There are about a dozen games that stand out right now. First, Green Bay -7 vs Chicago. Bears have a lot of momentum and for about 10 years the visitor has done better on the other's home field. Throw in Green Bay's problems at home this year and this looks like a lot of points. Second, San Francisco -9.5 vs Arizona. SF is done for the year but it was this Cardinal team that really put them on their tailspin. Niners will be looking for revenge and a big score on Birds. Seattle +1 at Minnesota. I don't see a lot of defense being played in this one. I believe Seattle is playing better than Vikings right now and should be able end their road woes. NO Pk vs Tampa. The Champs are done. Saints have owned them for 2 years and should be favored by 7 in this one as they have a lot more weapons and balance on offense. Dallas +5 at Philly. Dallas was looking ahead on Thanksgiving and have 10 days to prepare. They won first meeting and I see no reason this game won't be a field goal game either way. Too many points to lay for Philly. Last, Stl -4.5 at Cleveland. This Browns team has been a terrible home team and now is playing just flat out lousy. Rams have struggled on road but has found its confidence and on Monday night should roll since Home field is crucial to them in playoffs. Any thoughts?
Dallas was looking ahead on Thanksgiving???
Dallas was looking ahead on a day that is traditional for Cowboy football
Interesting assessment....

P.S. I have different reasoning why Dallas was smoked on Thanksgiving Day vs Miami. Same reason they were smoked vs the other two quality teams they played this year, Tampa Bay beat them 16-0 and New England beat them 12-0. If I recall, the last time Dallas and Philly met this year Philly's team was in turmoil. Not the case at this time

Bernie,
Another fact on Dallas is they are 3-0 in the NFC East so far this year. Parcells has always made the division games a priority. The reason I said they were looking ahead on Thanksgiving was Parcells has not been there on T-day therefore underestimating importance of that day in relation to the big game in Philly. You'll see the Dallas team that played Carolina two weeks ago in Philly.
