and putting a game away.

Don’t be surprised to see Cook with 15+ carries in this one. Based on volume alone, he’s an excellent bet for a touchdown.
