Tomorrow the NFL has three games scheduled for the country. First at 12:30 ET, it's the Tennessee Titans at the Detroit Lions. I expect that the Titans will struggle to score, but eke out a 16-13 win over the hapless Lions.

Next at 4:20 ET, it's the Seattle Seahawks at the Dallas Cowboys. Considering that Seattle has no offensive playmakers, I think that the Cowboys will win comfortably, something like 31-10.

Finally, at 8:15, the Arizona Cardinals visit the Philadelphia Eagles. In light of the benching of McNabb on Sunday in Baltimore and the tie fiasco in Cincinnati, I think that Arizona will win, something like 24-20, and wrap up the NFC West (which is more like the NFC Worst).

Now for the Top Thanksgiving games that I remember:

1. 1993, Miami over Dallas—This was the game when it snowed in Dallas and Leon Lett tried to recover a fumble but lost it and the Dolphins recovered and kicked a field goal to win the game.

2. 1980, Chicago over Detroit—It was tied at 20 or so and then the Bears returned the opening kickoff in overtime to win the game.

3. 1994, Dallas over Green Bay—Jason Garrett came in for an injured Aikman and threw for a couple of touchdowns to win the game.
