Thursday NFL: New Orleans Saints vs Dallas Cowboys

Resilient Cowboys Host Surging Saints

The leaders of the NFC South and NFC East clash this Thursday, with Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys welcoming Drew Brees’ New Orleans Saints to town. Tonight's contest will kick off Week 13 NFL action. Each game become more and more important as the playoffs inch closer.

TV: 8:20 p.m. ET, FOX, NFL Network.

LINE: Saints -7 O/U: 51.5.

Thanksgiving Thursday was a big day for both of these clubs. With a win over the Washington Redskins that resulted in Dallas overtaking the NFC East, they’ll be riding high against the league’s top team this Thursday.

Drew Brees is an early favorite for NFL Most Valuable Player this season. The 39-year-old isn’t slowing down. The veteran leads all starting QB's with a 127.3 QB rating. He has guided his offense to a league-best 37.2 points per game clip through 12 weeks.

Following the Saints’ 31-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, New Orleans owns a 10-1 record and a stranglehold on the NFL South.

The Saints are on the verge of clinching the NFC South. They’ve covered nine straight games after getting off to a slow start against the spread. Nobody has been better poised to take advantage of the league’s new offense-friendly rules. New Orleans has one of the very best attacks in the NFL.

The Saints have a league low-tying nine turnovers, one fewer than the Cowboys.

One thing the Saints’ defense can do well is stuff the run.

That’s bad news for the Cowboys, who rely heavily on RB Ezekiel Elliott. He is averaging 4.9 yards per carry since his return. He runs behind an offensive line that’s been compromised by multiple injuries. Dallas hope to have LT Tyron Taylor back in action this week after he sat out Thanksgiving Day with neck and elbow issues.

Dallas is in the midst of resurrecting their season. Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper look to exploit New Orleans' 30th-ranked pass defense after the pair hooked up for two long touchdown passes against the Redskins.

Prescott has a rushing score in each of his last three games. Cooper joined Kansas City speedster Tyreek Hill in by having his second 180-yard, two-touchdown performance in the last two seasons with his sterling effort versus Washington.

DE Demarcus Lawrence has three of his team-leading 8.5 sacks in the last four games.

PREDICTION: Saints 34, Cowboys 14

ACC/Big Ten Challenge: Michigan State vs Louisville

The Annual Showcase is a Fan Favorite

The Michigan State Spartans and the Louisville Cardinals will meet on Tuesday at KFC Yum! Center. The Spartans looks to extend its winning streak to six games as they play in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

The No. 8 Spartans are coming off a title at the Las Vegas Invitational. They beat UCLA and No. 17 Texas on consecutive nights. The Cardinals have dropped two straight. They lost to No. 7 Tennessee and Marquette in overtime at the NIT Season Tip-Off in Brooklyn.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE: Michigan State -5; O/U: 154.5.

Michigan State guard Cassius Winston runs the show for coach Tom Izzo. He is coming off an MVP performance at the Las Vegas Invitational, where he averaged 19.5 points and 8.5 assists. Winston's back-court mate, Joshua Langford, averages a team-best 18.5 points. He had a career-high 29 points in the Spartans' come-from-behind victory over Texas.

Sophomore forward Jordan Nwora has been the top point producer for Louisville this season by averaging 18.4 points and a team-best 7.2 rebounds. This is despite coming off the bench in every game.

Coach Chris Mack uses 10 players on a regular basis. Each of them averaging at least 12.3 minutes, and the Cardinals are averaging 40.6 points from reserves this season.

Spartans Just Reload and Cardinals in Transition

The Michigan State Spartans are 5-1 on the young season. Kenny Goins averages the fewest points of any of Izzo's five starters with 6.8 per game. He may be one of the most important players for the Spartans in many different areas. The team's leading rebounder at nine per game, Goins is one of the better defenders on the squad. He'll likely get the key assignment of trying to slow down Nwora in this contest.

Though he's shooting only 28.6 percent from 3-point range, Goins has expanded his game to include a long jumper. It gives the Spartans another player to kick it out to off post-ups by forward Nick Ward or drives to the hoop by Winston or Langford.

Louisville is 3-2 on the season and playing well in tonight's game could be a huge boost.

Louisville has been able to get to the free-throw line often this season. They have made 26 more free throws than its opponents have attempted. Working the ball inside could be a key factor against a Michigan State team that doesn't feature a shot-blocker. Last year they featured Jaren Jackson Jr. They cover the perimeter as well as any team in the country, allowing opponents to shoot 31.1 percent from 3-point range.

