HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Y’ALL!!!
That’s right — along with Turkey, flatulence, overindulgence, family fights and the gluttony we Americans are known for around the world comes NFL FOOTBALL. Hopefully, you’ll all be watching along with MOI (and yep — part French and quite proud of it, thank you very much) as the Pack visits the Lions in the early Thanksgiving Thursday game, followed by the Raiders visiting the Cowboys, followed by the New York Giants visiting the Denver Broncos for the Thursday Night Football Game. Intriguing matchups? NAW. Well, maybe with the exception of the TNF game featuring a couple of “Jeckle and Hyde” 6-4 teams, that is… And I can’t wait.
In the National Football League’s official Week Number Eleven, I went 12-4. Look for me to do MUCH better this week since the numbers in The GTL™ Proprietary Supercomputer weren’t nearly as close as I thought they’d be at first glance at the schedule. In fact, there are VERY few close mathematical matchups according to MOI’s math once I started feeding the gerbils, the birch bark and other proprietary ingredients into The GTL™ Supercomputer grinder. In fact, I’m fairly confident you can bet your houses on these straight up Week 12 picks (*DISCLAIMER: IF YOU DO, YOU’RE A DOOMASS AND I SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LOSSES).
That stated, let’s get ON with it.

@lduthecoach, Awww, HELL — damned Giants anyway. 2-1 on Thanksgiving Thursday just like everybody else in America…

It is quickly approaching money time. Crank up Mendenhall and the ground game. The dividion can still be won. Play sonme smash mouth football and it should all work out.

That win against the Giants was really needed. Knoshon played the way I knew he could. Orton did his job well. This was the defense we saw during the first 6 weeks. Time to start a new streak.

8-2 on the week going into the afternoon, evening and MNF games — typically where I’ve been known to implode (hopefully not this time though
