Who better to break down a trio of Turkey Day games than Follow the Money hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard with Lombardi Line host Michael Lombardi? The guys got together for a fine Monday morning segment to talk about the things that transpired in Week 11 and the carryover for Week 12, especially for the six teams that are on a short week and will play on Thanksgiving.
Buffalo Bills (-9, 54) at Detroit Lions
The Lions have won three in a row and the Bills are coming off of a weird scenario having their game moved from Buffalo to Detroit, where they beat the Cleveland Browns 31-23, but now to have to turn around on a quick week and head right back to the Motor City in a big favorite role.

Lombardi: “There’s something off with Buffalo right now.”
Mitch even thinks the Lions have an outside chance at winning the NFC North!
"If they kind of shock the world on Thursday and beat the @BuffaloBills, I believe the @Lions can win their division."@MitchMossRadio said this to @paulyhoward on #FollowTheMoney if Detroit win their TNF match against Buffalo

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys (-8.5, 44.5)
Two teams that had very different performances last week will get together for Thursday’s only divisional game. The Giants got pushed around by the Lions in a 31-18 loss, whereas the Cowboys scored 37 unanswered points in a 40-3 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Lombardi: “The Giants have to play a certain way and their depth has been depleted.”
New England Patriots at Minnesota Vikings (-3, 41.5)
The Vikings have to lick their wounds quickly before taking on a Patriots crew that won in improbable fashion last week with a punt return touchdown in the final minute of a 10-3 win against the New York Jets. Will Bill Belichick succeed in taking Justin Jefferson away? Have the Vikings been exposed?
Lombardi: “Without (Christian) Darrishaw at left tackle, this is gonna be a problem, especially [because] we know that when (Kirk) Cousins doesn’t feel protected, that’s a problem.”
