    The Thanksgiving games are upon us. Vikings with a nice drive for a TD, but have the extra point blocked and the Lions stupidly don't try to return the blocked kick.

    Lions then turn it over on a botched handoff.

    God these post-TD celebrations are truly moronic.

    Jeff. Who do you like in Cowboys-Chargers and Giants-Skins game? I might bet on those games but can't get a read.

    I like it. Better than the individual dancing.

    Wow, do you really want to take the advice of someone who never bets on sports? Anyway, I like the Chargers - the combination of their pass rush and the Dallas troubles in rushing and OL seems like a tough combination for the Cowboys. I wouldn't touch the Giants-Redskins - I don't think there's any way of knowing if the Giants are going to show up given their lost season.

    But don't listen to me!

    Joe Buck doesn’t know the names of the Lions receivers. There’s Marvin Jones and TJ Jones. He doesn’t know the difference.

    I'm an old guy - I don't like the dancing either. But I think these choreographed things aren't only rampant narcissism, they're just plain stupid.

    I remember your great results on TGG's old game picks competition. So I will listen to you. :)

    Yisman. Give me some picks as you are the best in business. Give me your 3-4 locks against the spread this weekend.

    I got a few grays myself, but I like the camaraderie involved in these team celebration. Vikings have been doing it all season too and some funny stuff. I appreciate this much more than ochocinco,Owens look at me celebrations

    Stafford looks pretty bad against a good defense.

    But remember, that was straight up, not against the spread, a much easier task. Anyway, if we were still doing the competition I would indeed have picked the Chargers today. I would have also picked the Vikings, which looks pretty good right now, and I would also have picked Washington. I think they'll win, but I'm just not at all confident that they'll cover a 7-point spread.

    Chargers spread is -1. Almost pick em. Give me your takes on Sunday games and I will parlay all together. So far this is what I will do.

    Chargers -1
    Redskins Moneyline

    Give me 2-3 or games you feel most confident please :)

    Looks like the Lions defense forgot to come out for the second half.

    I like New Orleans + 2 1/2, Jacksonville - 5 1/2, and Carolina - 5.

    Not that I know anything, of course.

    That TD is going to be overturned.

    Lions so incompetent.


    They confirmed it but Detroit took too long to snap the XP

    then they decided to review it again

    Terrible challenge by Minnesota. What the hell are the people upstairs doing?
