No More Turkey Day Sleepers

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.

Nike NFL Jerseys for 2012?

If anyone has yet to see this I am all but sure that the rumors of the Nike uniforms for the 2012 NFL season are totally fake but have many fans concerned. I can't think that the NFL would make a change like this without announcing it to the public or without ESPN or any major sports resource finding out and confirming it to be true.  I mean we couldn't agree to have a season this year at first so I'd have to say that new uniforms would be the least of the concerns for the NFL. I think that these uniforms are very ugly in my opinion but some of them aren't too terrible. These are all Nike Pro Combat uniforms so all teams would have a similar uniform to the Oregon Ducks in Eugene, Oregon which is where the Nike headquarters are located. I know that writing about each one would be long and tedious, so comment on which ones you like and which ones you hate. Personally I really like the New England Patriots Nike uniform sketch. The colors and design on the uniform is very well planned out with the American flag on the side. The Kansas City and Minnesota uniforms made me want to gag when i looked at them. The gold and red of Kansas City, and the yellow and purple of Minnesota are just awful sketches.
