Houston at Detroit

Thanksgiving Day hasn't made much difference in Detroit's fortunes as they are as bad on that day than any other as the Lions have lost 12 of their last 16 Turkey Day games, including a 24-20 loss to the Bears last year in yet another game Detroit should have won. The Lions come off a pitiful performance losing 20-0 to Carolina on Sunday and Matthew Stafford was sacked five times as he tried to play with a thumb injury while finishing 18 of 33 for 178 yards. Houston defeated New England 27-20 as Deshaun Watson threw for 344 yards and accounted for three touchdowns. It was the Texans' best performance of the season and their defense, led by J.J. Watt, has had two good showings in a row. Detroit has the #25 ranked offense in the league and are #29 in rushing yards per game. Watson hasn't thrown an interception in five games and he holds the advantage over the injured Stafford (thumb). The Lions are just 3-7 ATS their last 10 home games and 4-9 ATS versus teams with losing records. Detroit also posts a 4-11 ATS record as the underdog. Houston is a slight favorite but go with the Texans on the moneyline.
