Look- I'm gonna make this quick, partially because we're on a time schedule today (off to far-flung family festivities), and also because Thanksgiving never works out in the game-predicting department.  But I have some advice, just a lil' reminder, because the NFL's sickly nephew sometimes clouds the logic of the most rational bettor.  I'm speaking, of course, of the oft-proven to be mythical theory that "Detroit comes to play on Thanksgiving."  You know its variations:  "the Lions play anyone tough," this is their Superbowl," etc ad nauseum.  And this all sounds fantastic and hey, the visiting, now-exposed Titans are laying a very generous 11 point spot to their hosts... but don't fall for it.  Don't stare any part or dimension of this Gifty in the mouth.  Your only reward will be misery.  Take it from a man who who knows.  Just play the Titans giving 11, and enjoy your figgy pumpkin spice bundt cake.

Okay, with the 'Boys and the 'Hawks, let's hope for somewhat of a shootout- enough anyway to surpass the 46 and a half total set down by the Man.  I just feel it's a tad low, most likely because Seattle's not expected to put up in excess of 17.  But it's Thanksgiving, Hasselbeck's had a week to make his back to work transition, so maybe they'll be good for 3 td's whilst their host put up 28 or 31 points.

Tonight, go ahead and take the field goal head start that Philly's extending to the Cards, which I guess is based on the assumption that the next direction of the Eagles'  (read "McNabb's") up-and-down Space Mountain season is a peak.  Well, sir, the Eagles' D just ain't the Giants' D, so here's hoping Arizona's en vogue offense plays it close tonight.

And Happy Thanksgiving and good luck.
