What does Thanksgiving mean to you? To BG, it means sipping a Coors Light while watching the NFL as his aunts share stories about incompetent 3rd grade teachers and elementary school field trips. To Crick, it means ignoring advice on women and careers from his single, jobless uncle while his 12 year old nephew alternates between fetching him fresh Blue Lights and sitting next to him to watch the NFL game.

In our comprehensive study, we’ve come to the conclusion that the Thanksgiving of most semi-intelligent, self-aware people revolves around:

1) Tolerating family members
2) Alcohol
3) The NFL

It’s also the only day where you can take every single food prepared, put it in a blender, pour it into a glass, and it would still be the greatest tasting thing ever.

The results of this study should not come as a surprise to you, our semi-intelligent, self-aware readers. I can’t imagine it would to the Pilgrims, either, except that over time, “watching the Indians get ravaged by smallpox” has been replaced with”watching the Lions get ravaged by whoever they’re playing.”

From a handicapper point of view, this information can lead to some very profitable decisions. The most effective method of combining alcohol and the NFL while avoiding family members is to gamble heavily. Thanksgiving is one of the most public gambling days of the year – even the most casual bettors try to get action going, whether it be to pull themselves out of a mindless, boredom-induced stupor or to brag to their brother-in-law about how much money they have on the day’s games.

After years of heavy betting on public teams, Vegas is well aware that no matter how bad the line, the money will still come in on the big name teams.
