It was the second straight game in which Dak Prescott threw for 300+ yards as he is taking advantage of having the best wide receiver duo in the NFL right now with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.The Lions secondary would have seen a huge boost if free safety Kerby Joseph were able to return from his knee injury, which has kept him sidelined since Week 6. He practiced Monday, but he has already been ruled out for tonight’s game, meaning his next possible chance to return is Week 15.Brian Branch (toe) is listed questionable with a toe injury that he has played through for a few weeks now. He should be expected to play, but if he is ruled out, that would be a massive injury that would likely move the spread down to Cowboys +2.5, and the total could go up 0.5-1 points.The Cowboys' run game has been solid this year — with Javonte Williams being a pleasant surprise — but they have desperately needed a backup to step up after Miles Sanders’ season-ending toe injury, and with rookie Jaydon Blue being a healthy scratch most weeks.Malik Davis stepped up in a big way (3/47/1) against the Chiefs. The Cowboys might consider giving him a bit more work going forward to keep Williams fresh and possibly boost efficiency even more.However, this is a tougher matchup against the Lions’ run defense, led by linebacker Jack Campbell, which ranks seventh in DVOA against the run.The expectation is that the Cowboys will lean pass-heavy in this matchup, and left tackle Tyler Guyton is out again for this game, meaning Nate Carter will fill in again.Carter has struggled mightily, allowing pressure on Prescott's blindside, and he was also a liability in the run game last week. There could be a few plays tonight where having a backup left tackle slows the Cowboys offense on key snaps.Referee Shawn Hochuli’s tendencies could also be a factor in slowing down the Cowboys at key times.When the Lions Have the BallThe Lions’ offensive line has been a serious concern over the last few weeks. They have struggled to protect Jared Goff, who was under pressure on 47% of his dropbacks last week, the third-highest rate in Week 13.It was against the Packers’ pass rush, but the Lions' line has also dealt with injuries, with left guard Christian Mahogany on injured reserve, and Taylor Decker, Kayode Awosika, Graham Glasgow and Penei Sewell all questionable tonight. Everyone could suit up, but if one or two of them are ruled out, especially Sewell, that would be a massive blow.Frank Ragnow was reportedly attempting to return from retirement, but he failed his physical because of a grade-3 hamstring tear. It was notable that he thought he could return that quickly while dealing with an injury that clearly needed immediate medical attention.Regardless, the line could be an issue again tonight against a Cowboys defense that has been much improved since adding Quinnen Williams before the trade deadline.The Cowboys have also upgraded at linebacker, adding Logan Wilson from the Bengals and getting DeMarvion Overshown back from injury. Kenneth Murray Jr. had been struggling this season, so getting much-needed upgrades at linebacker has helped the Cowboys defense.The Lions’ skill positions are also dealing with uncertainties.Amon-Ra St. Brown is listed as questionable with a low ankle sprain that knocked him out early in the Thanksgiving game. He has not practiced yet this week, and the team is waiting as long as possible to rule him out.If this were a Sunday game, that would increase his likelihood to return and play, but on a short week, his status is much tougher to project. He could be closer to doubtful.Sam LaPorta remains on injured reserve. Backup tight end Brock Wright and third wide receiver and punt returner Kalif Raymond are also out again.The Lions could be missing a significant number of key offensive players and the current version of the Cowboys defense is much better than their season-long metrics would indicate.Cowboys vs Lions Best Bet: Total Under 55.5A previous bet on the first-half under 27.5 for the Cowboys-Chiefs game did not hit last week, but nearly everything went wrong for the first quarter and a half, and it still almost stayed under before a long 43-yard touchdown run with three minutes left in the half sealed it. If the Cowboys had not scored that touchdown and settled for a field goal, it would have stayed under 27.5.The sun-related angle at AT&T Stadium factored in a couple times — most notably on a potential big play that George Pickens missed and clearly blamed on the sun being in his eyes. That helped slow down each offense at times. Even if a few key factors work in favor of an under, it does not guarantee a game will actually stay under the total.Both teams played in games that went over in record-setting national TV games on Thanksgiving, including the Chiefs-Cowboys game, which was the most-watched regular-season NFL game ever. The market is expecting a ton of points; the projection also expects plenty of scoring.The total has reached 54.5, nearly the highest number seen these days. The projection for the total is closer to 53, which shows slight value on the under, but many of the key factors laid out above could help this game sneak under the total.The officiating crew could play a sneaky part. This game will be officiated by Shawn Hochuli, who is the most profitable under referee since 2021, with the under hitting at a 46-28 (61%) clip in his games for a significant positive return.Not every trend is treated like gospel — many trends scream louder than