Green Bay Packers (6-4) versus Detroit Lions (2-8) (Green Bay favored at -11 the over/under is 47.5) 12:30 PM EST

The Pontiac Silverdome was able to sell out, to avoid a blackout for Thanksgiving this year.  After surprising NFL fans, with what turned out to be one of the best games of the week, Detroit came out with a win against Cleveland.  In Green Bay was also able to hold onto the win against San Francisco. The Packers dominated the time of possession against the 49ers with 41:39 to 18:21, the Packers had 26 first downs to San Francisco’s 10.  Aaron Rodgers was 32/45 for 344 yards and two touchdowns.  Packers RB Ryan Grant rushed for 129 yards and a score, while Greg Jennings called and five receptions for 126 yards, and one touchdown.  Lions QB Matthew Stafford threw for 422 yards, and five touchdowns against the Browns. Both Calvin Johnson, and Kevin Smith, top to the hundred yard mark in receptions, and both had a touchdown.

The Packers are putting up 26.2 PPG, and their defense is allowing 20.3 PPG.  Detroit is putting up 18.1 points per game, and the defense is allowing 30.1 points per game.  Green Bay is +14 in the turnover ratio, and Detroit is -8. Green Bay is averaging 123 yards on the ground, to Detroit’s 98.5.  In the era, the Packers are putting up 254.9 yards, and Detroit is putting up 213.3.  Green Bay has been fairly well against the run, only allow a 90.7 yards on defense, however Detroit is giving up 275.3 yards on defense through the air.  The mathematical prediction for this game is Green Bay 27 Detroit 14.

Prediction Green Bay owns Detroit’s soul shutout this season, in their last match up, the Packers won 26-0. I think Detroit finds paydirt this week, and Green Bay still puts up 30.  Packers cover 31-10. I like the under in this game, due to Detroit’s inability to score.

Oakland Raiders (3-7) versus Dallas Cowboys (7-3) (Dallas favored by -11, over/under 40) 4:15 PM EST

Well, both teams have covered the spread 5-5 times this year. So it looks like we have another coin flip here.  After a stunning victory last week against Cincinnati, maybe Bruce Gradkowski and the Oakland Raiders are building up momentum. Cincinnati gave up a 17-10 lead, in the final one minute of the game, meanwhile the Raiders scored more points in the final 41 seconds, then they have averaged per game this entire season.  The bangles, who seem to be firing on all cylinders, coughed up the ball, on an Andre Caldwell fumble, which costed them the game. Carson Palmer went 14/22 for 207 yards and zero touchdowns.  Gradkowski, was 17/34 for 183 yards, and two touchdowns.

The mathematical prediction for this game, is Dallas 24 Oakland 13.

Prediction as I knew which Dallas team is going to show up this week, either they are terrible, or they look okay at best. I really can’t find anything, that Oakland can do, so I am going to predict that Dallas shows up this week. Dallas 35 Oakland 9.

New York Giants (6-4) versus Denver Broncos (6-4) (Giants favored by -6.5 over/under 42) 8:20 p.m. EST

The Giants were finally able to put a W in the books last week after four straight losses, Denver, also has four straight losses. They took a pounding last week, in a decisive win against the San Diego Chargers, who crushed them 32-3.  Their last four losses, have been by double digits. The Giants last loss was decided by one point in a 21-20 loss to San Diego. Eli Manning passed for almost 400 yards, and the Giants look like they recovered from a much needed bye.

The Giants are putting up 26.6 points per game, and on defense they are allowing 23.5 PPG.  Denver is only scoring 17 points a game, and their defense is holding opponents to 18.3 PPG.  The Giants are close to and turnovers, and Denver is at an even zero.  The Giants run the ball a bit better than the Broncos with 133.8 yards on the ground, to Denver’s 112.4 yards.  The Giants are also passing for 251.7 yards, to Denver’s 210.6.  The mathematical prediction for this game is the Giants 21 Denver 20.

Prediction the Giants looked to have regrouped since the bye week, and Kyle Orton seems to a lost some of his rhythm.  I like the under in this game, and with the under my suspicion is the game will be close, so I’m going to take Denver +6.5
