By Stephen Nover Texans minus 2 1/2 at Lions Deshaun Watson is reason enough to back the Texans here. Watson is one of the five best QB’s in the NFL right now. But the Lions are worth a fade all by themselves. The Lions have lost their last three Thanksgiving games. Their best player is […]

Surface-wise we have this: Central Florida is a power and at home. Tulsa is off a 4-8 season and 0-1 this year. I like the Knights. They were […]