their sample size deserves, and most are waiting to regress back toward the average. That said, the 2025 result of 7-5 to the under (58%) still qualifies as a strong signal.Hochuli's crew has consistently called false starts at a top-five rate nearly every season. This year, they are doing it more than ever, currently averaging 3.3 per game.The Cowboys, especially in road games with crowd noise, are often the team most impacted by that particular penalty. The Lions' offensive line has been excellent at limiting false starts, but if one or two of their starters are ruled out tonight, it could disrupt their cadence enough for Hochuli’s crew, which has been strict enforcing pre-snap penalties, to call a few more than usual.The same idea applies to offensive holding calls, another drive-killing penalty, where Hochuli’s games have generally been above average in holding call rates. The Cowboys have committed offensive holding at the fourth-highest rate this year. If Detroit is down a couple offensive line starters, it could create more holding and pre-snap issues than usual.A couple of extra false start or holding calls do not guarantee the game stays under 54.5, but historically, those are the flags worth monitoring and those are the kinds of small cracks that could slow things down just enough to give the under a shot considering that Hochuli games have gone under at a high rate over the last few years.The Cowboys' and Lions' red-zone touchdown percentage allowed both rank bottom six on the season. Red-zone touchdown percentage tends to bounce around and often regresses toward the league average over time, so either defense allowing fewer red-zone touchdowns than their current rate is likely going forward.The total might still soar over 54.5, but there are enough small factors that could tighten things just a bit. If a bettor is holding an over 54.5 ticket, nearly everything needs to go perfectly.The market is likely going to continue to bet heavily on the over, so this is a game where it can make sense to wait and see if it gets bet up to 55-55.5, as there are not many key numbers in this range and 55 is one of them.Pick: Under 55.5.Cowboys vs Lions Player PropsJavonte Williams Under 16.5 Rush Attempts (-121)Williams has been a pleasant surprise for the Cowboys this season, handling a massive workload for most of the year without a true backup the team could trust.Last week, Malik Davis posted a solid 3/47/1 line, which makes it possible Dallas uses him more on early downs to keep Williams fresh. This is also a matchup against a pass-funnel Lions defense; the expectation is that the Cowboys will lean on their pass game more, especially with Prescott, Pickens and Lamb all playing at a high level.Dallas also likes mixing in non-running backs for an occasional rush, so players like Lamb, Hunter Luepke and KaVontae Turpin could quietly chip away at Williams' chances. Turpin had three designed rushes last week, and the team has been dialing up more work for him in the run game in general, which adds another path to lost volume for Williams.With Turpin and Davis possibly eating into the early down share opportunities, plus the likelihood of more pass-leaning play calls, Williams is projected closer to 15.7 rushing attempts, with about a 60% chance to stay under 16.5.Every rush attempt in these markets matters a great deal, and Hochuli's staff potentially calling more false starts and holding penalties could negatively impact Williams as well.The most likely outcome is 15 rushing attempts about 10% of the time. Getting under 16.5 before this drops to 15.5 is considered a key edge. At 15.5, it would be closer to a coin flip.Amik Robertson Over 3.5 Tackles + Assists (-131)Amik Robertson has cleared 3.5 tackles plus assists in three games this season, but he was not a full-time player until Week 5. Since becoming a regular, he has only had one plus matchup, Week 6 against the Bengals, where he logged six tackles.Robertson's schedule since then has been difficult for a cornerback, but he gets a strong spot tonight against the Cowboys, who have supplied, by far, the most tackle opportunities for opposing corners, which makes sense given how much volume funnels through Pickens and Lamb.The Lions use man coverage at the second-highest rate in the league and Robertson is expected to have plenty of tackle chances on Pickens and Lamb catches. Detroit is also expected to face more completions than its season-long average, giving Robertson even more chances to get to the ball.This is considered a strong spot. Simulations project Robertson finishing over 3.5 about 70% of the time, with fair odds closer to 4.5 tackles at around -130, suggesting the line of 3.5 is about one full tackle off.Cowboys vs Lions Viewing InformationLocation: Ford Field in Detroit, Mich.Date: Thursday, Dec. 4.Time: 8:15 p.m. ET.TV and streaming options: Prime Video.Additional NotesFor the latest on NFL injuries, bettors can consult a dedicated injury report page.Weather information is also available on specialized NFL weather pages to help inform betting decisions.

He went off for a career high of 227 yards across 13 grabs, while the four-time Pro Bowler had 112 yards on Thanksgiving versus Kansas City last week. With Detroit starting CB, Terrion Arnold, just placed on IR, Lamb should have another big game versus the Lions.RB Javonte Williams, Cowboys, 61.5 rushing yards - MoreThe veteran has gone over 61.5 rushing yards in eight of 12 games this season, as he's averaging 79.6 rushing yards on the season.