Nwora, forward V.J. King, forward Malik Williams and center Steven Enoch are all averaging at least four trips to the free-throw line per game. They'll need to have that aggressiveness to get some easy points and slow down the Michigan State transition game.

Louisville has won 49 straight home games in the month of November spanning the last 28 seasons, including 36 at the KFC Yum! Center.

PREDICTION: Michigan State 82, Louisville 73

MNF: Tennessee Titans vs Houston Texans

Surging Texans Look to Take Control of AFC South

The Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans will meet on Monday Night Football at NRG Stadium.

Their ugly start to the season is now a distant memory. The Houston Texans can set a franchise record on Monday night Football. The Texans own a two-game lead atop the AFC South. They will go for their eighth consecutive victory after opening the season with three straight losses, including a 20-17 setback at Tennessee in Week 2.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE: Texans -4 O/U: 42.5

Surging Houston is coming off consecutive two-point triumphs at Washington and Denver. That gives the team four victories by three points or fewer during its winning streak.

"We just try to keep on stacking wins and put us in position for later on down the season," Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson told reporters. "It's a very important game. It's a home game. We want to win those. It's a division game. We have to make sure we prepare well and get ready for it."

The Titans squandered a chance to make Monday's matchup a showdown for division supremacy. They followed a pair of decisive wins over Dallas and New England with a 38-10 loss to Indianapolis last week (as the Titans were +2 point underdog).

Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota was knocked out of that game with a stinger, but he practiced fully on Friday and Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur pronounced him "ready to roll."

Titans Need a Win Tonight Against the Texans

The 5-5 Titans are a befuddling team so far this year. Marcus Mariota had his two best games in the wins over the Cowboys and Patriots. It was feared that last week's injury was related to the elbow issues that have plagued him for most of the season. It forced him to miss the Week 2 matchup versus Houston.

Running back Derrick Henry, who was used out of the wildcat in the first meeting, could be in line for a heavier workload as part of a backfield tandem with Dion Lewis.

Corey Davis is Mariota's top target with 45 receptions. It's unclear if fellow wideout Taywan Taylor will return after a two-game absence.

Tennessee had the NFL's top-ranked scoring defense until it was shredded by the Colts.

The 7-3 Texans have improved play each week their franchise QB has after coming back from injury. Watson had his NFL coming-out party against Tennessee last season in his third career start. He threw for four touchdowns and rushed for another as Houston set a franchise record for points in a 57-14 rout.

He has not thrown for more than 239 yards in his last five starts and the Texans have scored more than 23 points just twice. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has at least one TD catch in five straight games and eight overall after posting an NFL-high 13 receiving scores last season.

Running back Lamar Miller is providing balance to the offense with at least 18 carries and 86 yards rushing in three of the last four games.

The Texans are fifth in scoring defense (20.5 points).

Hopkins has at least 100 yards in three of his last four versus Tennessee, including 110 and a TD in Week 2.

J.J. Watt has registered 10 sacks on the season, including one in each of his last three games.

PREDICTION: Texans 23, Titans 20

Sunday Night Football: Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings

Vikings and Packers In a Critical NFC North Battle

Making the playoffs is already a dicey proposition for both the Green Bay Packers (4-5-1 SU and ATS) and the Minnesota Vikings (5-4-1 SU and ATS). One of these two rivals should see their chances improve when they meet Sunday night in Minneapolis. The gridiron contest will kick off at 8:20 PM ET on NBC.

The Vikings are 3.5-point favorites (–120) with a total of 48.

When these same two teams met at Lambeau Field back in Week 2, the game ended in a 29-29 tie. The Packers to covered as 2-point home dogs. It was part of a very poor September for the Vikings. They’ve gone 4-1 SU and 3-1-1 ATS since then to revive their playoff hopes. Green Bay, on the other hand, has lost three of four at 2-1-1 ATS since taking the bye in Week 7.

The Packers will be in deeper trouble this week if TE Jimmy Graham can’t play, which seems likely at this point. Graham has a broken thumb and is expected to miss multiple games, although he says he will “try to play” through his injury; he’s second on the team with 34 catches.

Vikes and Pack just Need to Solid "Complete" Game

Aaron Rodgers keeps putting up big numbers for Green Bay. He has 19 touchdowns and only one interception. He threw for 332 yards and two scores last week in a 27-24 loss at Seattle, but again was unable to end the road skid. The Packers are winless on the road, 0-5, this season.

