Oh no… We have NFL football on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday with rivalry weekend CFB on Saturday. The only thing better than stuffing your face with a Thanksgiving dinner is winning bets while doing so. The FTS team is here to help make that happen.

As a reminder, Owen and I are doing a weekly draft of our favorite favorite, top dawg, over, and under. It’s a snake draft with the first pick alternating each week. We keep a running score and the winner at the end of the year gets a jersey courtesy of the loser.

If you would have tailed Owen and I’s picks for the last few weeks, you’d be significantly in the green with 67.5% of these picks hitting. Jump on in while you still can. The waters warm.

Let’s get into the picks.

Pick #1 – Owen – Bears @ Vikings U45

It’s the gift that keeps on giving every Monday evening.

I promised to continue to hammer MNF unders until someone stops me. No promises that I will even stop when someone tries to stop me.

Pick #2 – Matt – 49ers -6.5

The 49ers are BACK. They’re looking like the well-oiled machine that was dominating the league until the Cleveland Browns (future Super Bowl champions) put a loss on their record.

I’m skeptical of how healthy Geno will be coming into this matchup on a short week after Aaron Darnold murdered him on Sunday. If Drew Lock even sniffs that field, take the 6.5, double it, and put your mortgage on it. Kids a bum.

Pick #3 – Matt – Dolphins @ Jets O40

I am desperately hoping that Tim Boyle can make some things happen for that Jets offense. There is no shortage of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball for the Jets so hopefully with Milf Hunter on the sidelines they can scrounge up some points.

On the other side, I just need Tyreek Hill to do Tyreek Hill things. Keep scoring and beating bad teams, Miami. It’s all you’re good at.

Pick #4 – Owen – Bills @ Eagles O48

While the Eagles weren’t as high scoring on the MNF SB rematch, I expect a bounce back coming home.

The Bills on the other hand seemed to kick it in gear against the Jets & took the foot off the gas early on. Yes, the Jets suck, but their defense is solid. So I was impressed with the 29 points they put up in 3 quarters.

I’m expecting a high scoring game here between some juggernauts. They also don’t need to worry about the Primetime Over curse

Pick #5 – Owen – Texans +1.5

CJ Stroud is slicing and dicing defenses. Sure he threw 3 picks in his last game, but he also had 260 yards in the first half. He also is a dawg & just continues to win these tight games

I think the Jaguars are frauds. Sure they’ve beaten up on the Colts and Titans. I am just not impressed with their resume at this point. 

As a Colts fan I shouldn’t say this, but I’m all in on the Texans right now. I think they are going to win this one & really challenge Jacksonville for that AFC South spot in the playoffs.

Pick #6 – Matt – Buccs +2.5

Both of these teams are in the “Frisky and Fun” category for me. Oddly enough, I believe in Baker Mayfield more than I do Garner Minshew. After watching Minshew scramble out of clean pockets and get happy feet on every drop back in Germany, I’ve officially lost faith that he can cut it for the Colts.

I actually have the Buccs winning this bad boy outright and improving their chances at snagging a playoff spot in the NFC.

Pick #7 – Matt – Bengals/Steelers U34.5

Matt Canada might be gone, but that doesn’t change the fact that Kenny Pickett and Jake Browning are the gunslingers under center for this contest. I foolishly bet the O33 last week when it was DTR and Kenny. Not making that mistake again.

This game STINKS.

Pick #8 – Owen – Dolphins -9.5

Tim Boyle. Do I really need to say anymore here? 

Listen Jets fans. Yes you Fireman Ed. I don’t care if it’s Tim Boyle or Zach Wilson, your team has no clue how to advance the ball AT ALL. Congrats on your 1 TD in 54 games the other day… Where your kicker proceeded to miss the extra point. 

Not even Aaron Rodgers can get you to cover this spread. Dolphins by 20+

Wrapping Up

From the FTS Gambling family to yours, we hope you enjoy this Thanksgiving with friends and family and that all of your bets cash. Let’s make some cheddar.

Till next time,
