We’re so close to Thanksgiving, you can almost smell the turkey and feel the sting of mom’s passive-aggressive judgments on your life choices.
And speaking of questionable choices, my NFL Underdogs picks and predictions came up lame last week. Woof.
That really puts the pressure on, with the annual holiday marking the home stretch of the NFL season: a starting gun for teams in the postseason race and an “Old Yeller” behind-the-shed BANG for those clubs not in contention.
But before that benchmark in mixed motivations, Week 11 serves as the last gasp for glory for many teams — plenty of which find themselves installed as NFL betting underdogs.
I dig through that pile of points, along with some winter weather, for my three favorite free NFL underdogs picks this weekend.
(Editor’s Note: These picks were made prior to Thursday afternoon’s news that Browns-Bills would be played in Detroit.)