Running back Aaron Jones was held to 40 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. He did set season highs with five receptions for 63 yards and a score against the Seahawks.

Rodgers has been locked in on Davante Adams, who set a season high with 166 yards on 10 catches last week. Rodgers had 26 TDs and zero interceptions in his past 10 division games.

The Packers are No. 5 against the pass (223.0 yards) but are dealing with multiple injuries in the secondary.

Minnesota has struggled offensively for the past three games. Kirk Cousins has five touchdowns passes and four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns in losses to New Orleans and Chicago.

Wide receiver Adam Thielen failed to score for the first time in seven games last week. He still went over 1,000 yards while Stefon Diggs had a season-high 13 catches for 126 yards and a touchdown. Thielen had 12 catches for 131 yards and a TD in the Week 2 matchup.

The running game, however, was non-existent against the Bears. Dalvin Cook was limited to 12 yards on nine carries.

The Vikings' defense ranks sixth against the pass (226.0 yards), will get a boost with the expected return of linebacker Anthony Barr after a three-game absence.

PREDICTION: Vikings 26, Packers 23

Trail Blazers Host Clippers Sunday Evening

Trail Blazers Look for Fresh Start After Road Trip

The Los Angeles Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers will meet on Sunday at Moda Center. The Trail Blazers stumbled hard at the end of a six-game road trip. They suffered two blow-out losses against top competitors in each conference.

The Trail Blazers will try to hit the reset switch on Sunday night.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS Prime Ticket (Los Angeles), NBCS Northwest (Portland)

Line: Trail Blazers -4.5-point; O/U: 226.5.

Portland was crushed 143-100 at the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. It was barely closer on Friday, falling 125-97 at the Golden State Warriors.

The Clippers are rolling with wins in six of the last seven games. They knocked off the Memphis Grizzlies 112-107 in overtime on Friday in a brief stop at home following a three-game trip. Los Angeles, which fell at Portland 116-105 on Nov. 8, will play eight of its next 11 games on the road.

The 12-6 Clippers are sitting among a group of teams atop the Western Conference. They have a well-rounded roster that lacks superstars but celebrates role players like power forward Montrezl Harrell.

The 24-year-old Louisville product never averaged more than 11 points in three previous seasons, but is posting 15.9 points this year. Harrell has a 65.4 percent shooting after going for 22 points and 11 rebounds on Friday. It was his third straight game with 20 or more points.

The Trail Blazers are 12-7 on the season.

Portland allowed the Bucks to shoot 52.8 percent from the floor in Wednesday's loss and watched Golden State go off at 56.5 percent in Friday's setback.

Lillard needed 24 field-goal attempts to reach 23 points on Friday and shot 37.5 percent from the floor on the six-game trip.

CJ McCollum is 13-of-26 from 3-point range over the last four games.

PREDICTION: Trail Blazers 115, Clippers 107.

Wooden Legacy: Miami Hurricanes vs Seton Hall Pirates

Hurricanes and Pirates Look to Enter Holidays on Win Streak

The fans at Titan Gym will be treated see the Miami Hurricanes and the Seton Hall Pirates on Sunday Night in the Championship Game of the 2018 Wooden Legacy. The Hurricanes have played well to start the season but Seton Hall is still trying to find itself.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2

LINE: Miami -5; O/U: 141.

Myles Powell has carried Seton Hall and the offense on his shoulders all month long. The high-scoring guard may more help from his teammates if the squad hopes to take down the Hurricanes.

Miami hopes to corral the nation's seventh-leading scorer and move to 6-0 for the second straight season. They take on their former Big East rival in Fullerton, Calif.

The Pirates edged Grand Canyon in Thursday's opening round behind a career-high 40 points from Powell. He tied James Harden's single-game tournament record in a non-overtime game for Arizona State in 2008.

Seton Hall's newest 1,000-point scorer was held mostly in check with only 19 points, which is 6.8 below his season average, against Hawaii. A stingy defensive effort held the Warriors more than 25 below their season average in a 64-54 win.

Miami made their way into the title game earlier in the day. They advanced with a put-back dunk from Zach Johnson with two-tenths of a second remaining to hold off Fresno State 78-76.

The Pirates haven't received more than Michael Nzei's 16 points on Friday from any other player this season. Johnson's 24-point effort made him the fourth different Miami player to score 20 at least once.

Miami and Seton Hall a Tale of Two Teams on Offense

Miami is 5-0 on the new season.

Coach Jim Larranaga credited Johnson's size (6-2) and well-rounded play as key reasons why his team was able to advance in the tournament.

