Five Things to Watch This Week - Week 12 (Game 11)

The Patriots play their eleventh regular season game on the road against the Detroit Lions on Thursday November 25th at 12:30 PM.

I'm feeling pretty thankful this year.  We're 8 and 2.  How are we 8 and 2?!  Holy crap.  I'll take it.

Last week was great.  I've still got a buzz from that win.  Sweet, sweet Manning tears.

Here's five things I'm thankful for this year:

1)  Tom Brady - The Best Quarterback we've ever had.

2)  Bill Belichick - The Best Coach we've ever had.  Maybe the best coach ever.  You think I'm being a little generous in my praise?  Brady and Belichick are 119 and 36 together.  Bill Walsh and Joe Montana were 114 and 44.  So... yeah... They're really THAT good.

3)  A Surprisingly Frisky Running Game - I've been on board the BenJarvus Green-Ellis train as long as I can remember.  And I can't tell you how many times I shouted "Woodhead!" last week (some of them were even while watching the game).  That TD immediately followed by a special teams tackle on the kick-off was awesome.

4)  A Fast Young Defense - Don't worry about yards, people.  Yards aren't points.  Making a big play and getting off the field is huge.  Hopefully we can keep this up down the stretch.

5)  Vince Wilfork - I love love love me some #75.  Can you imagine how awesome the Thanksgiving feast must be in the Wilfork house?  Guh. 





BONUS LIST!

Guess who's got two thumbs and making a pecan pie Wednesday night?  THIS GUY!


My prediction: Pats 35, Lions 31

Now... Let's go eat a goddamn feast.
