Agreed, their Special Teams & O is killing them. The D has actually shut down Cutler & Forte.

I don't think Detroit even makes the playoffs.

I don't know about that. They lost to the 49ers on a 4th & goal with under 2 mins to go. Those 8-1 49ers and a TD loss to the Falcons and this loss to the Bears is pretty good in today's NFL. They have a good shot to make playoffs as a wildcard. I see the 2 NFC wildcard spots between the Lions, Bears, Falcons & Cowboys.

Who had the bright idea to put Miami on thanksgiving?

??? what's wrong with Miami on Thanksgiving ? They hold the record for the most points scored on a thanksgiving day game (since 1970) when they scored 55 on the St Louis Cardinals in 1977.

Their previous appearances were - 73 , 77 , 93 , 99 , 03 , and 06. - 4 games were against Dallas , 1 against Detroit , and the game against St Louis.

Fast track, give me GB TT over the max. I saw look ahead in the Tampa game yet they were still focused enough to get the W. Det. D may stop the floodgates for a bit, but it will only be a matter of time as GB gets 4tds +. Total over may be a good look with the Packs penchant for giving up chunks of yardage.
McCarthy has his teams prepared for battle. Dom will find a way to create pressure on Staff. with blitz's and man to man.

GB TT over, jennings scoring prop over are the ones that stick out. GB did not fire at Jennings too much yest. and Turkey day will be his day.

I have no doubt that the Lions will score on the Packers defense. Will they score enough to win? Maybe not, but if they can get to Rodgers they have a fighting chance. If Starks is unable to go, that will help them as well, they are statistically bad against the run, but that's mostly due to a few big runs a game- I don't see Grant hurting them that much. My guess is that Rodgers will torch them down the middle at least a few times though, as that seems to be the soft spot of the defense. Look for Finley to have a big day.
