This is the one weekend that everyone will get something they want. That's right kiddies! Christmas comes a little early for all the football fans out there. Every game this weekend has a different meaning, but there are those that have BCS and historic implications on the future of both the NFL and the BCS Standings.
So here's the rundown on the games I think will leave all of us breathless.
Thanksgiving Day
Tennessee Titans vs. Detroit Lions
The Lions flat out stink. There is no nice way to say it, and no nice way to deny it. The Detroit Lions are on the verge of making history...and not in a good way. And tomorrow, they are facing a team that is flat out pissed off.
The Titans don't stink...they're just misunderstood. We would like to say that about them, but that isn't the case this time. They're good. They just suffered their first loss of the season to Brett Favre (nothing to be completely mad about). But they're massively motivated to get back on the winning track tomorrow against a team that can't seem to find the 'W' column.
And it won't get any better in a game where we just found out that Ford Field was sold out. Anybody else find that odd?
Final Score: Titans 31, Lions 16
Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys
The Seahawks are going to give Mike Holmgren another heart attack by the end of the season. In his final season, his Hawks have lost control of the NFC West to the Arizona Cardinals. The Hawks are not going to the postseason for the first time in a long time. To top it all off, they have to see and hear someone tomorrow that many of the males on this site would rather see and not hear: Jessica Simpson.
The Cowboys are back on the winning track since Tony Romo returned to his position as the starting quarterback. T.O. is starting to play like he used to, and it's paying off. Even with all the drama involving "The Artist formerly known as "Pacman"," the Cowboys are even more motivated to reclaim the NFC East heading into the final stretch of their divisional games. With a failing Seahawks team coming to town, the only thing we all can hope for is that Jessica isn't singing the national anthem.
Final Score: Cowboys 30, Seahawks 13
Arizona Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Eagles
One lifetime ago, the Eagles were good, and the Cardinals just plain sucked. My how the tables have turned this season. The Eagles could have a new coach and new quarterback by the beginning of next season. The team is in a state of disarray, and the city knows it. After two of its teams broke the championship drought over the last few months (Soul and Phillies), the Eagles look to be a team that is going to make house in the bottom of the NFC East.

No way Florida State puts up 30 on Florida. Only Ole Miss has accomplished that...

it's worth a shot. Though true, they are more capable of putting up 30, but they might not.

Hi Ron,
This is an impressive piece of work. I can just imagine how much time you had to spend researching all of these teams. Do you sleep? I gave it ****.
Now about your picking the Beavers in the Civil War. While I grant you that is one possible outcome, I think this year it's more likely to be the Ducks. Please see my article: "2008 Civil War: The Game and Prediction," for how I arrived at that conclusion.
Overall, this is very good work. Good job!

I think OU losing will actually send Texas Tech to the Big 12 Championship game as winners of the South. However, it would help Texas a great deal in terms of getting to Miami...
