The Titans are looking to rebound after their first loss, and the Lions cant stop anyone on the ground. Detroit is ranked 31st against the rush, this also means that Kerry Collins should be able to make some big plays down field with play action. Detriot cant run on Tennesse so Culpepper will have to do try and win this one on his own. Expect a lot of turnovers folks! One more interesting fact, the Lions are 1-5 ATS as a Thanksgiving host since 2002.
Score Prediction: Titans 31, Lions 16
Game #2
Seattle @ Dallas: Before I get into this one, check out the Seahawks injury report. OUT: WR Deion Branch, WR Nate Burleson, WR Ben Obomanu, WR Logan Payne, G Rob Sims, C Chris Spencer, DE Patrick Kerney. That's not a good start. Tony Romo has the Boys clicking offensively right now. Romo threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns last week. Seattle is ranked 27th against the pass. The Cowboys are 5-2 against the spread the past seven years on Thanksgiving, the last two years Dallas had wins of 34-3 and 38-10. This is a must win for Dallas!
Score Prediction: Cowboys 34, Seahawks 13
Game #3
Arizona @ Philadelphia: It's hard to cap this game, considering the chaos in that phily locker room right now. We really don't know what to expect. Phily is not up against Baltimore's passing attack this week, their secondary is soft and they have a tendency to give up big plays in the passing game. All in all the Eagles have played well at home this year including the Giants game, I'll give them that much, but there are so many question marks with that team. It's rather frustrating to figure out! McNabb will start today and Arizona's secondary is ranked 21st versus the pass and they have a tendency to give up big plays. This would be the game for McNabb to break out of his slump. The problem with this one is - how are the Eagles going to cover Arizona's receivers? I'm guessing they're going to rely heavily on a combination of blitz packages. With that said, this is a bad spot for the Cardinals. Traveling all the way to the East Coast on just three days of rest to play at night in cold temps, and if you think about it this game is meaningless for Arizona. If they lose, who cares? The NFC West is the worst division in football! Also, 70% Percent of money is on Arizona, you know what that means, well, usually!
Score Prediction: Eagles 30, Cardinals 24
