GameDay has been looking forward to this week all year. Thanksgiving is a time for family, food and football, and Week 12 of the NFL begins with three games this holiday, highlighted by the NY Giants at Denver. Both teams are 6-4, and both are trying to figure out how they are going to finish the season. Denver blasted out of the gate at 6-0, beating the likes of New England, San Diego, Cincinnati and Dallas. They were 3 1/2 games up on the Chargers just five weeks ago, but the AFC West has turned upside down as the Chargers have won five straight and the Broncos have dropped four in a row, including a 32-3 loss to San Diego last Sunday. GameDay is beginning to scratch his head and wondering if the Broncos are going to make the playoffs.
GameDay is also scratching his head unsure of what to think about the Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. This season hasn’t had any major surprises, when the defending Super Bowl champions Steelers beat the Vikings one week and lose to the lowly Chiefs the next, something isn’t right.
Thanksgiving week proves hostile for the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints. The only remaining undefeated teams in the league, the Saints host the New England Patriots and the Colts travel to Houston. Bill Belichick’s play-calling is being questioned lately, but trust GameDay, the Patriots will give the Saints all they can handle on Monday night. GameDay picks the Patriots with the upset win.
GameDay also looks for the Colts to continue their perfect season against the Texans. Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark are hitting on all cylinders. A tough game, but the Colts will feast in Texas this weekend. CV
