Turkey Day delight.

Lunch Game..... Houston @ Detroit This will be a decent game to watch as long as Detroit shows their offense. I think Houston pulls away late 34-23

Dinner Game....Washington at Dallas The Cowboys aren't great but watchable...RG3 is very watchable. Dallas usually plays close games. Cowboys win 27-20

Evening Sammich Game...Patriots at Jets. No Gron and Jets have to win....plenty of watchability here. Way too much Rex, but Pats win 34-31

Detroit gets blown out per usual on thanksgiving as will the Jets. Cowboys skins will be close but won't be that great. However, anything beats havin to talk with family about nothing for hours.

You don't need football to ignore your family....you just need a phone to play with

Just hoping the games are all good. Haven't seen a spread on them but can't wait for my annual Thanksgiving tradition of going 0-3 on the games as well.

When I was making my picks for my pool today I was kind of on the fence about picking Houston because of the game being at Detroit and the Jacksonville debacle Sunday but I ended up picking Houston because Detroit has been too inconsistent. I think Calvin Johnson has a hamstring problem also.

I think Dallas will beat Washington in a close game. I think the Patriots will beat the Jets but not sure by how much because the Jets will play like crap one week and then show up the next.

Did you stop picking the ravens after the chiefs debacle. The jag game was simply a team playing flat after a big win combined with looking ahead to another big game. Actually, very predictable. Henne coming in may have been the best thing for Jacksonville. I am pretty sure Gabbert doesn't even look at Blackmon. The important thing is that they pulled their head from their asses and won.

The worry I have today is the health of Jonathan Joseph. Sitting out may be better than a hampered Joseph covering Johnson. The lions won't stop the texans offense, but they might be able to throw on an injured secondary.

At this point as a fan, I don't care about winning or losing as much ad I care about being healthy for the last stretch run. Winning a gimmick holiday game is not that important for the texans. They still have a two game lead on every other AFC team. A lingering injury to Joseph removes Houston as the AFC favorite. Get him healthy.

I didn't factor Joseph not playing. I still think Texans win just not a route.

....ok, never showed it actually touching but the ball changed rotation and went forward before hitting the ground

Lions ball IMO

Lol...not conclusive (meaning you never see it actually touch him)....simple knowledge knows it should've been Lions ball.

14-14

Houston hasn't done anything and every time they go deep to Johnson they score almost immediately thereafter
