Lions have to play angry Titans now

Turkey Day Games Tennessee Titans (-11½) over DETROIT LIONS This slate of Thursday games is pretty pathetic. Don't feel so bad if you miss a few snaps while you eat some turkey. The Titans loss last week wasn't exactly a fluke, but it's far from a sign of future doom.

Game of the Week Carolina Panthers (+2½) over TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS This is a good strong match up between two tough teams from the NFC South. I like the Tampa defense better, other than the stiff formerly known as Ronde Barber.

NFL Picks of the Week: Week Five

Game of the Week PHILADELPHIA EAGLES over Washington Redskins (+5½) At this point, any time two NFC East teams meet, that's our game of the week. Not only does this division feature some of the toughest rivalries, but all four teams are playing great football.

NFL Picks of the Week: Week Four

Game of the Week TENNESSEE TITANS (-3½) over Minnesota Vikings This is such a crappy slate of games that the game of the week comes down to Kerry Collins against Gus Ferotte.

NFL Picks of the Week: Week Three

Game of the Week GREEN BAY PACKERS (+2½) over Dallas Cowboys This game has the potential to be every bit the thriller that the Cowboys and Eagles recent Monday Nighter was.

NFL Picks of the Week: Week Two, the Matt Cassel Era Begins

Game of the Week Philadelphia Eagles (+6½) over DALLAS COWBOYS I was considering picking Jets/Pats as my game of the week.