Thanksgiving NFL betting overviewTurkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie … complaining kids … bickering relatives.Thanksgiving truly is a tradition like no other. Thankfully, that tradition also includes a delicious distraction: wall-to-wall NFL action — both on the field and at the wagering window.With the holiday in mind, we’re dishing out a feast of Turkey Day-related NFL betting trends amid our breakdown of this year’s Thanksgiving weekend matchups, capped off by a Black Friday battle between NFC division leaders.All listed odds are via BetMGM and subject to change.Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (-2.5, 48.5)Kickoff: Thursday, 1 p.m. ETMoney line: Packers +125/Lions -150With the exception of a five-year stretch during World War II, the Lions have hosted a Thanksgiving Day game every year since 1934.They’re 38-44-2 all-time on the holiday, with last year’s 23-20 victory over Chicago snapping a seven-game Turkey Day losing skid.However, Detroit failed to cover as a hefty 9.5-point favorite against the Bears, falling to 3-5 ATS in its last eight Thanksgiving contests (0-2 ATS as a favorite).Green Bay is 15-18-2 when playing on Thanksgiving, including 14-17-2 on the road.Most recently, the Packers defeated Miami 30-17 in last year’s prime-time Thanksgiving contest, easily covering as 3.5-point favorites.Green Bay has faced the Lions on Thanksgiving seven times this century, going 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS.Overall, though, Detroit is on a 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS roll in this NFC North rivalry dating to Week 18 of the 2021 season.The Lions needed overtime to fend off the New York Giants in Week 12, prevailing 34-27 in a game that featured 1,011 yards of offense.Detroit never threatened to cover as a 14-point home favorite, ending a lengthy (and impressive) NFL betting trend: The Lions, who were coming off a Week 11 loss at Philadelphia, had covered in 13 consecutive games following a defeat.Instead, Detroit has now failed to cash in back-to-back games for the first time since an 0-3 ATS slide that started exactly a year ago (Weeks 13-15).Green Bay is coming off consecutive victories over the Giants (27-20) and Vikings (23-6).By easily cashing as a 6.5-point favorite against Minnesota on Sunday, the Packers halted a three-game spread-covering slump.Still, Green Bay remains just 2-7 ATS in its last nine overall, and 1-4 ATS away from Lambeau Field this year (but 3-1-1 SU).The over cashed in eight of 11 Thanksgiving games at Ford Field from 2010-2020. However, since 2021, the under is 3-1.During this 15-year stretch, the Lions and their Thanksgiving opponents have cleared 48 points nine times — but just twice since 2021.Then again, Detroit and Green Bay have topped 50 points in seven of their last 11 head-to-head clashes (including four of five in the Motor City).Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5, 52) at Dallas CowboysKickoff: Thursday, 4:25 p.m. ETMoney line: Chiefs -190/Cowboys +155With the exception of 1975 and 1977, the Cowboys have hosted a Thanksgiving Day game every season for the last 60 years, going 34-22-1.Dallas is currently riding a three-game Thanksgiving winning streak (2-1 ATS). In the previous dozen years, though, the Cowboys played like a turkey, going 4-8 on the field and 2-10 at the betting counter.Meanwhile, the Chiefs have played on Thanksgiving just 10 times in franchise history and only once in the last 30 years: In 2006, they defeated Denver 19-10 as one-point home favorites in the first-ever Thanksgiving night contest.This marks just the second time since 2011 that Dallas will be an underdog on Thanksgiving. The only other instance was in 2017, when the Chargers traveled to Arlington, Texas, and won 28-6 as one-point favorites.Going back to 1998, the Cowboys are 1-5 SU and 3-3 ATS as a Turkey Day ’dog.Dallas erased a 21-0 deficit in Week 12 and stunned Philadelphia 24-21 as a 3-point underdog, matching the biggest comeback in franchise history.The Cowboys, who were coming off a 33-16 rout of the Raiders, have won consecutive games for the first time all season. The last time Dallas won as many as three in a row: a five-game winning streak from Weeks 10-14 of 2023.The Cowboys went 4-1 ATS during that stretch, cashing in three straight contests from Weeks 10-12. That stands as the team’s most recent 3-0 ATS run.Kansas City also rallied for a Week 12 win, climbing out of a 20-9 fourth-quarter hole against Indianapolis and eking out a 23-20 overtime victory.The triumph followed back-to-back upset losses at Buffalo (28-21) and Denver (22-19). However, the Chiefs came up short as 4.5-point favorites against the Colts, their third straight non-cover.Including a season-opening game against the Chargers in Brazil, Kansas City is 1-4 SU and ATS away from home in 2025 — all as a favorite.A totals-related NFL betting trend that bears mentioning: The under has cashed in each of Kansas City’s last six games, with all six falling short of 50 points.The Chiefs haven’t had a 7-0 “under” stretch since Weeks 7-13 of the 2011 season — two years before head coach Andy Reid arrived and seven years before Patrick Mahomes took over as the team’s starting quarterback.Then again, all five of Dallas’ Thanksgiving games this decade have cleared the total. Combined points scored: 57, 69, 48, 55 and 47.Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens (-7, 52)Kickoff: Thursday, 8 p.m. ETMoney line: Bengals +280/Ravens -350The NFL added a new holiday tradition in 2006 when it introduced a third game to its Thanksgiving menu and slotted it in prime time.With the exception of 2020, the Thanksgiving night contest has been played every year since and resulted in this related (and eye-popping) NFL betting trend:Favorites are 15-3 SU and 14-4 ATS, including eight consecutive wins and covers.Additionally, 12 of the 18 prime-time Thanksgiving games have stayed under the total, including eight of the last 10.Cincinnati’s only Thanksgiving appearance was in 2010, when it lost 26-10 to the Jets as a 9.5-point underdog.The Ravens have played twice on Turkey Day, and both occasions were at home in prime time. They topped San Francisco 16-6 as a 3.5-point favorite in 2011, then defeated archrival Pittsburgh 22-20 as a 3-point favorite two years later.The latter contest is the only time in 18 Thanksgiving night battles that the winner failed to cover the point spread.Baltimore ran its winning streak to five in a row with Sunday’s 23-10 rout of the Jets. However, the Ravens came up just short as 14-point favorites, ending a 3-0 ATS uptick.Meanwhile, the Bengals have dropped four in a row, the latest being a 26-20 home loss to New England in Week 12. Since starting the season with back-to-back wins over Cleveland and Jacksonville, Cincy has lost eight of nine.The Bengals did cover as 7.5-point underdogs against the Patriots, but remain just 4-7 ATS for the season (3-5 ATS as an underdog).From 2022-2024, the Ravens went 11-2 SU and 9-4 ATS in prime-time games. However, they’re 1-2 SU and ATS under the national spotlight this season.Cincinnati has split its eight prime-time games both SU and ATS since the start of last year, going 1-1 SU and ATS this season.The Ravens have won four in a row in this AFC North rivalry (3-1 ATS). Going back to the second meeting of the 2018 campaign, Baltimore is 10-3 against Cincinnati on the scoreboard but has cashed just six times.During this 13-game stretch, the Bengals lost six of seven in Baltimore, but they’re 5-2 ATS.Baltimore’s first five games this season jumped the closing total, but the under is 4-2 in its last six. Also, the under is 3-1-1 in Cincinnati’s road games.On the flip side of the NFL betting trends ledger, the over is 4-2 in games played at M&T Bank Stadium in 2025. What’s more, the over is 7-2 in the last nine Bengals-Ravens battles, with the last five in a row hurdling the total.Final scores of the last four meetings: 27-24, 34-20, 41-38 and 35-34.Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles (-7, 44.5)Kickoff: Friday, 8:20 p.m. ETMoney line: Bears +260/Eagles -325The NFL’s most recent addition to the Thanksgiving weekend docket was the advent of a “Black Friday” game two years ago.The Dolphins won the inaugural contest in 2023, blasting the Jets 34-13 as 9.5-point road favorites.Last year, the Chiefs edged the Raiders 19-17 but never came close to cashing as 13.5-point home favorites.Chicago has assumed sole possession of first place in the NFC North thanks to an 8-1 heater that includes an ongoing four-game winning streak.The Bears won those four games by a combined 14 points, with the most recent nail-biter being Sunday’s 31-28 home victory over Pittsburgh as 2.5-point favorites.Throw in back-to-back 25-24 road wins over the Raiders and Commanders, and six of Chicago’s eight victories have been by a total of 16 points.From an NFL betting trends perspective, the Bears have been bullish during their 8-1 SU roll, going 7-2 ATS (including 4-1 ATS on the road).Chicago also has been money as an underdog, posting 4-1 SU and ATS mark since an ugly 52-21 loss at Detroit in Week 2.The Eagles went to Dallas in Week 12 as 3-point favorites and scored three touchdowns in the game’s first 18.5 minutes. However, they got outscored 24-0 from there, with the final points coming on a 42-yard field goal as time expired.The loss snapped Philly’s four-game SU and ATS winning streak.It was the third straight time — and fifth time in the last seven games — that the Eagles offense tallied 21 points or less.On the bright side for the Eagles, they’re 4-1 at home this season (3-2 ATS). The only on-field blemish was a 21-17 Week 5 loss to Denver.Philadelphia also has defeated the Bears five straight times since 2013, going 4-1 ATS.The Eagles have followed 5-1 “over” stretch with a 3-0 “under” run.Conversely, Chicago has eclipsed the closing total in four of its six road games. Also, eight of the Bears’ 11 contests have featured at least 45 combined points (and another landed on 44).