"I look at it like we have seven starters," he told reporters. "Zach is bigger and stronger against their press and can see a bit better over it. ... The defense collapsed to stop him from scoring at a high rate, but what makes a guy really good is if he can make his teammates better, and he did that."

Chris Lykes  has a team-high 19.6 points and  2.4 steals a game. He leads four other Miami players averaging at least 11.4 points. Lykes has recorded at least 17 and two steals in every contest thus far.

Johnson is the first Miami reserve to score 24 or more points in at least nine seasons.

Seton Hall is 3-2 on the season.

Powell is averaging 25.8 points per game and is responsible for 36.2 percent of the team's scoring. He is the only player from a major conference shooting at least 50 percent while averaging at least 25 points entering Saturday.

Powell was the 44th player in school history to reach 1,000 career points on Friday.

No other Pirate scores more than 9.2 points per game. Nzei and sophomore Myles Cale, who had 10 points, recorded season-high point totals on Friday.

Sandro Mamukelashvili averages 7.8 points and  8.2 rebounds per game. He continues to flirt with double-doubles, although he has yet to post one. He has grabbed at least seven rebounds in each of his last four contests.

Syracuse transfer and fellow sophomore Taurean Thompson is averaging 10 points at this event after totaling nine in his first three games.

PREDICTION: Miami 81, Seton Hall 68

AdvoCare Inv: Oklahoma State Cowboys vs LSU Tigers

Tigers and Cowboys Want to Leave a Winner

The Oklahoma State Cowboys and the 19th-ranked LSU Tigers will meet on Sunday at HP Field House. They are playing in the 3rd place game in the AdvoCare Invitational at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

TV: 4 p.m. ET, ESPN2

LINE: LSU -4.5; O/U: 143.

The Cowboys took on the reigning NCAA Tournament champions, Villanova, on Friday and watched them make 40 percent of their 3-pointers. The Cats also out-rebounding Oklahoma State 39-26.

LSU also witnessed a bit of greatness Friday as Florida State's Mfiondu Kabengele drained a 3-pointer with less than a second left in overtime to send the Tigers into the consolation game.

The 3-2 Cowboys have four double-digit scorers on the season. They are led by Cameron McGriff at 15.0 points. He also paces the team with eight rebounds per game.

Thomas Dziagwa is 20-of-34 from 3-point range. Not surprisingly, that is tops in the nation among players with at least 30 attempts. He has attempted nearly 80 percent of his shots from 3-point range. Mike Cunningham has drained 7-of-14 shots outside the arc in his first two games as well.

NFL Week 12 Free Betting Pick- Giants vs Eagles

Giants and Eagles in Must Win Mode

Week twelve of the season is filled with NFL rivalry games. One of those is the 3-7 New York Giants and the 4-6 Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants head down I-95 for a NFC East tilt with playoff implications. The game is a 1 p.m. start at Lincoln Financial Field on FOX.

The Eagles are listed as 4.5-point favorites and the total line has been set at 48.5 points.

The Giants have been able to string together a pair of straight-up victories. They were against San Francisco on the road and Tampa Bay at home. The total went OVER 54 points in Sunday’s 38-35 win against the Buccaneers. The game that ended as a PUSH.

The score has now gone OVER BetAnySports’ closing line in four of New York’s last six games. The Giants are 4-5-1 against the spread overall, but they have covered in four of five road games this season.

This will be the second meeting this season for these teams. The Giants found themselves on the wrong end of a 34-13 loss to Philadelphia at home on Oct. 11 as 1.5-point underdogs. Veteran NFL quarterback Eli Manning came under fire for his play in that first meeting.

Manning was able to complete 17 of his 18 passing attempts against Tampa Bay on Sunday for 231 yards and two touchdown throws. Rookie running back Saquon Barkley added another 142 yards and two scores on the ground on 27 rushing attempts.

Eagles Have had Disappointing Season So Far

Philadelphia’s disappointing Super Bowl title defense went from bad to worse. Sunday’s 48-7 no-show against New Orleans was the low point of the season. They were listed as a seven-point road underdog.

The Eagles’ slipped to 4-6 SU with a 3-7 record ATS. They are 1-4 ATS at home this season and 2-6 ATS when closing as favorites. The total stayed UNDER 56.5 points in Sunday’s loss and it has stayed UNDER in three of their last four games.

