This will be Cousin’s first every Thanksgiving game and he has gone 2-1 as a starter in Minnesota on Thursday night, winning his last two. Mac Jones will be playing his first Thanksgiving game as well and has won his only TNF game of this career in 2021 against Atlanta.

This will be the fourth game of the 2022 season that the Patriots have played as the road underdogs, with a 1-2 record.

The Vikings on the other hand, have won all four home games SU they have played as the home favorite, going 4-0.

With an 8-2 record in 2022, the Vikings have played a lot of close games. Four of the Vikings wins this season have been within four-point margins, and they have recorded a spread record of 4-5-1. Playing at home as the favorite, the Vikings have covered the spread in 50% of their games this season.

All four of the Patriots’ 2022 losses have been by at least three points, with two of them being exactly by a field goal. There is value in going a step further and betting on the Vikings to win by more than three, with legal NFL sportsbooks having alternative spreads for the TNF event.
