The first of the three Thanksgiving Day games features the undefeated Green Bay Packers as they travel to Detriot to take on the Lions. This will be one of the biggest games of the season for both of these teams.
And to be completely honest with you, I’m not sure I will be able to consume any turkey until after the game.
Update: All but one of the spreads are in now. Post updated with the late-addition spreads and my picks.
Damnit.
Another subpar week (4-7-2) has me at 72-78-7 for the season, a winning percentage of 45.9%. That just sucks. We all figured this season would be a bit unpredictable because of the lockout, and certainly it has been (the 49ers are 9-1!!!), but I never thought I’d struggle this much.
It’s time for a strong finish down the stretch, beginning with this week’s Thanksgiving Day games.
Update: The NFL Week 17 TV schedule, point spreads, and picks post is up.

Well, things were not looking so good for me at about 4:15 today.
After my stellar comeback performance in Week 11, I “shot” out of the gates with a 4-6 record during the early games.
Fortunately, I had much better luck (and believe me, I understand how much luck is involved picking NFL games successfully) in the afternoon, nailing all four games plus the Sunday nighter.
This left me at a very respectable 9-6 for the week (87-64 overall) heading into Monday night.
For those of you planning to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend with some NFL wagering, hopefully I can lead you in the right direction again. There are plenty of division matchups this weekend, which are always difficult to predict, so we’ll see if I can keep up my .576 winning percentage.
