Thanksgiving Day Picks

Detroit (+3.5) over GB
The Lions usually play well on Turkey Day and Jon Kitna will be leading prayer groups all week to give thanks. For an interesting drinking game, take a sip every time the announcers praise Brett Favre. You won't make it to halftime, but the holiday will certainly be more interesting.

Dallas (-14.5) over NY Jets
The Cowboys are thankful that the 2-8 Jets are rolling into town off their biggest win of the season. Wade Phillips will likely want his boys to take care of business quickly so he can get to his feast promptly. The NFL can't be happy about Kellen Clements and company representing half of what is usually a must see game. It won't just be the Triptophan that puts you to sleep around 5:30 EST.

Indy (-11.5) over Atl
Peyton Manning v. Joey Harrington. I don't see how Joey wins anything head to head against Peyton- go carts, golf, SNL hosting,etc. Karma loves Peyton, but hates Joey. Michael Vick started serving his jail sentence though, so 2010 looks bright for the Dirty Birds.
