A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
I can’t believe it’s already week 13 of the football season. I felt like just a few days ago we wondering if the lockout would end in time for the season. It’s crunch time now for fantasy teams as we fast approach the playoffs for the fantasy league.
Let’s take a look at the crucial injuries for this week’s games.
***This post is for 2008. The 2009 Thanksgiving day football TV schedule has been posted.
Week 12 ended last night with the Saints’ demolition of the Packers, and I read somewhere that it was the highest scoring week in the history of the NFL. Pretty exciting stuff.
What will Week 13 have in store?
Well first off, the Sunday load will be a little lighter. That is because Thursday of Week 13 is also Thanksgiving, with three games on display for our viewing pleasure (after we stuff ourselves with turkey and just wanted to lay on the couch in bloated ecstasy).
Follow the link to view the NFL Thanksgiving TV Schedule and get the announcer pairings, point spreads, yada yada.
But there are plenty of interesting and meaningful matchups on Sunday, November 30 — games like the Giants visiting the Redskins, Pittsburgh at New England, New Orleans and Tampa Bay, and…wait for it…Jacksonville and Houston on Monday night! Okay, so that one sucks. Still, any Sunday of NFL games is exciting and many fantasy football league playoff positions will be determined this week.
Loading ...To get you ready, we bring you the NFL Week 13 TV Schedule, Announcer Pairings, Point Spreads, and Over Under odds for all the games on Sunday, November 30 and Monday, December 1.

As noted in a few other recent posts here at Midwest Sports Fans, week 13 of the 2008 college football season is filled with exciting and meaningful matchups. Thus, you may have found yourself asking the following questions:
–Who is favored in the monster Texas Tech-Oklahoma game?
–What is the point spread for Michigan-Ohio State? And will Ohio State and the Tresselinator trounce Michigan like they trounced Michigan State?
–I heard that Penn State is favored by two touchdowns over Michigan State, and that Joe Paterno is actually the human embodiment of the legendary mythical creature, the phoenix. Is this true?
–Did Ron Zook have a Fu Manchu mustache back in the 70s?
The answers to the first three questions are all contained in this post: the College Football Week 13 Point Spreads. (To find out the hilarious answer to the fourth question, you will have to jump over to Chad Baalman’s post about the Illinois Fighting Illini and Ron Zook fighting for their postseason lives this weekend against Northwestern.)
After you are done reviewing the point spreads, hop on over to the College Football Week 13 TV Schedule to plan out your Saturday of watching college football.
