    Daft's Turkey Day Picks!

    Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!! Win or lose tomorrow it should be a great day of family, good food, and good football. Well ok maybe not "good" football seeing as the matchups are what they are, but at least they'll be thursday games on TV! Save for the giants/broncos :beer2:

    Got 2 plays for now, still trying to decide on Cowboys game. Both plays are to win 1 unit.

    Packers -11 - Tons of injuries in this game, but I think the Lions are hurt more by them than the Pack. Offensively not having Stafford AND megatron is devastating, I just don't see how the lions will be able to keep up with Rodgers and everybody else. Sure GB's defense is banged up but how much are the lions really going to be able to take advantage of that? Last game was 26-0, I don't expect that much of a beatdown but I a 2 TD victory is likely.

    Giants -6 - Both of these teams got off to hot starts but have cooled lately once they started facing off against good teams. I think Orton plays this game all the way through, but I just don't fear him or the running game of Denver. In fact the only Bronco i'd be worried about is Brandon Marshall. I think the Giants have enough weapons to get this done, Manning is a pro and I think he leads his team to victory. In a pick the winner situation I'm going with the Giants.

    Back with more possibly tomorrow, good luck everybody and have a great Thanksgiving!! :thumbs:

    Well it appears Stafford and Megatron will be taking the field, although it remains to be seen how effective they will be. I like the Packers -11 play less now, but I don't feel like buying it back on the otherside. I'll try a team total play on the Lions though.

    Lions Team Total OVER 17.5 (-125) .5 to win .4 units

          Thought I had a chance on both first half plays, oh well :beer2:


          Laying off GB at the half, but going with the under.

          2nd Half UNDER 23.5 - 0.5 units

                  Thanks Rah, same to you!!

                  Nice bounce back on the Dallas game, now 4-3-1 for +1.1 units.

                  Line has continued to drop on the NYG game, should have held out it looks like. Gotta take another half unit stab at it. Also adding a Denver team total play, I think 20 is too much. They have not scored more than 20 since week 6.

                  Giants -4 (-120) - 0.5 units

                  Denver team total UNDER 20 (-120) - 0.5 units

                  Good luck everybody! :thumbs:
