YTD 46-40 plus 18.6 units Plays 1-5 with a 5 a rarity
The 2 strongest plays of the weekend are today's games.
Packers -7 In the first meeting between these two teams the Packers rushed for 200 yards in 35 carries. I see more of the same today. In their 2 games played in domes this year they have scored 30 and 24 points in those games. They are leading the league in rushing right now and since Favre's injury have just been pounding opponents. The defense has been playing much better since the acquisition of Grady Jackson and Larry Smith. In their last three games versus TB, SF, and Phil they have given up only 38 points.
As for the Lions since their opening game against Arizona where they scored 42 points they have only hit 20 once and that was against the Raiders. In a west coast offense a qb should hit about 60% of his passes. This year Harrington has completed only 53.8 percent of his passes. They have major injury problems at wide reciever. Hakem their starting wide reciever is only averaging 8.5 yards a catch. Neither Schroeder or Hakem does a
getting rid of bump and run coverage. The running game is non existent as when Stewart went down so did their running game.
Which team do you think is older? That is the Detroit Lions as they are the second oldest team in the league. They will wear down as the game goes on. The Packers have won the last 6 meetings between the two teams. The last time they played on Thanksgiving the Lions did cover but needed 2 touchdowns in the last 4 minutes of the game when they were trailing by 16.
Packers win big today Green Bay 4 units.
Dallas -3 The Cowboy defense is playing lights out and nobody should want to play in big D anymore. The weakness of the Miami offensive line will be exploited today. Miami's bland offense is easier to prepare for and I expect the Dallas defense to dominate. Quincy Carter is like Jeckyl and Hyde at home and on the road and I expect them to be able to put up a few points today. The schedule makers also helped out Dallas by having Miami play on Sunday night. Playing those Cowboys for 4 units.
Good luck to everyone and may you have a happy Turkey day!