Public Backs Browns in Rare Two-Win MatchupSunday saw no shortage of storylines stemming from NFL Week 12 odds.The Lions nearly blew up all the moneyline parlays of the public betting masses. The Chiefs nearly did likewise. And how about the Cowboys’ stunning comeback against the Eagles?Perhaps most interesting, though: The popularity of a two-win underdog on the road, facing another two-win team. Bettors normally don’t pay attention to such teams, but that wasn’t the case Sunday."Bettors couldn’t get enough of the Browns. The Raiders were our biggest need of the Sunday late kicks," said John Murray, vice president of The SuperBook. "I have to believe it’s because the Raiders didn’t play well last Monday night, and Cleveland having a much better defense, getting points."So, it wasn’t the public getting swayed by Shedeur Sanders’ first NFL start?"It’s hard for me to believe people saw Sanders last week and said, ‘I want to bet on that guy,’" Murray said, alluding to the rookie QB’s showing off the bench in a loss to Baltimore.Regardless, bettors were on the right side. More on that matchup and the weekend that was, as oddsmakers at sportsbooks across the country recap NFL and college football betting.Son of Prime Leads Browns, Defense DominatesSanders’ Browns closed as 3-point underdogs vs. the Raiders. Cleveland got out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead on two Quinshon Judkins touchdown runs and ultimately won 24-10.The highlight for Sanders: A swing pass to Dylan Sampson that turned into a 66-yard fourth-quarter touchdown. But it wasn’t as if Deion Sanders’ son went haywire. He finished just 11-of-20 for 209 yards, with one TD pass and one interception.Meanwhile, Cleveland’s defense didn’t give up a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter. So there’s certainly something to Murray’s analysis. The Browns recorded 10 sacks, including three from Myles Garrett.The Cowboys — more on them a little later — always take plenty of bets, and were playing in the same time slot as the Browns on Sunday. And yet …"The Cowboys were popular, but the Browns were even more so, at least in terms of dollars," SuperBook risk manager Casey Degnon said. "We needed the Raiders to win and cover."And that was at one of the biggest sportsbooks in Vegas, home of the Raiders. Nationally, Cleveland proved to be a popular play, as well."There are tons of Browns bets today," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said, just before kickoff.Assuming Sanders starts in Week 13 at home against the 49ers, we’ll see if Browns action actually becomes a trend.Moneyline Parlays and Overtime EscapesEach Sunday of the NFL season, oddsmakers lament that if they can’t beat moneyline parlays, then it’s likely going to be a good day for the public betting masses.That was the case Sunday.Sure, quite a few underdogs covered the point spread — eight in all, including three outright winners — but sportsbooks typically need to see at least one popular favorite lose outright, and that didn’t happen."Anytime you have a lot of favorites winning, the moneyline parlays are going to add up," Degnon said.The Lions, 14-point home favorites vs. the Giants, shockingly didn’t lead for even one second of regulation. But Detroit tied the game at 27 on a last-minute field goal, then won 34-27 in overtime.The Chiefs were a much smaller home favorite of -4.5 vs. the Colts. Like New York, Kansas City didn’t lead once in regulation but tied it at 20 on a final-second field goal, then won 23-20 in overtime.Other popular teams also delivered wins, most notably the Patriots, Ravens, Seahawks and Rams, with L.A. the only one of those four to cover the spread. But Degnon said the Rams’ 34-7 blowout of the Buccaneers on Sunday night provided a little relief."It was a losing day for us overall," Degnon said. "But keeping that game below 50 points, even with the Rams scoring 34 points, was a better ending to the day than we thought we were getting."The Bucs winning would’ve been a better result. But Rams and Under was actually a winning outcome. The total was a big swing for us."Cowboys’ Comeback Adds to Bookmakers’ PainDallas entered Week 12 at a lackluster 4-5-1 straight up (SU) and 5-5 against the spread (ATS). Yet the Cowboys were a trendy home underdog, against an Eagles squad that was 8-2 SU/7-3 ATS.Key reasons why: Philadelphia scored just 26 points across its previous two games, while Dallas tends to score plenty of points. And the public betting masses love points.However, in this instance, Dallas — a 3-point ‘dog — ended up in a 21-0 second-quarter hole and looked as cooked as a Thanksgiving turkey. But the Cowboys didn’t give up another score, rallying for a 24-21 victory that ended on a 42-yard Brandon Aubrey field goal as time expired.So that was another W for the bettors. South Point sportsbook director Chris Andrews echoed the sentiments of several bookmakers."Dallas-Philly was a huge, huge game. We needed the Eagles to win by more than 3," Andrews said.That matchup, coupled with the Browns’ modest road upset, help seal The SuperBook’s fate for the day."The late games didn’t go our way. Not a good day for us. On to Week 13 we go," Murray said.College Football Bettors Cash with Oregon and TexasCollege football Week 13 odds didn’t have a legit marquee matchup. But a couple of big brand names still drew plenty of action, and BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said bettors generally had a good day."Oregon and Texas covering were huge results for BetMGM players," Magee said.Oregon was a 10.5-point home favorite vs. USC and won 42-27. Texas got into a high-scoring shootout with Arkansas and prevailed 52-37 as a 9.5-point home favorite.BetMGM got a little money back on the Saturday night ACC clash between Pittsburgh and Georgia Tech. The Panthers were 2.5-point road underdogs and took out the Yellow Jackets 42-28."Pitt outright over Georgia Tech bailed us out of a tough day," Magee said, adding that Oklahoma’s 17-6 win over Missouri was helpful too, with the Sooners 4.5-point home favorites. "We took an ocean of money on Mizzou in the last half hour before kickoff. It was a mix of public money and a few high-stakes bets."

