NFL Picks: Week 12
Things I'm Thankful For Edition
Green Bay at Detroit
What I'm Thankful For: Live Free or Die Hard on DVD
Santa sends his Christmas list to John McClane.
Pick: Detroit
New York Jets at Dallas
What I'm Thankful For: Wake Forest basketball's 2008 recruiting class
Skip Prosser's final recruiting class should have the Deacs back in the upper-echelon of the ACC by next season. Not bad for a football school.
Pick: Dallas
Indianapolis at Atlanta
What I'm Thankful For: That my parents no longer get the NFL Network
Comcast recently put the NFL Network on the 'digital sports' tier, which means that the channel has disappeared without fanfare from most homes in the D.C. area, including at my mom and dad's house where I'll be eating Thanksgiving dinner. It's not often I say this but, "thanks, Comcast".
Pick: Indianapolis
Oakland at Kansas City
What I'm Thankful For: Fried pickles
Fried pickle, sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter;

What I'm Thankful For: Fried pickles
Fried pickle, sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter;
Dearer than eye-sight, space, and liberty;
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare;
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honour;
As much as child e'er loved, or father found;
A love that makes breath poor, and speech unable;
Beyond all manner of so much I love you.
Pick: Oakland
New Orleans at Carolina
What I'm Thankful For: That when the Redskins dominated the NFL in '83 and '91, they did so with class and dignity
Just like the Patriots.
Pick: New Orleans
Houston at Cleveland
What I'm Thankful For: My DVR-backlog of Iron Chef reruns
For some inexplicable reason, Food Network stopped its weekly Tuesday 2:00 a.m. airings of the original Japanese Iron Chef episodes. Thankfully, my DVR still has eight old episodes saved, meaning my time with Hiroyuki Sakai, Chen Kenichi, Rokusaburo Michiba and Dr. Yukori Hattori isn't over yet, despite the better efforts of those Commie-leaning censor-happy suits at TFN.
Pick: Houston
Washington at Tampa Bay
What I'm Thankful For: That 75% of teams in the NFC are worse than mediocre
Assuming the Giants are the top-seeded Wild Card team (a big if considering the team's collapse last year), the Redskins will be fighting it out for the final playoff spot with two teams they have a tiebreaker over (Detroit and Arizona) and one whose quarterback is as beat-down as Sarah Jessica Parker's face (although that didn't seem to hurt Philly last year). It's scary to say, but the Redskins could likely control their own destiny when they welcome the Cowboys to D.C. in week 17 (when Dallas will probably have nothing to play for). I need help.
Pick: Washington
Buffalo at Jacksonville
What I'm Thankful For: Cheerwine
A southern staple, Cheerwine is a soft drink that's part cherry, part bubbly and completely friggin' delicious. Ostensibly, I went down to Charlotte this September to visit some college friends and take in the Wake/Nebraska game, but really I just made the trip so I could bring some Cheerwine back to the Union.
Pick: Jacksonville
Cincinnati at Tennessee
What I'm Thankful For: Haribo gummy candy
Not coincidentally, my dentist is also thankful for my thankfulness of Haribo gummy candy.
Pick: Cincinnati
Seattle at St. Louis
What I'm Thankful For: The last 62-seconds of the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm
Pick: Oakland
New Orleans at Carolina

Minnesota at New York Giants
What I'm Thankful For: Marion Barry
He's like a fun, crack-loving, non-murdering version of O.J.
Pick: New York Giants
Denver at Chicago
What I'm Thankful For: The new Nationals stadium
Thomas Boswell thinks it's going to be a gem. I can't wait to find out on Opening Day 2008, as long as the stadium doesn't get a lame name like Constellation Energy Field which, I have heard, is a good possibility.
Pick: Chicago
San Francisco at Arizona
What I'm Thankful For: Project Runway is back
I'd call Project Runway my guilty pleasure, except that I don't feel the slightest bit of guilt at all.
Pick: Arizona
Baltimore at San Diego
What I'm Thankful For: A juiced-up loudmouth (Shawne Merriman) getting blowed up by a 5'6 running back (Maurice Jones-Drew).

Philadelphia at New England
What I'm Thankful For: The possibility of Tom Brady getting the cheap-shot in the knees he deserves
Without that, there'd be no other reason to watch Patriots' games.

Chaz,
Once again you have shown that there are few bloggers as dumb as you are. Congratulations. Only a dumbass like you would pick Detroit over Green Bay on Thanksgiving. You are a terrible person and probably are probably still a virgin (at least with women). Brett Farve is playing as well as Madden ever could have dreamed, and the Lions aren't any good, and yet you still picked Detriot, that's just terrible. You suck!
I think we all could have predicted this:
