Friendly reminder that the first game tomorrow is at 12:30 PM EST, rather than the usual TNF start time of 8:15. There are three Thursday games this week (due to Thanksgiving), so get your picks in sooner than you would if you usually wait until Thursday to submit.

Bills@Cowboys is the game worth watching? It has the biggest playoff implications, sure, but that's all it has going for it.

Pretty lame Thanksgiving overall, but I'd rank the games in the order NO@ATL, CHI@DET and BUF@DAL. The NFC South rivalry should be good, especially because the Saints have to make up for their loss against the Falcons earlier this season. Bears vs. Lions is another divisional game, so that's at least something. The Bills are just going to get clobbered by the Cowboys.

Not if Jason Garret or the referees have anything to say about it

Any chance I could get you to guarantee the Patriots will get destroyed by the Texans?

Well that prediction was way off.  What made you actually think that the Cowboys had a legit shot at winning against the Bills their defense has been bad to mediocre all season and their offense has been highly overrated.  The Bills on the other hand have a decent offense and a legitimate top five defense.

I mean, to be fair to the prediction, the Bills have taken advantage of an absolute cupcake schedule so far. Before today, they had only played four teams who weren't at least 3 games below .500, and they were 1-3 in those games. The last time Buffalo came out against a halfway decent NFC East team, they got absolutely flattened. It wasn't unreasonable to think that it could happen again.

Chris Hu hates the Cowboys with passion, so anytime the Cowboys mess something up, he writes a "Cowboys so overrated" post.

Either way, Bills@Cowboys was a onesided game that didn't have much to offer. Thread title so bad.

Everybody hypes up the Cowboys despite the fact that they are not a very good team.  In the last 25 years they only had halfway decent season when they had very weak schedules they always choke when they have a harder schedule after having a decent season.

Well the Eagles would have won the division already if they would have been healthy all season.

You can see why Matt Ryan is called 'Matty Ice'-- when it gets to the big moments, he always just freezes on the spot.

One prime example of the Cowboys being overrated and overhyped is Pro Football Focus rating Amari Cooper as the best receiver in the NFL but the truth is he is not even in the top 5 and is not even the best NFL receiver in Texas that would be DeAndre Hopkins of the Texans.

I will continue to complain about thread titles when the original poster mixes up the order of words and says "title threads" instead of thread titles. And yes, thread titles have been a more interesting topic than the Thanksgiving games themselves.

Read no further than original thread post. One of the headlines is "Rudolph Injured"... Rudolph has since been beaten in the head with his own helmet, and more recently benched. I'm strongly considering hosting this thread next year so I can shit out all your complaints.
