Did OK last week (7-2) Hope to start it off right!
Lions (+9) over the Colts
Colts are the hottest team in the NFL right now. However the Lions are at home and used to playing on thanksgiving. The proved against the Vikings they can play against a passing team. I do think the lions are over rated but I cannot think the Colts will look forward to traveling on a holiday away from their families to play the Lions. I do think the lions have enough offense to keep it close. Detroit has a very fast defensive team and they use their special teams well. If Chicago was just terrible on offense they could have hung with the Colts, but eventually your defense can't do it all. Best way to beat Indy is keep their offense off the field, time consuming drives. Joey and Company on offense have to play well at home!

Eagles (-7) over NYG
No way the Giants have the defense to keep pace with the Eagles. They will score some using the running game because that is Philly's weakness and Tiki should exploit it. However, it was a HUGE hit that Eli received the last time these teams met! Might be in the back of that young mans mind considering the pressure he saw against Atlanta. IMO to many catching threats for NY.

Chicago (+3.5) over Dallas
The best part of both teams is defensively, with the edge going toward Chicago. HOWEVER the bears are used to this and find ways to "win ugly". Dallas hasn't figured this out and I don't think this Thursday is any exception.

Pitt (-10.5) over Washington
A ton of chalk for a pro game, but Washington is that bad. Yes they will stop some of the Steelers drives because the Skins defense is very good. However on offense they are rotten! The blitzing of the Steelers WILL eat Ramsey alive. They reason I'll lay the 10 is I expect some great field position for Pitt though defensive turnovers and special teams. Too much bus for the Redskin defense to stop.

KC (-3) over SD
Watching SD, I'm still not sold! They have played Oakland twice and new Orleans in their last 3 games. Not really offensive firepower in those two teams. ALTHOUGH NO did beat KC!! SD defense isn't NE so the offense should be productive. Honestly I think this game comes down to talent and home field advantage. The raiders gave SD a scare and KC has the talent at Arrowhead to do more.

GL & Cheers