Carroll pushes back on play-calling criticismRaiders coach Pete Carroll pushed back on a recent report that Chip Kelly’s time as offensive coordinator included some game-day gaffes.“There is no truth to the comments about Chip and any play-calling issues,” Carroll told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Thursday in a text message.Kelly’s firing and offensive strugglesKelly was fired Sunday after the Raiders fell to 2-9 and his offense managed to produce just 15 points per game.Soon after his dismissal, reports surfaced indicating Kelly was botching play calls at times.During an appearance on the “Rich Eisen Show,” Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network said: “I was told where Chip Kelly was repeatedly botching the play calls. He’s supposed to be, for instance, tagging a motion on a play so the receiver’s on the left, not the right. He forgets to say it, so Geno Smith’s going to the line of scrimmage and going ‘This doesn’t look right.’ There’s times where Chip, I was told, on several occasions called a play that was either not in the game plan or not installed at all.”Carroll made it clear that those reports were not accurate.Why the Raiders moved on from KellyAt the core of Kelly’s dismissal was the Raiders’ minimal production, with the offense showing few signs of progress, and the ongoing differences between Carroll and Kelly on game planning that accentuated the Raiders’ strengths and mitigated their weaknesses.“We worked for a long time trying to come together and communicating so it fits the style of play that we want to play with,” Carroll said. “And we didn’t quite get it.”Carroll is hoping a change in offensive leadership will rectify those issues.“It’s trying to get everybody connected with the approach and the philosophy that really I’ve stood for for a long time,” Carroll said. “And so, we gave our guys a lot of leeway because of with the respect we have for the coaches, but it just hasn’t quite gotten right, and I think we can do better.”Greg Olson steps in as play callerKelly was replaced on an interim basis by Greg Olson, who was promoted from quarterbacks coach. Olson, now in his third stint as the Raiders’ play caller, will make his debut Sunday when the team plays at the Los Angeles Chargers.Olson said the focus is on being more efficient rather than making sweeping changes.“At this point, there’s not a lot that you would change in terms of how we’re calling things, terminology-wise. But there are things, tweaks that you can make, and certainly that we’re making to try and be more efficient, because we haven’t been efficient enough,” Olson said Thursday. “It goes through it back to a lot of different reasons as to why, but at this point with six games to go, we will make some tweaks, but there won’t be a lot of wholesale changes that you’ll see.”Carroll’s expectations for the offenseCarroll said it’s a matter of doing things at a higher level, including protecting quarterback Geno Smith better.“I’d love to see us be really clean with what we’re doing,” Carroll said. “Again, utilize our guys. Want to see just the tempo of everything to be where it’s supposed to be, and hopefully we can protect the quarterback so he has a chance and we’ll do that in a variety of ways. But I’d just like to see us cleaner, operate with an urgency that gives us a chance.”Raiders-Chargers matchup detailsUp nextWho: Raiders at ChargersWhen: 1:25 p.m. SundayWhere: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, Calif.TV: CBSRadio: KRLV-AM (920), KOMP-FM (92.3), KXNT-AM (840)Line: Chargers -10; total 41

Fantasy Football PrimerSALE SALE SALE! Everything must go, except for fantasy points. Every phone battery in the world will be on life support this week as the world scrambles to knock out all of their Christmas shopping and fantasy lineup decisions in one fell swoop. We have a wonderful game on tap to cap off the holiday football action and vault us into the weekend.Which version of A.J. Brown do we get this week? Can Saquon Barkley get going, finally? Will Caleb Williams look like a piece of pumpkin pie left out overnight, or can he overcome a tough matchup?We shall see. Let’s set some fantasy football lineups.Chicago Bears vs. Philadelphia EaglesPHI -7, O/U 44.5Bears Players & Weekly RankingsPlayerPositionFantasy RankingCaleb WilliamsQBQB1/2D’Andre SwiftRBRB2Kyle MonangaiRBRB2/3Rome OdunzeWRWR2DJ MooreWRWR3Luther BurdenWRWR4Colston LovelandTETE2Cole KmetTETE2Eagles Players & Weekly RankingsPlayerPositionFantasy RankingJalen HurtsQBQB1Saquon BarkleyRBRB1/2A.J. BrownWRWR1DeVonta SmithWRWR2Jahan DotsonWRWR5Dallas GoedertTETE1Must-Start PlayersThese are no-brainer MUST starts.Jalen HurtsSaquon BarkleyStrong StartsHere are players that should be in starting consideration for most fantasy teams.A.J. Brown (WR)A.J. Brown has seen his season-long stock rise as he’s the WR25 in fantasy points per game. He has a 25.7% target share with 56.7 receiving yards per game, 1.85 yards per route run, and a 35% first-read share. Brown ranks second on the team in deep targets with 13, but he leads the team in red zone targets with ten. Since Week 6, Chicago has had the 11th-highest single high rate (54.3%). Against single high, Brown has feasted with a 31.6% target share, 2.51 yards per route run, and a 40% first-read share. Since Week 7, Chicago has toughened up against perimeter wide receivers, giving up the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game. Brown has the talent to overcome it, especially with the favorable single high matchup.DeVonta Smith (WR)DeVonta Smith has been humming along this season as the WR20 in fantasy points per game with a 25.6% target share, 68.5 receiving yards per game, 2.18 yards per route run, and a 31.4% first-read share. Smith ranks second on the team with seven red zone targets, but he leads Philly with 17 deep targets. Since Week 6, Chicago has had the 11th-highest single high rate (54.3%). Against single