The Eagles had been competitive in their first nine games this season win or lose. The multiple issues with this year’s squad were fully exposed against the high-powered Saints. Most notably, an offense that cannot sustain drives due to an inconsistent running game. Philadelphia’s defense has some major gaps in the secondary which could pose some issues in this Sunday’s matchup.

Despite the Eagles’ poor play, they are still just two games off the pace in the wide-open NFC East title race. The Giants could be just what they need to get things back on track with a SU win that covers the 4.5-point spread.

Iron Bowl: Auburn Tigers vs Alabama Crimson Tide

Top-Ranked Alabama primed and Ready for Arch-Rival Auburn

Top-ranked Alabama appears headed toward a College Football Playoff berth, again. They must avoid an upset today when it hosts Auburn in Saturday's Iron Bowl. The defending champion Crimson Tide are again at the top of the CFP poll. The Tide has already sewn up a berth in the SEC title game against Georgia.

TV: 3:30 ET, CBS.

LINE: Alabama -25.5; O/U: 52.5.

The Tigers had a stunning 26-14 victory over Alabama last season. Head Coach Gus Malzahn sees no reason why his club can't pull it off again.

"It's the Iron Bowl," Malzahn said during a press conference. "We don't have to bring anything up. This is a game our guys look forward to, their guys look forward to. When we beat them the last two times, we probably weren't the favorite, so we'll see what happens."

Alabama coach Nick Saban made it clear his players don't need a reminder of what occurred.

"They didn't feel good about last year, and they've had to live with it for 365 days," Saban said at a press conference. "I don't necessarily think that the revenge factor is the best form of motivation out there, but I think it certainly plays into a guy that's a good competitor who wants to come back and do well if he didn't perform well the last time he played someone."

Auburn is 7-4 overall and 3-4 in the SEC.

The Tigers have been solid on defense this season. They are allowing an average of 16.6 points per game. The squad received good news when sophomore defensive end Nick Coe was cleared to play. Coe had a one-game absence due to a wrist injury and he is the team sack leader with 7.5.

Junior quarterback Jarrett Stidham has thrown just 12 touchdown passes while limiting mistakes. He only has four interceptions and was a solid 21-of-28 passing for 237 yards in last season's win over the Crimson Tide.

Redshirt freshman running back JaTarvious Whitlow has 716 yardson the season. He has rushed for just 90 total yards over the past three games since gaining a season-best 170 against Ole Miss.

The undefeated Crimson Tide is 11-0 overall and 7-0 in the SEC.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has 31 touchdown passes going into today's game. He broke the school mark set by AJ McCarron, who had 30 in 2012. Saban is ecstatic over the sophomore's production in his first season as a starter.

"We're pleased with the way Tua has played," Saban told reporters. "I think that any player that you talk about, no one is perfect. I do think that Tua has sort of the mindset of trying to make every throw a good throw, make every read a good read. I think he hopes for that. I think he is a perfectionist to some degree."

The defense is allowing 13.1 points per game and sophomore nose guard Quinnen Williams is enjoying a huge season with a team-leading 15 tackles for loss.

Jazz and Lakers on NBA-TV Friday Night

Lakers are Red-Hot Going into Jazz Matchup

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers (10-7 SU, 6-11 ATS) are starting to look like contenders. The jury is still out on the Utah Jazz (8-10 SU and  ATS). They’ll lock horns this Friday at Staples Center.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, NBATV, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Utah), Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles)

Line: Lakers -2.5; O/U: 222.

The Lakers have won six of their last seven games at 4-3 ATS after getting off to a slow start in LeBron’s LA debut. James scored 51 points in his last outing, Sunday’s 113-97 win over his former employers, the Miami Heat (+1.5 at home). However, point guard Rajon Rondo broke his right hand last week and isn’t expected to return until sometime in December after undergoing successful surgery.

Los Angeles C JaVale McGee hit all six of his shots against the Cavaliers and is 22-for-31 over the past four contests.

Utah are fully healthy at this point, but they’ve split their last six games SU and ATS as they continue to struggle at both ends of the court.

Rookie of the Year runner-up Donovan Mitchell isn’t playing at quite the same level as a sophomore, hitting just 29.3% from downtown. Ricky Rubio (a career-low 35.2%) is also having difficulty from long range. As a result, the Jazz have a minus-2.5 point differential on the season, well below the Lakers at plus-1.2.

The Jazz went 3-0 against the Lakers last season and won the past seven meetings.

Utah star SG Donovan Mitchell scored 35 points against the Kings for his third 30-point outing of the campaign.

PREDICTION: Lakers 123, Jazz 107
