Thanksgiving Thursday kicks off the football week in great fashion. This week like the weeks before will feature many marquee match-ups. We hope you enjoy our selections. Please feel free to express your opinion about our choices for games of the week.
Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1:00PM, ET
The Falcons are coming off a tough game against the Arizona Cardinals which they barely pulled off. The Buccaneers are playing tough football, and will be hard to beat at home. I think Matt Ryan bounces back from a 5 interception performance, but I think the Falcons may fall just short.
San Francisco 49ers @ New Orleans Saints, 4:25PM, ET
The Colin Kaepernick era is under way, and he will take his show on the road to New Orleans. The Saints are one of the hottest teams in the NFL so it will be hard to beat the Saints at home. We all know 49ers defense will play solid ball, but it will be up to the offense to try to keep pace with the high-flying attack that the Saints possess. I’m going with the biased pick to choose the Niners, but this game will go down to the wire.
Green Bay Packers @ New York Giants, 8:20PM, ET (Sunday Night Football)
The bright lights will be shining bright in Gotham City. The Giants need a wakeup call, but playing against the Green Bay Packers does not help the cause. Rodgers and the Packers are flying under the radar this season which is scary for opposing opponents. The Giants are coming off a bye week which helps them to regain their focus. The pass rush has been non-existent for the Giants, and I think that will hurt them against the Pack. It will be hard-fought game for both teams, but I see the Packers coming out on top at the end.
