Game 1: Packers at Lions. Green Bay obviously must win the division to make the playoffs, and being a half game behind Detroit, that is not an easy task. It is a must-win game for the Lions too because the Bears are also 6-5. I will be totally shocked if Aaron Rodgers is cleared to play. Look for Rashean Mathis and other former Jaguars.if you watch it. Kickoff is at 12:30 ET on Fox.

 

Game 2: Raiders at Cowboys. Matt McGloin will start for Oakland again. Justin Durant was injured in New Orleans, so I am not sure if he will play. Rashad Jennings, Khalif Barnes, Tony Pashos, and George Selvie definitely will start. The Cowboys are fighting for the division title, so they need to win this game. Kickoff is at 4:30 on CBS.

 

Game 3: Steelers at Ravens. The first Thanksgiving game ever to be televised on NBC iat 8:00 nstead of NFL Network at 8:30, it probably will not affect the playoff races because neither team can catch up with the Bengals. However, it is always fun  to watch Daryl Smith play against the Steelers and we can see him do it again.

 

Of course, I will be rooting for the Packers, Raiders, and Steelers and paying special attention to what the former Jaguars do.
