Don't Be A Turkey - Listen to the Locks on Thanksgiving

5 Star Special:

New Orleans @ Dallas - Line is Saints -4 - The pendulum has swung too far, too fast for these Cowboys.  They couldn't cover or bust a spread to save their lives three weeks ago and now they are only 4 point dogs to the cruising Saints?  Remember that Kitna is still their QB and they still can't run the ball no matter who lines up in the backfield.  It was a nice little run by Dallas but Brees and his boys are starting to fire on all cylinders.  Add a dynamic Reggie Bush back in the mix on Thursday and this game shouldn't be that close.  Lay the four points and take New Orleans.  Final score is 34-24.  LOCK IT UP 

3 Star Special:

New England @ Detroit - Line is Patriots -6.5 - Not much analysis here.  This is a short week so we expect some weird things to happen.  The Pats have been on too good of a roll recently and finally showed some cracks late in last week's game against the Colts.  Detroit can't run the ball so we might see Shaun Hill throw it 50 times here.  That just might work against the Pats young and sometimes leaky secondary.  Look for New England to lead throughout and the Lions to treat us all to a nice backdoor cover with a late Hill to Calvin TD.  Remember, Detroit has been excellent against the spread this season.  Take the Lions and the points.  Final score is 34-28.  LOCK IT UP

2 Star Special:

Cincinnati @ NY Jets - Line is Jets -9 - This is a tough game to handicap.  The Jets should cover with ease.  Then again, they should have covered with ease each of the past two weeks.  The Bengals seem as if they officially quit on their season at halftime of last week's game against Buffalo.  Not a good sign when you're traveling to one the best teams in the league.  Carson Palmer should continue to play like he's in special education against the frenetic defense scheme of Rex Ryan.  We might just see 4 or 5 picks by the Jets "ordinary" corners.  All that said, the way the Jets have been playing (down to the wire) makes this line look enormous.  Regardless, we're betting they finally put it all together against a team that would rather be eating stuffing.  Take the Jets to cover.  Final score is 27-10.  LOCK IT UP
