First of all, I want to wish ALL the people who actually come to this site to read my picks a very very HAPPY TURKEY DAY.  Next, I am very pleased to have my favorite guest handicapper, Moose the Greek, weigh in with his Thanksgiving picks. I will be back late Thursday night or very early Friday morning with my college picks for the week, but for now,  here’s Moose………

 

Thanksgiving again and ‘Moose the Greek’ is here to do what he does best.  Yes, eat like a wild animal.  But I am also going to give you a few of my picks for the Holiday.  Liz has had a good year so far and I hope I can keep up her good work.  I like two pro and one college game Thursday.  So here we go:

 

My first pick is the OVER in the Packers/Lions game. The Pack can score at will and the Lions and Stafford can pass at will.  In my opinion neither team has a very good defense.  So that adds up to points, points, and points.  For now, the total is 55,  that is a lot of points but everyone likes offense on Turkey day.  So going with the theme of the day, OVER eating, OVER drinking, and OVER staying your welcome at a relative’s house, the GREEK says take OVER 55 in this game.

 

Pick number two in the league that ‘plays for pay’ is what I think is an easy pick.  I like the DALLAS COWBOYS to send the Miami Dolphins to the bottom of the sea.  This could be a 30 point beating.  Miami is on a three game winning streak and they have had some close games but it ends Thursday. The Cowboys are hot and Romo is GREAT in November.  The line right now is Dallas by 7.5. Jump on the Boys like you jump on the pumpkin pie after dinner.  It is back to earth for the fish.

 

My last pick for Turkey Day is in the night time college game.  In a rivalry that dates back to the Stone Age, and which is coming to an end this year due to realignment, the Longhorns meet the Aggies in College Station.  I am not a big fan of betting games which don’t involve top 25 teams but this game should be fun.  Right now the Aggies are giving 8 points.  I am picking them to cover the 8 and send the Longhorns back to the pasture.  I think Cyrus Gray will run wild and he will be the difference in this game.  So take TEXAS A&M minus the 8 and enjoy the game….

 

That’s it from the Greek. Thank you, Liz for giving me the forum this week.  I want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving.  I will leave you with a tip about the Turkey.  Buy the biggest bird you can get.  The carcass can only get so big and the rest is meat. MOOSE THE GREEK has spoken ….

 

Thanks Moose, I love your picks, and I just want to wish you and your family a Happy Turkey Day.
