Nothing beats stuffing your mouth with the best food of the year until you look like Andy Reid on a good day. Heres a look at the matchups on Thanksgiving day. Have a good one.
Nick Saban and his Miami defense faces a Detriot team that relies heavily on their passing game and little on their rushing game, which is ranked 30th in the NFL. The only threat Detriot holds to Miami are their wide outs, Mike Furrey and Roy Williams who have both risen to production over the past weeks. On Miami's side of the ball, Joey Harrington will look to continue his play from last week, which he threw for 254 yards. Running back Ronnie Brown and wide out Chris Chambers haven't been themselves lately but will look to get their confidence back against a week Detriot defense.
No similarities shine in this game. Dallas is coming off of their biggest win of the season while Tampa Bay is coming off just their third win of the year. Bill Parcell's couldn't be happier with the Cowboys and John Gruden couldn't be any more disappointed in his last place Bucs'. The main difference though between these two teams are their rushing games. The Cowboys average 133 yards on the ground with Marion Barber and Julius Jones sharing the load, while the Bucs' average just 91 yards a game with Carnell Williams. If the John Gruden decides to put the game into the hands of Bruce Gradkowski's, Bruce should have a tough time against the Cowboys secondary, which has only allowed 9 touchdowns all year.
Denver at Kansas City
A battle between two teams that are fighting to be on top of the AFC West. Offensively, the Broncos have looked terrible in the passing game with Jake Plummer having thrown 4 interceptions in the past 2 games. The Broncos rushing game on the other hand has improved greatly with Mike Bell, who rushed for 2 touchdowns last week. For the Chiefs, Trent Green has just got back from his concussion and will start for the second week in a row. Tight end Tony Gonzalez is still questionable for this game, which could be a huge loss for the Chiefs are offense. Running back Larry Johnson will once again look to destroy another team's defensive line. All in all, its a perfect match up to watch Larry Johnson try to avoid Denver's top notch defense.
