Attention, underdog players

Don't forget that we have three Thursday games this week:

7 MIAMI at Dallas (Thurs. 1:15 p.m. PST)
6 DETROIT vs. Green Bay (Thurs. 9:30 a.m. PST)
3 SAN FRANCISCO at Baltimore (Thurs. 5:20 p.m. PST)

If you want any of those underdogs, you must let us know by kickoff time of the respective game. Otherwise, the deadline is Sunday at 10 a.m. PST as usual. Happy pickin' and happy Thanksgiving.

UPDATE, 11/24, 12:15 a.m.: Still no lines for St. Louis/Arizona or New England/Philadelphia on Sunday. We'll keep checking for those through Thursday evening; if none show up by then, they're off our board.

I like DETROIT ("The Upset Special") & SAN FRANCISCO in two of the 3 Thanksgiving games.

Feasting on 10-0 Packers: Lions have chance to duplicate 1962 feat
The 2011 Lions have a chance to do what the 1962 team did: Beat an undefeated team on Thanksgiving

By Dave Birkett

Thursday won't be the first time the defending champion Packers come to Detroit on Thanksgiving Day undefeated at 10-0 with the best quarterback in football looking unbeatable to the world.

The last time it happened was 1962. Bart Starr was Green Bay's quarterback then, the Super Bowl was still the NFL championship game, the Lions were the only thing on TV, and if you were lucky enough to be at Tiger Stadium that 35-degree day, you saw an upset so complete it's remembered by some as the Thanksgiving Day Massacre.

Unfortunately the Lions "Dog" is not in the hunt against the Pack this time around. Happy, healthy & hearty ThanksG. genop
