All these terrible Thanksgiving games to be thankful for.  God bless us, every one.

New England Patriots at Detroit Lions:

The Lions never win on the road.  Or at home much either.  And NEVER on Thanksgiving.  Maybe this is their year...  Winner: Patriots

New Orleans Saints at Dallas Cowboys:

Dallas has an off year, they fire their coach.  Saints has an off year, and they are still 7-3.  Winner: Saints

Cincinnati Bengals at New York Jets:

I keep picking the Bengals and am wrong week after week.  I think they have a real shot here, believe it or not, but I just have to break the trend, even if it means being wrong.   Winner: Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars at New York Giants:

The Giants played more like I thought they would, the Jaguars the exact opposite.  The Jags are to bad to keep winning...I hope.  Winner: Giants

Pittsburgh Steelers at Buffalo Bills:

Yes, they did surprise last week, but I don't see the book smart QB making through this.  Winner: Steelers

Minnesota Vikings at Washington Redskins:

With everything going on, the logical choice is the Skins.  However, I am bitter, so suck it.  Winner: Vikings

Carolina Panthers at Cleveland Browns:

Somewhere, the football gods decided that McCoy had to be hurt so Delhomme could play his old team.  No matter what happens, this is going to be terrible.  Winner:  Browns

Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons:

This would be an awesome game to watch, but since I can't (thanks Redskins), I am going to have to picture it.  While I am still picking the Packers in the Superbowl, I can see this being an off week.  I don't see the Packers shutting down both Roddy White and Michael Turner. Winner: Falcons

Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans:

An amazing fact, Vince Young has only played this match up twice, winning both.  Rusty Smith will make his debut and having seen him in person, I am not impressed.  Even with the terrible secondary of the Texans, I just don't see how the Titans win unless CJ has a 300 yard game.  Dark times are upon us.  Winner: Texans

Kansas City Cheifs at Seattle Seahawks:

Ughh...next.  Winner: Seahawks

Miami Dolphins at Oakland Raiders:

Miami is going the wrong direction.  Raiders are still the Raiders, so it is an even match up. Winner: Raiders

Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears:

Someone please stop Jay Cutler from looking like he may not be the worst QB ever.  I think this is a good week for it.  Winner: Eagles

St. Louis Rams at Denver Broncos:

Don't like the Rams out of the dome.  Winner: Broncos

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Baltimore Ravens:

Hmmm...I like the upset here.  Just one of those games.  Freeman, don't fail me now.  Winner: Buccaneers

San Diego Chargers at Indianapolis Colts:

Wow, the Colts get the two teams they struggle with most back to back.  I assume Gates will be back, go Chargers.  Winner: Chargers

San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals:

Wow...really Monday Night Football.  The league should be ashamed.  I am ashamed to pick this game.  Winner: 49ers
