THE INTRO
I'm alive!
After failing to get the Dime out due to technical difficulties in my stupid Vegas hotel room last week, everyone was worried about what had happened to me. I received hundreds of emails, phone calls and texts from loyal Dime readers making sure that I was okay!
Alright, maybe I didn't. I got zero phone calls, zero texts, one email I think?
I'm just going to assume that you ALL follow me on Twitter and saw me tweet out the picks. It's definitely NOT that no one cares or that no one missed the Dime in their mailboxes Sunday morning!
I mean, it couldn't possibly be that.
In any case, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Have a wonderful and safe holiday. Hope you are around people you love, but when it comes to families, even just people you can tolerate is okay!
Full Dime returns this week. For now, Turkey Day!

THURSDAY
Chicago (+7.0) @ Detroit (-7.0)
Detroit's solid record has overshadowed the fact that the Lions have one of the worst scoring offenses in the NFL. Chicago has turned things around nicely with back-to-back wins since its back-to-back blowout losses, and while I don't expect the Bears to win outright I do expect them to keep this game close.
PICK WITH THE SPREAD: Chicago
PICK WITHOUT THE SPREAD: Detroit
Philadelphia (+3.0) @ Dallas (-3.0)
This one is really tough to call. Overall, I think Philadelphia is the better team. But Tony Romo looks like a man on a mission this year, and if you are a fan of trends, Romo is money on Thanksgiving Days with a 6-1 record and 18 touchdowns with just six interceptions. At home, I think the Cowboys can get the job done and take over first place in the NFC West with the win.
PICK WITH THE SPREAD: Dallas
PICK WITHOUT THE SPREAD: Dallas
Seattle (+1.5) @ San Francisco (-1.5)
This should be a fantastic game between two physical rivals that both need this win pretty bad. San Francisco has won this game the last five times they've hosted it, and the 49ers have an excellent track record at home against division rivals. But Seattle seems to be rounding into form on both sides of the ball, especially on defense, and the Seahawks have a recent history of giving Colin Kaepernick a lot of trouble. I see the Seahawks winning this one in a close game.
PICK WITH THE SPREAD: Seattle
PICK WITHOUT THE SPREAD: *Seattle