high, Smith has had strong numbers with a 25.3% target share, 2.12 yards per route run, and a 32% first-read share. Smith should have another solid game this week against a Bears secondary that, since Week 7, has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to slot receivers.Rome Odunze (WR)Rome Odunze is the WR22 in fantasy points per game with a 22.4% target share, 59.4 receiving yards per game, 1.94 yards per route run, and a 27.2% first-read share. He’s had an up-and-down season, which can be attributed to his quarterbacks’ play. Odunze leads the team with ten red zone targets and 22 deep targets. The Eagles have had a strong defense, but they have been giving up production to perimeter wide receivers. Since Week 7, they have allowed the third-most receiving yards per game and the 12th-most fantasy points per game to the position. If Caleb Williams can weather the storm in the pocket this week, Odunze should have a nice stat line.DJ Moore (WR)DJ Moore had a standout game in Week 12, but that hasn’t been the case for most of 2025. Moore is the WR41 in fantasy points per game with a 15.3% target share, a 21.3% air-yard share, 44.1 receiving yards per game, 1.50 yards per route run, and a 17.5% first-read share. Moore is third on the team with six red zone targets and second with ten deep targets. He’s a solid flex play this week that could stack another nice game. The Eagles have had a strong defense, but they have been giving up production to perimeter wide receivers. Since Week 7, they have allowed the third-most receiving yards per game and the 12th-most fantasy points per game to the position.Fantasy Football Flex & Deep Plays to ConsiderLet’s fill out those flex spots.Dallas Goedert (TE)Dallas Goedert is the TE10 in fantasy points per game with a 17.8% target share, 37.6 receiving yards per game, 1.36 yards per route run, and a 19.7% first-read share. Goedert is tied for second on the team with seven red zone targets while ranking fourth in deep targets (six). Goedert should flirt with TE1 production this week again against a Bears defense that has allowed the tenth-most receiving yards per game to tight ends while ranking 14th in fantasy points per game given up.Concerning Starts & Players to FadePlayers in consideration for lineups, but temper your expectations this week.Caleb Williams (QB)Caleb Williams might be the QB9 in fantasy points per game, but his weekly volatility has been well-documented this season. He has been helping his weekly floor, though, with seven games with at least 20 rushing yards and three rushing scores. Among 45 qualifying passers, he ranks 20th in yards per attempt, 36th in highly accurate throw rate, 40th in catchable target rate, and 34th in hero throw rate. This week, “bad Caleb” is expected to show up as he faces this Philly pass defense, which has been a buzzsaw. Since Week 7, they have allowed the third-fewest passing touchdowns, the seventh-lowest passer rating, and the 12th-lowest adjusted completion rate. Williams won’t have much time in the pocket this week as Philly has had the fifth-best pressure rate across their last five games.D’Andre Swift (RB)Since Week 10, Swift has averaged 16 touches and 72 total yards per game while playing 53.5% of the snaps with a 39.1% route share and a 9.7% target share. Last week, Swift did take a backseat to Kyle Monangai as his snap rate fell to 41% with a 36.8% route share (still led the team) and only one red zone rushing attempt (Monangai had five). It is unclear if this is a one-off or a changing of the guard in the Chicago backfield. This usage pattern in Week 13 casts some doubt upon Swift’s unquestioned lead-back status for the Bears. Among 54 qualifying backs, Swift ranks 14th in explosive run rate and 20th in missed tackle rate. Swift has a horrible matchup this week. Since Week 8, Philly has allowed the second-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the sixth-lowest rushing success rate.Kyle Monangai (RB)Since Week 10, Kyle Monangai has averaged 10.6 touches and 37.7 total yards with a 43.4% snap rate, a 30.4% route share, and a 1.9% target share. Last week could suggest there’s a changing of the guard in the Chicago backfield, though. Last week, Monangai still ranked second to D’Andre Swift in route share with 34.2% but he outsnapped him with a 55.7% snapshare. Monangai also had five red zone rushing attempts while Swift only saw one. Among 54 qualifying backs, Monangai ranks 21st in yards after contact per attempt and 27th in explosive run rate. Monangai has a terrible matchup this week and will likely need a touchdown to pay off for fantasy. Since Week 8, Philly has allowed the second-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the sixth-lowest rushing success rate.Luther Burden (WR)Since Week 11, Luther Burden has taken over as Chicago’s starting slot receiver with a 56.8% route share, a 14.9% target share, 36.5 receiving yards per game, 1.74 yards per route run, and a 20.5% first-read share. He hasn’t drawn a red zone target or deep target in those two games. This isn’t the matchup to look to flex Burden against. Since Week 7, Philly has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target and the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game to slot receivers.Colston Loveland (TE)Over the last two games, Loveland has still been competing with Cole Kmet for playing time. He has had a 52.7% route share (Kmet, 55.4%) with a 13.4% target share, 44.5 receiving yards per game, 2.28 yards per route run, and a 13.6% first-read share. In his last two games, he has had two red zone targets and one end zone target. Loveland is not an ideal streaming option this week. The Eagles have shut down tight ends, giving up the second-fewest receiving yards per game and the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.All data utilized in this article is courtesy of Fantasy Points Data, PFF, FTN, rbsdm.com, and Playerprofiler.com unless otherwise specified.

