Considering how few in the media picked the Colts last week, I don't imagine there will be very many sticking their neck out and going with the Lions on Thursday.

When a team travels on a short week, it's tough. But the Patriots have the perfect weapon to beat the Lions: Tom Brady. He will carve up the Lions defense, getting the ball out quickly and spreading the field. The Lions can score, but I think Brady puts up a big number in a blowout.

Florio’s take: The 2-8 Lions host the 8-2 Patriots. Once upon a time, the Lions always were tough to beat at home on Thanksgiving. Matt Millen’s influence helped end that. Bill Belichick’s genius will help continue it.
Florio’s pick: Patriots 41, Lions 21.
Rosenthal’s take: It’s tough to blow the Lions out, especially at home. They are 2-2 at Ford Field this year, with three point losses to the Eagles and Jets. That bodes well for a rare Lions Thanksgiving game that keeps our interest into the fourth quarter. Luckily for New England, the Lions don’t have the running game (or run defense) to close games out.
Rosenthal’s pick: Patriots 27, Lions 20.

New England Patriots (-6 1/2) at Detroit Lions.
Expect Brady to have a very happy return to the state of Michigan before a happy Thanksgiving with Gisele.
Patriots 42, Lions 17.

RECAP: If you listen to Bill Simmons' B.S. Report, you heard some false information from the Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz on Monday. Schatz claimed that the Lions play no worse on Thanksgiving than they do in their other home games. This is completely inaccurate.
Let's roll through those scores again: 34-12, 47-10, 37-26, 27-10, 27-7, 41-9 and 41-10. Forget winning a game; the Lions haven't even covered the spread on Turkey Day since 2003 (0-7). During that span, however, they are 23-21 against the spread at Ford Field when it's not Thanksgiving. Yup, they play exactly the same at home no matter what day it is!
The Lions suck on Thanksgiving. There's just too much pressure from the angry fans who demand a win, and the national media, who continuously opine that Detroit should be stripped of its Thanksgiving game.
