Let's see GB 10 straight Turkey day wins at Det? If i heard correctly. Maybe 9. Either way it's time for Detroit to beak that streak.
Luv me some Lions even though they have been a mess as of late. I just don't see Flynn coming into motown and dominating. Then again Glennon was able to...but this game has
Detroit written all over it. lots of Calvin & reggie

Green bay will likely call upon matt flynn to lead the helm but this is a good thing for us. He wasn't good enough to beat out terrel pryor, matt mccloin, or jeff tuel of all people 
. He was effective in the fourth quarter only because minnesota went into prevent mode. Detroit is a far more talented team than minnesota and i believe flynn will struggle big time against this detroit front four.

A very interesting side note, teams coming off overtime games on 3 days rest are 1-12 ats in the nfl. Add to that that green bay has to play on the road at an early start time on thanksgiving and all signs point to an absolutely gassed team that will run out of gas in the second half against this talent laden lion team.
Lions -5.5 game of the week for me.
Thanks for the insight. I endorse your play. Revenge is usually an overrated factor in determining the outcome of a football game, but the time has come for the Lions to avenge their division rival. They have lost 9 of their last 10 against GB, and went into Lambeau without Megatron & Nate Burelson in early October and fought admirably. They lost a close game, and Aaron Rodgers made a huge 83-yd play to James Jones that sealed the deal. Anyone that took the Packers that day knew they got away with one. It was a really competitive game with the Pack at full strength (Rodgers, Cobb, and Finley healthy too). The years of being the Packers whipping boy will end this Thanksgiving. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and Detroit is the healthy team. I look for the Lions to unleash their furry on the Aaron Rodger-less packers. The fact that they laid a stinker at home against the Bucs gives me even more conviction that they come to play. They were probably just looking ahead to this game. To make matters worse, you have linemen on the Packers writing a check they can't cash. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Flynn gets KO'ed in this one and we see some more of Tolzien.
Happy thanksgiving everyone and good luck.
LIONS in a comfortable win.

All this talk about the "toothless" Packers, minus Aaron Rodgers. Flynn did OK in his first out for the Pack. Maybe we should be talking about how badly Stafford has performed lately. Maybe we should be focusing on their inexcusable 5 TO performance ,last game. Maybe we should be talking about a Green Bay win here ,knocks the Lions into 3rd place,with the Bears and Pack vying for 1 st Place. Maybe the good people of Green Bay,Wisconsin haven't mailed in the season yet. YEAH- "JUST MAYBE"!

Detroit's passing defense is bad when you let Glennon kid pass for almost 300 yds, then let Big Ben pass for 360 yds the previous week. Packers defense is just a bit better
Eddie Lacy might have a more difficult outing this time, but if he gets going Green Bay is right in this game. the Lions have been absoutely stuffing runners the last 4 games i've checked. Green Bay is average in the run stuffing department but Detroit couldn't take advantage and Megatron being out hurted the Lions, but now with Megatron back in I can see Reggie Bush having a big day.
that being said, i think Packers passing attack will keep them in this game but will come up short. i can see a 27-21 type game... gonna wait till gameday to put a play if line goes to 7 or higher i'm taking the Packers. just can't see the Lions winning by more than a touchdown.
Sip on that plus money honey!

"you better check that, my friend". I know I'm Arron Rogers. No thats not it, your that Matt Flynn guy who little up Detroit the last time you played them.
You Lions backers better hope that Flynn doesn't come out and play like he did last week. When did the Pack put him in? 21 of 36 1 TD 218 yds. You packer backers should be hoping Flynn does come out that way. Can't see Eddie doing much against the $ run D.
Lions you should have no trouble covering BUT. This is Thanksgiving Day. You tend to look like hapless morons. And Tampa Bay just handed you your behind. What am I thankful for? That I could care less who wins I am a Bear fan. I am would love to see another tie this week as long as it is OVER 49.

Vue is on Greenbay and Josh Sitton from the cheese sticks called The Lions and the coach a "bunch a scumbags!!". What does that all mean:
1. fade Vue
2. Detroits takin heads in this game, Green bay is gonna have megatron and a pile of Bush in their face all day. You know what happens when you have too much Bush, you can't focus.
3. You give any team material or a reason to play harder usually they prevail big.
Seriously though back to 1. Vue is on Green Bay
Detroit Rock City all day!
FOR THE LAAAAAAGE

All three games on Thanksgiving have the home team as favorite. I have a gut feeling that one home team will win and cover the spread, another home team will win and not cover the spread, and the the third home team will lose to the dog! I think that Cowboys will win and cover......Lions win and not cover......And Ravens lose to Steelers in a close one! GL and enjoy your Thanksgiving!
