Great pass rush vs a great passing attack. Everyone thinks that this will be the game of the day, the most exciting to watch.... well, you are wrong. This game has blowout written all over it. The Lions may look like a great team, but when you breakdown their wins, and who they were against, their records and stats dont look so spectacular. Look for Stafford to get frazzled early and often, and the takeaways start snowballing to the Packers favor. The Lions are ready to compete, but look for them to drop another one. Aaron Rogers plays it cool, and commands the offense and puts up his normal 100+ passer rating. (Projected win Green Bay by 20.72 pts)
Miami has had some success the past 2 weeks, but arent winning it with the offense, but taking care of business with some great opportunities. When in the red zone they are less then 40% to score a TD, and Matt More has been hot the past 2 games, but that was at home, and against 2 teams who wont make the playoffs this year. Dalls is rolling after struggling the first half of the season, and seem to have gotten it back on track. After letting a big lead slip away last week vs the Redskin, look for them to run it up and not take it for granted at home this Thanksgiving! (Projected win Dallas by 18.55 pts)
This will be the game of the Thanksgiving day, to bad the general public wont have access to it as it wont be on any of the major networks. The 49ers are a real deal team this year, and are 4-0 when traveling to the East Coast, and have covered EVERY spread as an underdog. The Ravens are a tough team to beat at home, one of the best in the league. The one factor I see in this game is the loss of Ray Lewis with his foot injury. Both teams will play it safe on offense, as they dont want to make a mistake and let the defense get a key takeaway. Look for a great defensive game, with one team squeking it out in the end. (Projected win by San Francisco by 2.66 pts)
