It’s Football Sunday! Well... kind of.For the first time since early September Amani Oruwariye Jersey Womens , the NFL will not be playing a game that will have an impact on the 2018 NFL season. We’re officially a week away from the Super Bowl, but that means we’re left with no playoff games today. A few years ago, the NFL tried to fix this problem by placing the Pro Bowl in this middle week between the conference championship games and the super Bowl. It’s probably a better space for the game, rather than after the Super Bowl—however, the league still struggles to create intrigue for a game in which the players very clearly don’t give it their all.Still, the game manages to get acceptable ratings, because people love football—even football at half speed.So today’s Question of the Day is:Will you be watching the 2019 NFL Pro Bowl?My answer: I will probably do what I do every year. Convince myself that I’m not going to bother wasting my time. Then as kickoff nears, I’ll manage to make some sort of excuse to turn it on (maybe Darius Slay will have a sick pick-six). Then after 15 minutes of watching the Pro Bowl Youth Amani Oruwariye Jersey , I’ll stop watching and take a nap or something.Your turn.Tweets from https://twitter.com/PrideOfDetroit/lists/lions-coverage Thanksgiving Week usually entails all game picks for the weekend being published on Wednesday. After doing that for the last eight or nine years, I finally realized that it’s indeed possible to break the picks article into two parts.And so we did. The picks for the trio of Thanksgiving games appear below.Last week, I picked up two games on MDS (not MBS, MDS), with 9-4 in comparison to his 7-6. That gives me a record of 102-59 (63.3 percent) to his 98-63 (60.8 percent).On Friday, we’ll have the other 12 games that will be played in Week 12. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and enjoy the games.Bears at Lions MDS’s take: The Lions looked absolutely dreadful in Chicago on November 11. Can home-field advantage make that big a difference? I think the Lions will play more competitively at home, but not well enough to win.MDS’s pick: Bears 24 White Amani Oruwariye Jersey , Lions 21.Florio鈥檚 take: The Lions seem to have a little extra something on Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving, a win would pull them closer toward a possible playoff berth. After beating the Panthers on Sunday, Detroit could have a surprise for a Bears team that played a hard-fought game against the Vikings late into Sunday night.Florio鈥檚 pick: Lions 24, Bears 22.

Washington at Cowboys MDS’s take: The NFC East lead is on the line, and Dallas is going to take that lead. With Colt McCoy at quarterback Washington is going to struggle, and the Cowboys should run the ball effectively against a bad Washington run defense.MDS’s pick: Cowboys 27, Washington 17.Florio鈥檚 take: The Cowboys have won two in a row without playing at home. With Alex Smith out and the Dallas offense clicking and the Cowboys in a win-now mindset, Dallas does enough to win.Florio鈥檚 pick:聽 Cowboys 23 Frank Ragnow Jersey , Washington 17.

Falcons at SaintsMDS’s take: For all the talk about Monday night’s Chiefs-Rams game as a Super Bowl preview, the Saints have made a strong case in recent weeks that they’re the best team in football. I expect them to keep it going with a solid win over an overmatched Falcons defense.MDS’s pick: Saints 31, Falcons 20.Florio鈥檚 take: Nothing takes the steam out of a juggernaut like an arch rival. Though the Falcons won鈥檛 win, they likely won鈥檛 get the Bengals/Eagles treatment.聽Florio鈥檚 pick: Saints 34, Falcons 27.
