COWBOYS at COMMANDERS
1 p.m., Cowboys by 6 ½, 49 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: Odds are towards Marcus Mariota enjoying on a brief week after sustaining hand and quad accidents Saturday and we noticed sufficient of Josh Johnson to know we don’t need to see him in a shootout towards Dak Prescott, who will likely be annihilating this slow-footed Washington protection as his receivers run across the lot. Sure, Dallas can match horrible defenses with anybody however the Commanders’ harm woes prolong alongside the offensive line, as nicely. The Cowboys’ defensive power is an honest go rush that may rattle Johnson. Most Cowboys video games go over however we don’t see the Commanders placing up many factors. Prescott isn’t fairly as dynamic open air and there may come a time the place the Boys take their foot off the gasoline within the second half.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Cowboys and the beneath.
LIONS at VIKINGS
4:30 p.m., Lions by 6, 45 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: The Lions took a intestine punch on that remaining play towards the Steelers to proceed a disappointing season. Their slim playoff possibilities now relaxation with different outcomes over the weekend. For now, nonetheless, all they will do is win their Thursday sport and if there’s something we learn about a Dan Campbell workforce is that they are going to play arduous to the tip. They’re getting an enormous Christmas present with Max Brosmer getting the decision at QB, which is able to drive Kevin O’Connell to enter a shell and hope they will run the ball because the Steelers did. Nevertheless, accidents to RB Jordan Mason and C Ryan Kelly will additional hamper a Minny offense that struggled to maneuver the ball towards the Giants. Jared Goff is infamously dangerous when rushed straight up, however he’s good towards the blitz and that’s how the Vikings create their strain. The indoor monitor received’t sluggish them down.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Lions and the beneath.
BRONCOS at CHIEFS
8:15 p.m., Broncos by 13, 37 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: The Broncos haven’t lined any huge numbers and but they proceed to be overvalued. The Chiefs had their post-Mahomes letdown final week but it surely wasn’t simple getting up for a street sport in Nashville. After being embarrassed, they determine to point out some delight right here towards a divisional rival in a prime-time dwelling sport, the place their protection has allowed a median of 15 ppg. Denver, too, will likely be in bounce-back mode, however the odds of an offensive blowout are restricted by the mediocre quarterback play of Bo Nix. Chris Oladokun did some issues nicely in aid of Gardner Minshew and Andy Reid will be capable of scheme a sport plan that permits him to play inside himself. The Chiefs will play to maintain this one shut. No approach these veterans let the Broncos rise up by two TDs.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Chiefs and the over.
