The Thanksgiving slate opens with an NFC North showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions at Ford Field on Thursday, November 27.
There should be plenty of offense in the Motor City, and Emanuel Wilson and Amon-Ra St. Brown headline my top Packers vs. Chiefs anytime touchdown picks for this Week 13 divisional battle.
Find out why in my NFL picks below.
Packers anytime touchdown pick
Emanuel Wilson (+120 at bet365)
The jury’s still out on just how healthy Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs is after missing Week 12 with a knee injury and thigh contusion, so I think we’re landing a fair number on Emanuel Wilson to score for a third consecutive game.
Wilson has been carving out a larger role over the past five weeks and has performed relatively well, averaging 4.0 yards per carry while also receiving 14 red-zone carries.
If Jacobs is on a pitch count or aggravates an injury, Wilson has proven capable of handling consistent early-down and short-yardage work.

Lions anytime touchdown pick
Amon-Ra St. Brown (+105 at bet365)
Detroit Lions go-to receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has scored in six of 10 games for nine total touchdowns since being held to just 45 yards on four receptions in the season opener against the Packers, and I’m expecting him to leave his mark on this Week 13 tilt.
St. Brown has also scored in four of five home games, and he should see favorable matchups out of the slot against Green Bay safety Javon Bullard. Not only is Bullard nursing an ankle injury, but he’s also allowed an 82.0 catch percentage during his two-year career.
