Thanksgiving and football

First, I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you get to spend it with loved ones.  There are so many things I am thankful for, I am not going to even start to name them all.  Just know, the list is very loooooooonnnnng!!!!!!
Now for Football: this is the first time in a long time I can remember that all 3 games on THanksgiving have alot of meaning to them.
1st Green Bay @ Detroit:  The Lions need a win here badly to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.  This is also a big game for them, as it counts as a divisonal game, as well as, a conference game.  Which coming down to the wire could be big espcially if everyones conference records so similar.  On the other hand,  Aaron Rodgers have not lost since last regular season and continue to be on fire.  They are on a quest to run the table and be PERFECT for the season.  The only other team to do that was Tom Brady and the Pats.

2nd: Miami @ Dallas:  This looks to be on the surface not a big game, as the Dolphins are just 3-7.  But, Dallas is 6-4 and right in the middle of the playoff race in the NFC.  If they want to make the playoffs or even better win the NFC East, then they need to beat teams that they should beat, and Miami falls into this category.

3rd: San Francisco @ Baltimore:  This is the battle of the brothers.  Jim and the 49ers come in with the better record at 9-1 and all but have wrapped up the NFC West.  They are now working towards that #2 seed and earning a first round bye in the playoffs.  John on the other hand, is 7-3 and comes in fighting to win the AFC north with the Steelers.  Even if they do not win the north, I think theya re a pretty safe bet for a wild card, but this is a huge game for both!!!!!
