Thanksgiving and football just seem to go together. That's why this classic sports highlight of Plano East vs. John Tyler High School from 1994 Texas high school football championships is such a classic. It took place on Thanksgiving. It truly is one of the greatest holidays that man could have ever created.Tomorrow, my team is playing on bird day. I'm in New Jersey with the in-laws, and I'm undecided about whether or not I'm going to go and attend my first Jets game. It will be a game time decision. But I'm glad to be on the Jersey shore for the first time on Thanksgiving. I'll miss watching the Macy's parade hung over with my sister.
But just like on every Thanksgiving, there will be football. And don't forget the great college games to follow on Friday (and Saturday). So here's my picks for tomorrow:
New England (-6.5) at Detroit **
New Orleans (-3.5) at Dallas **
Cincinnati at New York Jets (-9.5) ***
It should be a surprisingly good slate of games. I think all three will be competitive until late. And even though the football serves as a nice centerpiece to tomorrow, the real aspect that should be enjoyed is the people that you love and please take a second to give thanks to the things in your life that you're thankful for. No matter how simple of a thing it is.
