| TODAY'S EPISODE: Picking the Thanksgiving games |
| How are the Saints NOT dropping at least 40 on the Falcons? Jason La Canfora says there's no one the Saints would rather emasculate than Atlanta (but is betting the over too obvious?) as we break down all three Thanksgiving games, and we also talk Frank Reich, Chiefs-Rams, Lamar Jackson and much more. |

| Skins, Bears in good hands with backup QBs |
| Alex Smith is out for the season but Jason La Canfora's so sure Colt McCoy is a perfectly capable backup he wants to put his best bets in EARLY (give him the Skins getting 7.5). JLC says there's no reason to fret if the Bears start Chase Daniel, either, and he's got some eye-opening notes on Kirk Cousins, the Packers and more. |

| Will Brinson's Picks vs. the Spread: Saints, Lions cover |
| OK OK OK OK OK FINE. I GIVE UP. I'll stop picking against the Saints and their tour of destruction. There's no reason to think the Falcons can stay within 13, but I'll take Lions getting 4 on Thanksgiving vs. a Bears team that just played Sunday night and likely won't have Mitch Trubisky, and I'm backing a 12-point dog, as well. |

| MVP Watch: Brees pulls ahead of Mahomes |
| Through 11 weeks, Drew Brees' stat line looks like this: 25 TDs, 1 INT, 2,964 yards and a 76.9 percent completion rate. THAT'S NOT BAD. Brees got all five of our first-place MVP votes this week. It won't be easy for him to hold off Patrick Mahomes, but what's really noticeable is one other QB who's suddenly entered the picture. |

| Fantasy starts, sits and sleepers for every game |
| If you loved the Chiefs-Rams shootout on Monday, well, get ready for the exact opposite of that. Jaguars-Bills will probably end with a score something more like 10-6, which Dave Richard says makes the Bills defense a sneaky sleeper. Dave's got all the best starts and sits, and says it's now or never for one AFC North tight end. |
