Gaming Today Playbook: Thanksgiving NFL Props | FL Sports Betting Woes | CFB Preview Roundup
Betting picks by sports bettors for sports bettors
Special early edition of the Gaming Today newsletter! On Thanksgiving, I will be busy watching football and eating non-traditional food because turkey is the worst.
This week we’ll dive into Thanksgiving NFL player props. As usual, these are exclusive to newsletter subscribers. For my public props, check out the Thanksgiving Day NFL Player Prop Bet article linked below. Let’s just hope for no more injuries because they are crushing my soul (and my record).
Furthermore, we got a bleak update on Florida sports betting that we cannot ignore. Gaming Today’s Rebecca Hanchett and Mary M. Shaffrey have amazing coverage of the tricky situation down there.
NFL Thanksgiving Player Props!
Gabriel Davis Under 25.5 Receiving Yards -125 (PointsBet)
Gabriel Davis barely plays, let’s be honest here. Last week he was in on just 19 snaps and was lucky to get 27 yards in that stretch.
Damiere Byrd Over 8.5 Receiving Yards -115 (DraftKings)
Never heard of him? You probably won’t watch this game, but you can certainly bet on it. Damiere Byrd is stepping up for Allen Robinson as a starting receiver on the outside. This is achievable in a single catch, and Byrd is the listed starter this week. Robinson is listed as doubtful tomorrow. It’s bound to be a dismal match-up between two ailing teams, but you may as well try for a quick buck.

Florida Sports Betting Shot Down By A Judge, But Bets Are Still Being Placed
We have been following this story for weeks now. Florida sports betting is nearly dead. A judge ruled the state’s compact with tribal operators “fiction.” However, bets are still being placed. Could Florida sports betting apps be shut down over the holiday weekend?
Gaming Today’s Mary M. Shaffrey has more on the Florida sports betting scene.
Could this affect California? That’s the tough question. Thankfully, Gaming Today’s Rebecca Hanchett considers how California fits into this mess.
