Thanksgiving football the last couple of years hasn't been much of anything to watch but this year it looks like that may change.
The Lions have had a great season so far starting off with seven wins and only three losses. They always play on Thanksgiving and they will host division rival Packers who are the only undefeated team left in the NFL.
The Packers are undefeated but had a close call last week against Tampa Bay in a game that they allowed 455 yards to the Bucs. The Packers also lost leading rusher James Starks who went down with an injury in the fourth quarter.
I look for this to be an exciting match up with Matthew Stafford of the Detriot Lions and Calvin Johnson to chew up this Packers defense but I think they will do so in a losing effort. Can anybody stop Aaron Rodgers? He has thrown for 31 touchdowns and only four interceptions all season, an unbelievable accomplishment.
What got into the 49ers this year? Maybe they were inspired by the Giants success in San Fran and stepped it into gear. The 49ers sit at 8-1 going into the day and will face the Baltimore Ravens defense. Both teams have relied on their defenses and this will probably be a very low scoring game.
The only bad game of the day may be the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were able to pull off three straight victories after starting out 0-7 but the Cowboys have also been playing well of late.
This may be a good game but I can't see the Dolphins continuing their winning ways this week against Dallas. This may be a very high scoring game but I'm not really sure who will come out on top, but I lean towards Dallas to win this game.
