Well here goes. This is being billed as a great game, and it certainly should be a great game. I have concerns about keeping Aa-Rod safe, about how the game will be played and of course, the outcome.

That being said, I do think the Green Bay Packers pull out a victory tomorrow about 1:45pm CST.

Score prediction is Packers 38-Lions 30.

I think it'll be a good game too. The Odds are Green Bay by a touchdown but I'm not so sure. Detroit used to give us fits when they were a poor team and they always play well on Thanksgiving. With Detroit's talent and loud crowd up against the hottest team in the NFL, this should be good one to watch.

Win or Lose, I'll be "Thankful" if Green Bay comes out of this one with no injuries.

A good game for sure!
We all know what Packer team will show up.. the key to a great game will depend on which Lions team shows up.
The Lions can be great, but are still unreliable. If the big score "O" and the dominate "D" show up the Packers will be in for a long day!!!
I'm with the rest of you guys on a high scoring one score win, but growing up in Detroit and suffering for all those decades, I'm gonna stir the pot and say the Lions win.....

This game scares me. Packers are the better team, I think most of us agree. I just hope Matt Statford doesn't chew up our defense.
Should be a good game though.

GO lions!!!! I am sooooo sick of hearing about Aaron Rodgers. This team is not that great. Easy schedule, check. Flags on the opposing team at all the right times, check. Lucky lucky lucky and I know this is part of it. Lions should run all over them if they show up tomorrow..... Go Lions!!!

Slimcake your sick of hearing about A-Rod? I watch hours of ESPN each day and all they ever talk about is Tebow and Sanchez! Now when Brent was here I can understand the sick of hearing about him logic.

I am a die hard Packer Fan but this game could be ugly for us! Defense has been a real problem for Green Bay, if they don't show up were screwed.

Refs better have track shoes on going to be high scoring game that could go either way. This game means nothing to the Pack other than in North Divison & Lions will rub each score when ahead in Packers face & big game for Lions. Lions are not good winners or losers & Schwartz stirs opposing team emotions just as bad as Ditka did for da Bears. Should be some good fights in second half & cheap shots by Lions has been their pattern. Pack may look like tired team in short week. Either way Bears win with this outcome.

X 2!! Real sick of the Tebow wagon!!

I don't think the Packer coverage is over the top at all. The Pack are a great team. Some of their fans on the other hand. ;-)

Im a bears fan to. But today Im the BIGGEST PACKER FAN ever. Hows that stupid chant go??? GO PACK GO..... Seriously I realize that my bears are little threat in the post season. I am however taking the entire family (wife and two girls) to the New Years day game Bears vs. Vikes in Minneapolis. I managed to score 3rd row seats right next to the tunnel where all the players come out. My kids are so pumped up at ages 8 and 10 they cannot wait to see all their favorite players from both teams come onto the field. That whole game would mean a whole lot more knowing that the Bears were able to grab a wild card spot and that the season wasnt over that day. Would really be sweet to see Jay Cutler Back on the field that day also. So Anyways, GO PACK GO, GO PACK GO, GO PACK GO!!!!!!!!

Papa Bear have mercy on my soul??????

The Pack will win this game by at least 14. I think it will be 45-30.

Smith should have a good day running the ball but I think the Pack will have to picks 6's as Stafford will get over
confident trying to go deep.

Hopefully the lions don't pull out the bag of cheap shots when on D.

Enjoy the game and Happy Thanksgiving all.

And some that weren't penalities (pass interference on the Lions)! And roughing the passer on Rodgers. What a joke!

Pack better step it up, or they will get their first L. I sure hope that doesn't happen.
