The unusual thing about this week, in addition to the Thanksgiving games, is that there isn’t really any good matchups scoring wise. Sure, any of these games has the potential to become a high scoring affair, but there aren’t any real shootouts on paper. That makes choosing a lineup all that much more difficult, and if I had to guess, I would say either the Giants/Eagles game or the panthers/Seahawks game have the best chance of of accruing a lot of points. But then again, I’m an idiot, so who knows? Like every other week, we’re just gonna have to wait and see what happens, but lets just hope what happens is that every player I picked gets 30+ points.
