It's a good day to be thankful as the Falcons take the Lions in Atlanta 27-7.

This drops the Lions to 4-7, strong in third place.

The Vikings host the Browns this week. Should the Vikings win, that'll push them to 6-5, giving a two game lead over the Lions. If they loose, they'll still be a game ahead, strong in second place.

The Bears (7-3) play at the Bucaneers (7-3), which we hope (in that home-town, good-natured way) results in a loss for them. The Bears are on a six-game wining streak, so it could be time for them to loose. A Bear loss will bring them to 7-4, within a game of the Vikings, while a victory would mean they keep their lead to at least two games over the Vikings.

The Packers (2-8) play at the Eagles (4-6), which should result in a Packer loss, as it looks, pushing them out of the playoff picture probably for good.
