NFL Week 12 - The Turkey Day Massacre

[Sol-Blackguy]

Fucking work schedule is killing me, going to be late to the party for a while. But 4 things:
-Mathew Stafford is a fucking beast.
-Cinci is going to be the worst looking playoff team this year
-Looking for Oakland to upset at the Deathstar tomorrow.
-Who the fuck says Turkey Day?!

And that's it, I'm out. Gonna be working my ass off for the next 2 weeks.

-Cinci is going to be the worst looking playoff team this year

Green Bay @ Detroit - The Lions? Winning streak? Good God. Still possible if at least Calvin Johnson plays. That and if the Packers don't show up, like they have(n't) for 50% of their games.

Oakland @ Dallas - I want to pick the Raiders. I wouldn't be surprised if they win at all, but I think Dallas figures it out (again..) and takes this one without too much trouble.

NY Giants @ Denver - Orton is back and Eli is not exactly the most accurate passer as of late. Denver's veteran secondary makes Eli look like Derek Anderson and win easily.

Miami @ Buffalo - Buffalo sucks, and Marijuana is now proven to improve your skills at football

Seattle @ St. Louis - I was a Rams fan once... Seriously, this game is the worst of the week for sure. I don't think I've watched either team play a single game this season.

Washington @ Philadelphia - Washington quietly has a very good defense. McRib drops a bone, Eagles lose a close one.

Tampa Bay @ Atlanta - Freeman has potential, but not yet. Atlanta rolls.

Indianapolis @ Houston - I like Houston to bounce back. They nearly beat the Colts last time, I think they can do it this time.

Cleveland @ Cincinnati - Brady Quinn threw 4 TDs against the Lions. He's the future!

Carolina @ NY Jets - J E S T JEST JEST JEST

Kansas City @ San Diego - I like Chris Chambers to get 4 touchdowns and 350 yards and lose in a shootout, because my opponent in FF has SD DEF and I have Chambers. Realistically though, chargers roll.

Jacksonville @ San Francisco - Bipolar team with a good record vs bipolar team with a bad record. I like the niners to win in overtime.

Arizona @ Tennessee - Homer. Also, Arizona's rush defense isn't very good and Chris Johnson on the other hand, is very good.

Chicago @ Minnesota - Brett Favre. MVP? At 40? Really? Looks like it so far. He's on pace to throw a sub-10 interception season, something I don't think he's ever done. Chicago's D is the worst it's been in 10 years probably, and they have an interception prone QB against one of the better D's in the league. Minnesota by 80 points

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore - Steelers are in some trouble here. They play Big Ben and Ray Lewis ends his career and leaves him paralyzed from the waist down. They do the smart thing and bench him, and they have to start Dennis Dixon who will probably throw 5 INTs. They're going to lose, either way.

New England @ New Orleans - The Patriots have played a very good D three times this year. The Jets, the Broncos, and now, the Saints. They lost against the Jets and Broncos. I think that's going to to continue. Probably still a very close game. Saints by 3.

Green Bay @ Detroit - I don't see this as a trap game for GB

Oakland @ Dallas - I think it'll be a repeat of last year for the defense, now... the offense I have no idea, but they still win due mainly to the defense and lack of offense of the raiders.

NY Giants @ Denver - Orton returns to form just in time to knock the Giants back a peg in the NFC east race.

Miami @ Buffalo

Seattle @ St. Louis -

Washington @ Philadelphia -

Tampa Bay @ Atlanta - Turner

Indianapolis @ Houston - I'll take this upset because I like Houston a lot, even though Indy has been lucky in close games and Houston has been unlucky (aka shit kicker).

Cleveland @ Cincinnati - lolcleveland

Carolina @ NY Jets - For miz

Kansas City @ San Diego -

Jacksonville @ San Francisco

Arizona @ Tennessee - VY gets credited with another win

Chicago @ Minnesota - lolzcutler

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore - Banged up Ben and lack of Troy=loss

New England @ New Orleans - Cmon, Perfect season.

[Bipolargod]

i like the browns for the upset, they showed last week they have some form of an offense, yea it was detroits defense but 4 td's on any team is kinda hard imo, and i have arizona over tennessee

Does this thread keep disappearing for everyone else?

Sol-Blackguy's avatar had me rollin'

The NFL needs to get better teams on Thanksgiving. Fuck this tradition of Cowboys and Lions. Nobody cares about the Lions, and I only watch the cowboys to see if they lose.

[Kyo]

very good D Saints

lol, someone has missed some games. Their rush defense has been suspect against good backs and their secondary is very thin.

[Zilla]

So Stafford is gonna start with a bad shoulder. I don't like how this is going to end.

Made the Packers and Lions game at least a little more interesting. It's rare as hell to see someone listed as doubtful end up actually playing though, seems like only the first or second time I've seen that this year.

edit: beaten by a couple seconds D:

The Patriots have played a very good D three times this year. The Jets, the Broncos, and now, the Saints. They lost against the Jets and Broncos. I think that's going to to continue. Probably still a very close game. Saints by 3.

They lost to the Jets in Week 2 when Brady was still on the mend and the defense had blaring holes (Mayo was out with an injury) and hadn't learned to work together yet. They lost to Denver in Week 5 in overtime for similar reasons - Brady was still rusty and while the defense was more unified they showed the second half issues/fatigue that have been a problem all year long. Plus Matt Light went out in the 4th quarter so that didn't help any.

Since then Brady's issues have worked themselves out, players have come back from injury, and even Maroney seems to be getting his act together a little. The only problem that persists is the lackluster second half defense.

Oh and who the hell have the Saints played? They're the only team in their division with a record over 500, and only TWO TEAMS they've played so far have a record over .500 now - the Giants and the Eagles both at .600, and even then they're not very good or are beat up. Coming up their games against +500 opponents are the Pats and the Lolboys. Their schedule is a CAKEWALK.

Well, I feel as if we'll be having a "Here lies Matthew Stafford. He was a brave soul.." after this game.

[Zilla]

They must really hate Culpepper lol.

[Akiyama]

They must really hate Culpepper lol.

Megatron seems to. Every time he's about to start, Megatron's hurt again.

[Zilla]

Way to start the game with a fumble.

[Chun Liroy]

Why didn't the cowboys trade for calvin also lolGB