Slate Overview and ToolsWe have a 12-game slate in Week 11, with lock at the usual 1:00 p.m. ET.In this article, various FantasyLabs tools and other industry metrics are used to break down the DFS slate.Players can use the Lineup Builder if they like to hand-build their lineups or the Lineup Optimizer for entering multiple lineups into tournaments.The SimLabs Lineup Generator gives users the ability to create advanced DFS lineups using the power of simulation.An in-depth SimLabs guide is also available for those who want to better understand how to leverage simulations in lineup construction.Projections are available for purchase within the FantasyLabs Models, with Chris Raybon’s projections included with a FantasyLabs subscription. Projections from One Week Season and Establish the Run are also available for subscribers to those specific sites, with the optimizer offered as a separate add-on feature.Users can combine multiple projection sources to create their own aggregate projections.NFL DFS Quarterback PicksStud: Drake Maye ($6,900) New England Patriots (-7) at Cincinnati Bengals (51.5 Total)With Josh Allen off the Week 12 main slate, Josh Allen Jr., AKA Drake Maye, holds down the top spot in the projections. Maye’s salary has risen to the point where his typical mid-20s DraftKings score probably will not win a tournament, but he is in an elite spot this week that gives him an excellent chance to score well above his typical range.The MVP candidate can get it done through the air or with his legs, with 20 passing touchdowns plus 285 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. New England has been one of the top Pass Rate Over Expectation (PROE) teams in the league this season, ranking sixth — right behind the Bengals at fifth.The Bengals are both an aggressive offense and the NFL’s worst defense, which makes for an elite combination for opposing offenses. This game should be fast, and the Patriots should be extremely efficient. While New England is favored by seven at the moment, there are also rumors that Joe Burrow will be back for the Bengals, which likely pushes the total up and the spread tighter if he returns.With this game already featuring the highest total on the board, Burrow’s return would push it into elite territory. That might be the deciding factor on whether to roster Maye heavily this week.Value: Jacoby Brissett ($5,300) Arizona Cardinals (+3) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (47.5 Total)There have now been five weeks of Jacoby Brissett starting for the Cardinals and five games with at least 20 DraftKings points. That was especially impressive last week, when he was able to get there without number one wide receiver Marvin Harrison — and it is a reassuring sign now that Harrison has been ruled out for Week 12 as well.A Brissett triple stack took down the Millionaire Maker last week, and he is still priced at just $5,300. At the rate things are going, by the time Brissett’s salary rises to the point that rostering him is a tough decision, Kyler Murray will likely be back for the Cardinals. Either way, he is far too cheap for a matchup with the Jaguars, who rank 27th in points allowed to quarterbacks.“Slight home underdog” might also be the sweet spot for quarterback production, with the Trends Tool showing that they outperform expectation when the game total is at least 45.Plus, a thin running back room has led to the Cardinals being one of the pass-heaviest teams in recent weeks, ranking fourth in PROE since Week 10, and Brissett attempting 40 or more passes in three of his five starts. That gives him a volume-based floor at worst, making him a cash-game lock. He is the clear leader in points-per-salary projection.Quick-Hit Quarterback OptionsPatrick Mahomes ($6,800) is tied with Maye for the best median projection on the slate, with a slightly lower ceiling. He and the Chiefs have shifted to a more pass-centric approach since getting healthy at wide receiver and now have a potential shootout on their hands with the fast-paced Colts. Mahomes has struggled the past two weeks in road games against the Bills and Broncos, but a home game against the Colts might be the perfect spot to get back on track.Jalen Hurts ($6,600) and the Eagles offense had little to do with their Sunday Night Football win over the Lions, who were even able to stop the “tush push” on multiple occasions. They have a drastically different matchup this week against the Cowboys’ 31st-ranked defense. The Eagles offense has struggled most of the season, but there is no better get-right spot than Dallas, making this a solid buy-low opportunity.Jared Goff ($6,000) completed just 14 of 37 pass attempts against the Eagles last week, but that was outdoors against a tough defense. He is back at home against the Giants, where his notorious indoor/outdoor splits are in his favor. The one downside might be that the Lions could run the ball all over the Giants and make the passing attack an afterthought. However, the loss of Sam LaPorta makes the passing offense more concentrated, so there is still a case for some exposure to Goff stacks. He and the Lions have the slate’s highest team total.NFL DFS Running Back PicksThe original article content transitions at this point into running back picks and additional positions, but that portion is not fully included in the extracted text. The focus here remains on the quarterback analysis and the tools and trends that support those DFS decisions.

Bet365 Interested in New York Sports Betting Market EntryWith Resorts World Bet actively exiting the New York market, Bet365 may take the opportunity to claim a long-desired sports betting license in the state.Global betting powerhouse Bet365 could soon be making its move into one of the biggest sports betting markets in the U.S.A recent report from the Offshore Gaming Association suggests the UK-based betting giant is interested in acquiring the New York mobile sports betting license that Resorts World Bet will vacate at the end of the month.Rare Opportunity in the NY MarketThe mobile betting platform operated by Genting recently informed its users that they must withdraw any remaining funds by June 22. The platform will officially cease operations in New York on June 30, having already stopped taking wagers this past Monday.This development creates a rare opening in the tightly regulated New York market, and Bet365, which joined the Sports Betting Alliance just last week, might be ready to pounce.While no official bids have been announced, OSGA claims the company has shown interest in taking over the permit, even suggesting it may match the $25 million Penn Entertainment reportedly paid to acquire WynnBet’s license earlier this year.While Hard Rock Bet and Underdog Fantasy have also been named as potential contenders, none of the three operators has publicly confirmed their intentions.“Even though no sportsbooks are making money in the Empire State, it’s still deemed crucial for any company to be deemed a major operator; they must have a legal presence in the state where sports betting handle in 2024 was $22.7 billion and is growing steadily each month,” the OSGA noted.Filling in the GapBet365’s push into New York would build on a wave of recent expansion. The company has gone live in Illinois and Tennessee and plans to launch in Missouri.It’s already active in a dozen states, including Arizona, Colorado, New Jersey, and North Carolina, but New York has remained a notable gap.One possible motivator for Bet365’s interest is speculation that the company is preparing for a sale or even a U.S. IPO. A New York presence could significantly boost its valuation, with some reports suggesting it’s targeting a $10–12 billion range.Despite a brutal 51% tax rate and an environment dominated by FanDuel and DraftKings, New York is still viewed as essential territory for any serious sportsbook brand.That means if Bet365 makes a move, it likely won’t be alone, and competition for that open license could be fierce.
