Thanksgiving Turkeys

Well, the schedule strikes again. We have three Thanksgiving days games to...look forward to.

As usual, we have the lame slate of lame Dallas/Detroit games and a third game that the NFL at least tries to make a good matchup.

I think it's time to entertain the idea that Detroit and Dallas should no longer have it as a given that they play on Thanksgiving. In fact, I'd bet that a lot of the players and coaches would prefer that.

When was the last time Detroit had given the impression that they would actually win? It's hard to imagine that the game won't end with something along the lines of a 30-10 Tennessee win.

Then there's the Dallas/Seattle game. Again, Tony Romo has proven to any who inquire that his injured pinky is more than capable of putting up points against stiff teams. Unfortunately for the fine fans of Seattle...the Seahawks are the stiffs this week. I expect this one to end with Dallas putting up about 38 points and holding Seattle to about 6.

And the game that 2 weeks ago would have been considered a real barn-burner looks like it will be little more than a coronation for the Cardinals. With what's happened over the past few weeks, I can't see the Eagles being in this one. No matter who starts at QB. I expect this to be a 31-7 Arizona win.

It's too bad, really. Most Turkey games are not very entertaining at all. It would be better if all the turkeys stayed home this year and sent in some better teams.
