HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!       THURSDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2018

THREE GAMES ON THE THURSDAY SLATE

FIRST MATCH -UP

BEARS AT LIONS

We know the Lions overall play better on Turkey Day as they are one of the main staple teams on this day. Both teams  coming off wins. Two weeks both teams met and Bears won at home as the defense of the Bears was the ringmaster who tamed the kittens from Detroit. Chase Daniel has been called into duty for this one. Mitch Trubisky can’t go on a short week with shoulder injury.  We liked the Bears in this one even with the change at quarterback. Bears defense is the key to this victory and they are that good to stop the Lions and Statford for the second time in three weeks. Plus Chase Daniel knows this offense in his sleep. He dreams about this offense. Watch him even run it better than Mitch Trubisky. Plus do we want to see the Coach for the Lions, Matt Patricia, eating a turkey leg with that grizzly Muslim beard? Probably has turkey skin still stuck in there from last year’s turkey.

OUR PICK:BEARS

REDSKINS AT COWBOYS

Sometimes it takes another Cowboy to beat a Cowboy. With Alex Smith out, the Washington Redskins are relying on ole Colt McCoy and his six shooter. He’s a Texan, maybe he grew up a Houston Oiler fan, but he’s coming in blasting like Yosemite Sam.

The Cowboys will be the dirty Varmints.  Then you have the Cowboys, a team from which you have no clue what you will see each week. Last Week they won over the Falcons. Weeks ago they looked lost against the Titans. The Cowboys, like the Lions, play well on Thanksgiving. Another prime time game for the Cowboys which is the norm because it’s all the time. Both these teams play in an awful division where all the teams suck. The Skins lead this sorry arse division. Who knows, maybe the Giants could crawl all the way back and win it. The Eagles are still hung over from the Superbowl. Like the factory worker living off his own high school highlights. Al Bundy is a perfect example. I see a close game since they are a big rival. The Redskins defense will just do enough to hold Elliot from breaking this thing open into his own highlight reel on turkey day. Spanky Peterson will get a couple extra whacks with the belt in warmups that will fire him up. The key stat is, last time the Skins played Dallas on Thanksgiving, Skins won with RG-III. Colt McCoy came into that game to seal the deal. I can see Colt McCoy being able to do some things  Alex Smith could not and this is why the Skins win this on the road.

OUR PICK:REDSKINS

FALCONS AT SAINTS

RIP ATLANTA FALCONS… Today Drew Brees will be the reaper to the end of your season. The Falcons are now 4-6. They looked good a few weeks back when they evened their record up at 4-4. It took all their mite and fight to crawl their way back to 500. Cant see the Falcons on short week traveling to the best team in the leagues home and winning today. With the loss they will be 4-7. To make the playoffs they would need to win all five games remaining to go 9-7. If 9-7, record will work as a wild card record. Too many teams jumbled up as well. Brees and the Saints march all over the dirty birds at home.

OUR PICK: SAINTS
