NFL THANKSGIVING GAME PREDICTIONS

Week 12 Record: 6-7 (.462)
Total Record: 109-65 (.626)

1. Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Thoughts: No Aaron Rodgers for the Packers, but the last time Matt Flynn started against the Lions, he threw for elevendy-billion yards. But that was at Lambeau and the Pack's coming off of a short week and a long, exhausting game. Detroit being at home will likely help them, even though they've been completely lackadaisical the last couple weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if Green Bay wins, but I don't expect it.

Pick: Lions

2. Oakland Raiders at Dallas Cowboys

Thoughts: This game could either be really fun or really horrible (it'll likely be both at the same time). The Raiders are decisively mediocre, but the Cowboys are, well, decisively mediocre. I'm going with Dallas and they should win, but the Raiders, if they're anything, they're spunky. So I wouldn't be shocked if the Raiders make a game of it.

Pick: Cowboys

3. Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens

Thoughts: Both of these teams are mediocre at best (noticing a trend?), but I think home field will play a part in the result. Plus the Ravens already lost to the Steelers this year, and it's very difficult to sweep a division opponent. This will likely be a defensive minded game.

Pick: Ravens
