  We’ have the big Lions/Packers match up on Thanksgiving Day (12:30 PM on FOX).  Unlike the last match-up in Detroit, this should be a high scoring game.  Greg Jennings has a bruised knee, but should be ready to play in his home state.   The 4:15 game on Thursday is Miami at Dallas.  There are 14 college games on Friday (you can watch live football for 14 consecutive hours), including Akron at Western Michigan at 1 PM.  If you’ve got some time off Fri. afternoon, think about going to the game.  The weather should be excellent.  Western has an exciting, explosive offense and one of the best ends in college football in Jordan White (14 touchdowns, 1389 yards this season so far – tops in the nation!).   On Friday you can see Iowa at Nebraska on WOTV4 at Noon, followed by Boston College at Miami.  The BIG game Friday is Arkansas at LSU at 2:30 PM.    Saturday is the big Ohio State-Michigan game in Ann Arbor (I think the rain holds off and it’ll be a relatively warm afternoon).  That game is at Noon on WOTV4.   Michigan State heads to Northwestern for a Noon match-up (Big Ten Network).  I can’t rule out a shower sneaking into Evanston, but the early start means they should get most of the game in before the rain, the way it looks now.   Penn St. comes to Madison for a showdown with my Badgers (who desperately want another shot at Michigan State).  Notre Dame at Stanford at 8 PM could be a great game, too.  That’s also on WOTV4.  Good luck to our area high school football teams in the state playoffs:  Lowell, Zeeland West, Constantine and Mendon.  Here’s the schedule for Friday’s games, which are being carried on Fox Sports-Detroit.

    GO LIONS! They have a chance to pull the upset on Green Bay. Make no mistake about it, The Packers are 10-0 for a reason. The Lions have shot to win this game BUT all must go well for the Honolulu Blue and Silver. I say things do go well and the Lions win 31-27! This will be like a Monday night game times 10!
    I say that the Wolverines also get a nice win against their arch rivals, The Buckeyes. This game for the Wolverines will not be easy! I see it as a close game. 28-24, Wolverines! Spartans will win to have momentum for the Big Ten Championship Game. The Badgers will win, they have something to prove. Let Russel Wilson put the team on his back!

    Suh is a classless thug. Lions are a joke.

    The Lions are still one of the worst teams around. Their inexperience in big games really showed up today.
