NFL Thanksgiving Day Picks

It's time for my turkey day picks...

Packers vs Lions - Lions QB Matt Stafford threw up 5 TD passes in a comeback vs the Carolina Cam Newton's last week. Lions RB Kevin Smith has picked up the slack from the loss of Jahvid Best to injury rushing for 140 yds on just 16 carries in the same game. But the Packers have the top team in the league and probably it's best overall player in QB Aaron Rodgers. In my UPSET SPECIAL of the season at this point look for Stafford and Calvin Johnson to exploit the Pack's 31st ranked pass defense bigtime while getting just enough stops to win a close one. LIONS 38-35



Dallas vs Miami - Both teams are hot right now coming in with 3 game win streaks each. Matt Moore has been a different player the past few weeks but the problem is he's STILL MATT MOORE. The Cowboys have too much firepower with Romo, DeMarco Murray, and Dez Bryant to be slowed down in this one. This game isn't quite big enough for Tony Romo to blow it. COWBOYS 31-20



49ers vs Ravens - The Harbaugh Bowl should be a pretty low scoring game. The Ravens have lost a few games where they got punched in the mouth and didn't respond losing to even the awful Jaguars. I'm predicting a similar result vs probably the most physical team on both sides in the NFL. On another note, is there a better coach in the game today than Jim Harbaugh? All this guy does is win at every level from USD to Stanford to the 49ers using the exact same smashmouth approach. 49ERS 20-17
