Thanksgiving is here! What a wonderful day for family and fun. This year, the Thanksgiving 2011 games in the National Football League are excellent. A ton is on the line for these games, including an unbeaten season. The night cap features a pair of brothers as head coaches, so tons of storylines will be in place there. Here are our Thanksgiving Day 2011 National Football League bets:

Green Bay Packers -6 @ Detroit Lions

These two NFC North teams have both gotten off to great starts. The Packers are of course 1-0, while Detroit comes into the game with a 7-3 record. Green Bay is coming off a win over Tampa Bay, in which the Buccaneers hung around for a little while. Detroit last week, trailed 24-7, but came back with 49 points to beat the Panthers. These two teams are meeting for the first time this season. We feel Aaron Rodgers is going to be at the top of his game, with the world looking in at him again. We are going to bet the Green Bay Packers -6 over the Detroit Lions on Thursday afternoon.

Miami Dolphins  @ Dallas Cowboys -7

The Miami Dolphins have won three in a row. Sure, they are not heading to the postseason, but they could be a damper in the Cowboys chances here. Miami is being underlooked, but we still feel the Cowboys will be hungry on Thanksgiving Day. Dallas is tied with the Giants, and could put an early statement with a win on Thursday. Look for another quarterback to take over this game. Tony Romo has a big day, much like Aaron Rodgers, and the Cowboys win. Bet the Dallas Cowboys -7 over the Miami Dolphins.

San Francisco 49ers @ Baltimore Ravens -3.5

The final game of the night may be the best overall game. The 9-1 San Francisco 49ers will take on the 7-3 Baltimore Ravens. The two Harbaugh brothers will get together on Thanksgiving Day. The 49ers are once again going out East; which they have done numerous times this season. San Francisco has been great on the road, at home, wherever they have played. The 49ers are just a couple plays away from being unbeaten. Baltimore has been up and down, but much better at home. Look for the Ravens to look sharp on both sides of the ball. In the end, the 49ers will have a tough time scoring enough to stay with the Ravens. We are betting the Baltimore Ravens -3.5 over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night.

We think this is going to be a very good week of NFL betting. These three are all good games, as five of the six teams playing looking to be heading towards the postseason. We will be back on Saturday to give you our Saturday winners for Week 12 of the National Football League.
