Thanksgiving Football Game Previews

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Tomorrow there are 3 football games on the schedule and they all will be great. Here is a preview of all of them:

Lions (4-6) Vs. Texans (9-1)--This is the early game and will be interesting for a variety of reasons. The Lions are currently reeling and have lost 8 straight games on Thanksgiving, but if they want to keep their slim playoff chances alive then this game is a must win. The Texans are coming off an emotional win vs Jacksonville that should not have been so difficult and will be trying to prove themselves as the NFL's best team this weekend after the 49ers dominant performance Monday Night. Expect Arian Foster and Andre Johnson to have their way with the Lions D but also look for Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford to get back on the right page (For God's Sake the Texans D gave up 236 yards to Justin Blackmon).

Redskins (4-6) Vs. Cowboys (5-5)--The Skins admittedly know they're out of the playoff race; however, the Cowboys by some miracle still find themselves in it. With a win on Thursday the Boys would find themselves just a half game back of the Giants going into Sunday. The Cowboys need to win this game if they want to play football in January. This is also a great test for RGIII and the Redskins as the Cowboys boast a fierce pass rush with Demarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff and a standout corner in Morris Claiborne. Also, with a win on Thursday the Redskins could find themselves in the mix for the postseason.

Patriots (7-3) Vs. Jets (4-6)-- The Pats can all but lock up the division with a win Thursday. They are 3 games up in the division and have won 4 straight games. Rob Gronkowski is going to be out for a few weeks with a broken forearm, but don't expect the Patriots to miss a beat. The Patriots offense is not centered around Rob Gronkowski, it is centered around Tom Brady, and Tom Brady will find somebody to throw to. The Jets are an awful football team, they have an incompetent quarterback and a loud coach, a loss on primetime TV to the Pats on Thanksgiving will end their season and probably lead to Tebow Time. Also, the Patriots defense is starting to look very good and Devin McCourty has finally settled into his role at safety.
