Thanksgiving Week Itinerary

I hate the NFL schedule makers. Last year, it was the 8-2 Patriots, the year before it was the 6-4 Packers, the year before that it was the 10-1 Titans. The Lions seemingly always have to face a feared foe on Thanksgiving in front of the entire nation....But this year, they got it right. The Lions face the 10-0 Packers. But the Lions have the beautiful opportunity to be the first team to knock the Packers off their undefeated pedestal. If the Lions were to do so, it would not only be a great, positive message to send the rest of the league, but it would be huge in terms of keeping their playoff hopes alive.

As always, there has been a plethora of great articles out there in anticipation of this heated matchup:

My Stuff:

Carolina game: I summarized how confused the Carolina game made me here at Detroit OnLion, and I also broke down Kevin Smith's biggest run over at Pride Of Detroit.
My "On Paper" preview predicted a squeaker. Check it out over at Pride of Detroit. (should be up soon)
I also did an interview with Oak Creek Patch about my thoughts on the Lions and the Thanksgiving Day game.

Stuff Better Than Mine:

Ty continues his excellent "The Watchtower" series on the Thanksgiving game. He also wrote an excellent post on the history of the Thanksgiving game that will make you beg for tomorrow's kickoff.
Neil at Armchair Linebacker brings it again. Though I'm not a fan of his prediction, I am a big fan of his writing.
In a rare move, I am recommending an opponent's blog that has a pretty solid breakdown, though, again, not a fan of the prediction. Check out Cheesehead TV.
