Best day of games in recent memory!

The undefeated Packers at the upstart Lions.

The Cowboys host the hot Dolphins

The 49ers will hook up with the #1 seed Ravens in Baltimore.

Thoughts?

I think Green Bay will win by 35 or lose on a last second FG

I think Dallas will win by 24 or lose a heartbreaker.

I think Baltimore needs Ray Lewis to slobberknock the 49ers. We'll learn a lot about the 49ers IMO.

The brother v. brother story line is intersting. I hate both of them, but it should make for some good drama.

Ridiculous the 9ers have to cross the country to play on a short week

Last 3 years

Opponents 126
Lions 46

Yet, I still agree with you.

I meant traditionally. I am going back over the past 15-20 years.

I don't have that kind of energy....do know they've lost at least their last 4.

Remember the coin toss debacle against Pittsburgh in which they never recovered...or win the rest of the season.

One of my first Thanksgiving memories they beat the Steelers 45-3 in the mid 80's.

Should be a great day. The Fins are playing well and should make for a great game against the Cowboys. 49ers have a huge test and maybe people will start to respect them if they win. Can the Lions upset the Packers and end the quest for perfection? I'm excited.

Bad feelings for those of you that never really witnessed Barry Sanders and what he could do.

Chick just left out an entire line of the national anthem.....ouch.

Edit: she took a gigantic pause after missing a word, but she did get the line out. Still, that's gotta suck.
