NFL Week 12 Predictions: Why Packers, 49ers and Cowboys Dominate Turkey Day

The Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys will win on Thanksgiving, and that's a fact. 

We are here to let you know exactly how Turkey Day is going down. By now, you may be some of the lucky few that are reeling from far too much turkey and simply looking for any amount of room to stick some more down your gullet. 

You may also feature into us unlucky few who can still smell the bird cooking in the oven. For us, the wait is all the more tolerable thanks to the NFL and three epic matches that will have us cheer just enough to work off that third helping of pumpkin pie. 

If you happen to be like me and favor falling into a coma for the rest of Thanksgiving, here is what will go down in all three magical games on this special day.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

This is going to be a close one. Matthew Stafford and company showed us that their offense is clicking on all cylinders, assuring the Packers' soft secondary will have their work cut out for them. 

This will come down to a shootout between two great gunslingers. However, a game that comes down to yards through the air has me confident that Aaron Rodgers will come out on top. Always bet on green. 

Miami Dolphins at Dallas Cowboys

This one was a tougher decision than it should have been. The Dolphins have been playing a better brand of ball and Matt Moore seems to be fitting in nicely as the starting quarterback. 

This game will come down to the Dolphins' rushing defense against DeMarco Murray. Murray is just too hot for me to bet against right now. The Cowboys will win by a nose and it will be all thanks to Murray and his elusive attack.

San Francisco 49ers at Baltimore Ravens

The NFL lucked out in the games taking place on Turkey Day. Each one is a closer shave than the next. This is yet another game where the Niners will prove they are the real deal, not that they should have to by now. 

Frank Gore should play and deliver the kind of performance that really moved the 49ers before he left with a knee injury. The Ravens will get a taste of their own medicine as San Francisco delivers another stingy effort on defense. Niners win on a late drive in a low-scoring game, and it will come with me just waking up from turkey coma.
