Miami (-2.5) over Detroit
The lions are bad and the Miami defense will be all over them today. More than likely K. Jones will not play but it has been a hush hush decision. Even if he plays it will still be difficult for the Lions to move the ball on offense without going 3 and out a lot and Roy williams will be doubled covered and if the safety and CB are in position they will pick it off. Harrington coming back to detroit should be a little more motivation for the fins. they are playing the better football, have the much better defense and should win this game because the Lions are just struggling over the past few weeks.

Denver/KC OVER (38)
These teams have gone over the posted total 8 of the last 11. KC has their starting offense together for the firsttime in a long time. KC will run the ball and after watching LT run through the denver defense at home I am not sure they have the front 4 to stop LT today. Plumer has not impressed me and either has the play call of Shannahan but today I think both offenses come to play and both defenses give up big plays. I think Walker and Green have big days for both their teams and I like the final to have both teams in the 20's.

Dallas (-11) over TB
TB is bad and they are not playing Washington or New Orleans defense today. They are playing a fast Dallas defense that should get a lot of pressure on Gradkowski. TB is limited on offense and theyare older and a bit slower on defense. Dallas should have TO open all day and I think the passing game for big D comes up huge on Turkey day at home against a poor team. The running game of Dallas should wear down the defense of TB and the safeties will have to pick their posion, come up and support the run or stay off and watch TO and Glenn deep. All in all Dallas is the better team, at home. Even coming off a monster win they still will be ready for the Bucs and even a semi decent effort should have them win but more than the points giving. Romo is becoming a threat to make big throws to players and the cowboys have the weapons to make plays after the catch. Like Whitten to make a lot of plays today matched up on LB's for TB and over the middle off playaction. Don't like the special teams for Dallas because Vanderjact is a joke but he can still make a few of the long FG's and the defense will hold off his poor kickoffs.

I hope everyone has a great turkey day and I wish you all a winning day!

Cheers

Denver (+1) over KC
KC gets healthy but even when they started the season they did not look like the KC of old. Yes they are tough at home but I would expect the broncos do not play poorly after blowing a 17 point aginst LT last weekend. This will be a very big game and it rest on the plummer. That is a scary thought but I think Shanny is telling Jake he is getting pulled to get all of his focus tonight and just like when the benching rumors started before I expect the snake to play well. With Walker on the edge he should look to go deep early and often and the older legs trying to cover him I think he has a big advantage. Then I think the plan to rest T. Bell last game pays off tonight. KC at home is very tough but I think the broncos defense avenges themselves and they are a big difference maker, even without a top player in the secondary.
