JEFFREY JAMES (Play of the Day)
#101 Dallas Cowboys -3.5 (8:30 est) NFL Network
Dallas will be much better prepared here than on Thanksgiving since they will have a full week of prep time. Their offense looks to be well positioned to take advantage of the terrible Bears defense. Chicago is only 2-3 ATS at home this season and they will be in a down mood off of their loss on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit. Look for a bounce back strong performance from Dallas here.Comment

Game of the Day: Central Florida at East Carolina
UCF Knights at ECU Pirates (-7, 56)
UCF bounced back nicely from an unexpected road loss to Connecticut by handily defeating three other teams in the bottom half of the American Athletic Conference. The Knights figure to be challenged a bit more Thursday at East Carolina when they look to claim their share of the conference title. UCF fell to the Huskies 37-29 on Nov. 1 to give UConn its only AAC victory, but has outscored Tulsa, SMU and South Florida by a combined 100-14 in three games since.
The Knights, who boast the league’s best scoring, passing and total defense, are tied with Cincinnati for second in the AAC – one-half game behind Memphis. A two-game losing streak in early November cost the Pirates a shot at the AAC title, but East Carolina figures to pose a formidable threat to UCF as the Pirates feature the conference’s highest-scoring and most prolific offense. East Carolina enters its regular-season finale with back-to-back convincing victories over Tulane and Tulsa, each of whom has two conference wins.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.
LINE HISTORY: Oddsmakers opened the Pirates as 5 or 5.5-point home faves, but that has moved to -7. The total is currently 56 after opening 54.5 or 55.5
INJURY REPORT: Knights – RB William Stanback (Probable, undisclosed). Pirates – WR Trevon Brown (Out, knee).
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the mid-40s with wind blowing across the field at 6 mph.
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: “A win by Central Florida lands them into a tie atop the final AAC final standings. A victory by East Carolina vaults them into a tie with the Knights. Thus there are plenty of incentives on both sides. The Pirates will look to improve to 13-1 in their last 14 home games, while UCF rides a 14-1 mark in its last 15 conference games.” Marc Lawrence.
ABOUT UCF (8-3, 6-1 AAC): Although the Knights were held to less than 400 total yards for the first time in five games, Breshad Perriman continued his assault on the Knights’ all-time records. The junior receiver finished with team highs of six receptions, 55 yards and a touchdown, becoming the first UCF player since 2000 to catch a scoring pass in six straight contests. The Knights’ 16-0 shutout of USF last week marked the first time UCF blanked a conference team on the road.
ABOUT EAST CAROLINA (8-3, 5-2): The nation’s third-ranked passing attack continued to get solid production from their ground-game counterparts in Friday’s 49-32 victory at Tulsa with 172 rushing yards, including 91 on six carries from backup running back Chris Hairston. The strong rushing effort gave the Pirates 1,971 rushing yards for the season with two games remaining while leaving them 29 yards shy of their first 2,000-yard season as a team since 2009. Conversely, East Carolina surrendered a season-high 189 yards on the ground to the Golden Hurricane – doubling its season average entering the contest.
TRENDS:
* Knights are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Knights are 6-0 ATS in their last six Thursday games.
* Pirates are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall.
* Under is 7-3 in Knights last 10 conference games.
CONSENSUS: 60 percent of bettors are on the Pirates.Comment

Thursday Night Football Betting Preview: Cowboys at Bears
Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears (+3.5, 51)
Suddenly in a fight for their playoff lives, the Dallas Cowboys visit the Chicago Bears for a crucial NFC contest on Thursday night. After falling to division rival Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day, Dallas is just 2-3 over its last five games and locked in a three-team tie for a wild-card berth as the season heads down the stretch. The Cowboys are, surprisingly, 5-0 on the road this season.
A mess on the defensive side of the ball, the Bears are clearly playing out the string with questions aplenty. Chicago had its modest two-game winning streak snapped at Detroit on Thanksgiving Day after blowing a 14-3 first-quarter lead and yielding 474 yards. The Bears rank 26th in total defense and 30th in scoring defense, allowing 28.1 point,s and once again quarterback Jay Cutler’s future with the team seems uncertain.
TV: 8:25 p.m. ET, NFL Network.
LINE HISTORY: Oddsmakers opened the Bears as 3.5-point home dogs. The total opened at 50.5 and moved up a half-point.
INJURY REPORT: Cowboys – DE George Selvie (Questionable, thigh), S Jeff Heath (Out, thumb). Bears – DT Jeremiah Ratliff (Questionable, knee), WR Alshon Jeffery (Probable, hamstring), TE Martellus Bennett (Probable, foot), S Chris Conte (Questionable, eye), K Robbie Gould (Doubtful, groin).
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-30s with wind blowing toward the north endzone at around 10 mph.
POWER RANKINGS: Cowboys (+0.25) – Bears (+2.25) + home field (-3.0) = Bears -1.0
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: “Both teams emerge off disappointing Thanksgiving Day performances with each quarterback looking to shake the December doldrums. With each squad needing a win like blood it would be no surprise to see this fray go down to the final play.” Marc Lawrence.
ABOUT THE COWBOYS (8-4 SU, 6-6 ATS, 8-4 O/U): In a matchup that seemed to favor the offenses, Tony Romo posted a 53.7 quarterback rating – his lowest since 2011 – in a dreadful 33-10 loss to the Eagles. At 6-1 the Cowboys seemed to be a Super Bowl contender but since then their lone wins have come against lightweights Jacksonville and the New York Giants. With 1,427 yards, DeMarco Murray still has a wide lead in the NFL rushing ranks but Romo threw two picks and no touchdowns last time out, breaking a streak of 38 straight games with a scoring pass.
ABOUT THE BEARS (5-7 SU, 5-7 ATS, 7-5 O/U): Chicago has once again thrust its offense on the shoulders of Cutler with sub-par results, as the veteran has thrown 24 touchdowns and 14 interceptions on the season. Already in shambles, the Bears’ defense took another hit when it put steady linebacker Lance Briggs on season-ending injured reserve Friday. With Josh McCown under center, Chicago blasted Dallas last season 45-28, racking up 490 total yards and never punting in the contest.
TRENDS:
* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.
* Over is 4-0 in Cowboys last four road games.
* Bears are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight Thursday games.
CONSENSUS: 60 percent of bettors are on the Cowboys.Comment
