The NFL's annual Thanksgiving tripleheader takes the place of a conventional Thursday Night Football broadcast. The NFL Week 13 odds and betting lines list the Green Bay Packers as 3.5-point home favorites at Lambeau Field against the Miami Dolphins when the third game of Thanksgiving Thursday kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Packers and Dolphins were both victorious in Week 12. Green Bay trounced the injury-ravaged San Francisco 49ers 38-10 at Lambeau Field. Miami toppled the inexperienced New England Patriots 34-15.

Green Bay remains well positioned in the Super Bowl odds race while Miami's NFL playoff odds are slowly being resurrected. Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the matchup with his Dolphins vs. Packers early picks.

Thursday Night Football betting tips

Mind the shorter week

The majority of teams participating in Thursday Night football will be getting just four days between games – and that isn't much time at all to prepare. Teams dealing with personnel or coaching changes or key injuries could be at a major disadvantage. And while those factors are baked into the odds, it's still an element worth your research time.

Expect a slow start

Thursday Night Football may have largely ditched its long-time reputation of being a snoozefest last season. Teams averaged 23.7 points per game last season on Thursday night.

However, a few inflated outputs boosted that number. The Chicago Bears dropped 40 points on the Washington Commanders in Week 5; the Dallas Cowboys put up 41 points on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13; and the Las Vegas Raiders erupted for 63 points in an embarrassment of the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15.

Home-field advantage? Not ATS

There are trends that make sense, and then there's the NFL's Thursday Night Football point spread trend, which most certainly does not.

Road teams have been surprisingly potent in recent years despite playing in hostile territory on a short week, going 30-31 SU and 38-22-1 ATS in TNF contests from 2019 through the 2023 regular season.
