Thanksgiving, More than just turkey, great day for sports as well.

Thanksgiving Day will allow people all over Michigan to witness one of the most meaningful games in a long time between the visiting Green Bay Packers, and the Detroit Lions. The teams are in first and second place in the NFC North respectively. The Pack comes in with a very impressive 9-1 record and the Lions come into this game struggling the past few weeks and dropping two straight. The 6-4 Lions have been very inconsistent all season, with a running-game that has been terrible, allowing defenses to really lock down on Jon Kitna and the passing game. I think the Lions will take this game, as they have played very well at Ford Field in front of their home fans. This game could make or break the season, as the Lions have a very tough schedule ahead including wrapping up the season in Green Bay in a hostile environment at Lambeau Field. In the past the Lions always seem to play well on Thanksgiving despite being a mediocre team with the exception of two years ago when Peyton Manning and the Colts came into Ford Field and completely embarrassed the home team, on way to Peyton's record breaking season of 49 TD's.
