Why Louisville is not good, plus an overstuffed Thanksgiving gambling guide for the holiday weekend

Thanksgiving Weekend has arrived, and there will not be a PM edition of the newsletter on Thursday or Friday this week. That’s the bad news. The good news is that I love you, and there’s no way I would send you into a holiday weekend full of sports without the picks to get you through it.

Much like your plate this weekend, tonight’s newsletter is overstuffed with picks. There are three NFL games on Thanksgiving, and I’ve got a pick for each of them. I’ve also got college football picks to get you through Friday and Saturday and a college basketball pick that I love for tonight.
