The Pick: Jameson Williams OVER 77.5 receiving yards (-115, BetMGM)
When it comes to all-time Thanksgiving Day halftime bangers, Jack White and Eminem rocking Detroit are unrivaled.
What was witnessed last Thursday inside Ford Field entered the pantheon of game-break concerts. Simple rocking anthems featuring music icons.
The blood stirred. A glass was raised. It kicked ass. When you finish a set with “Seven Nation Army” it honestly doesn’t get much better.
Bummer for the Lions faithful, it was the game’s only memorable highlight.
In the loss to the rival Packers, Jamo did his best to earn a turkey leg. On 10 targets, he grabbed seven passes for a season-high 144 yards and a touchdown. Including that eruption, the fleet-footed receiver has averaged 4.2 receptions per game, 83.4 yards per game and scored four touchdowns over his last five.
Overall, with one of the highest QB passer ratings when targeted among qualifying wide receivers (130.3) and a No. 1 ranking in YAC per reception (8.8), he’s picked up the slack for numerous injured pass-catching Lions.
After flunking over the season’s first half, Dallas has at least earned a C- grade defensively the past few weeks. Since Week 10, it’s a much improved No. 19 in dropback EPA D. Commendable. Despite the momentum gained, however, Little D isn’t without continued weaknesses.
Williams is scheduled to face rookie corner Shavon Revel often in coverage. On 89 snaps, the Dallas DB has given up a juicy 71.4% catch rate. As a collective, the ‘Boys have also allowed the third-most WR yards in the NFL -- including eight 80+ yard wide receivers.
Equipped with 4.39 40-yard wheels. Detroit's speedster burns rubber en route to a banner Week 14 -- with or without Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) in uniform.
Bring the "Icky Thump", Jamo.
NO CONTEXT PARLAY PLAY: SGP - Jahmyr Gibbs anytime TD, CeeDee Lamb 70+ receiving yards (+120, DraftKings)
