Thanksgiving = Football, Football = Thanksgiving. They go together, whether it's Lucy pulling the ball away from Charlie Brown as he runs to kick it, or the Cowboys and Lions hosting their annual games. This years slate is about as good as it can get.
Bears @ Lions
Thursday, 11/27
12:30 PM
Pick: Lions
The early game features two teams filled with talent, but the Bears' locker room is falling apart, while the Lions play well at home. Emotion has never been the problem for Detroit on Thanksgiving, but stupid penalties have held them back. Last year, they were able to snap a 12-year turkey day losing streak. I expect them to make it two in a row as they will soundly beat Chicago, 38-17.

Eagles @ Cowboys

Pick: Cowboys
If Nick Foles was playing, I would take the Eagles simply because this is a game the Cowboys would lose. But, the drop-off at the most critical position in the game will hold the Eagles back. Mark Sanchez is a very capable backup, but I don't see him going into Dallas and winning this game. I see Philly giving this game away, more then Dallas winning it, 24-20.

Seahawks @ 49ers

Pick: Seahawks
Currently the best rivalry in professional sports, emotions always run high throughout this game, and the Thanksgiving lights will only intensify the battle. Both teams know each other well, so picking the winner of this game is a toss-up. I think Richard Sherman will make the game-deciding play, and guide the Seahawks to a 23-20 victory in San Francisco.
