New England Patriots, this game is expected to be an easy win to put the Pats one game closer to the playoffs. However, unlike a vast majority of recent Thanksgiving games featuring the Lions, there is potential for an upset here. Nndamukong Suh and Kyle Vanden Bosch have transformed the Lions' defensive line into one of the best in the league, and as a result the Lions' entire defense has become respectable. Additionally, the offense has become potent despite quarterback Matthew Stafford getting frequently hurt and missing a vast majority of the season.

Most everyone in the NFL concedes that the Lions are finally on the right path, even if their 2-8 record doesn’t indicate it. With Matthew Stafford done for the season the best Detroit can do is catch the wounded Vikings for third in the NFC North, even if they get decent play at QB from backup Shaun Hill.
But before the 8-2 Patriots add one to the W column, they should take a close look at Detroit’s home/road split. The Lions actually are a decent team at home. They got edged by Philadelphia when Michael Vick went crazy on turf, they dominated St. Louis and Washington, and they had the Jets beaten before losing on a field goal in overtime.Whether this can be a game or not depends on Hill’s ability to move the ball against a shaky Patriots defense that allows opponents to gain nearly 400 yards a game but has shown the ability to make plays when they’re most needed. Three interceptions last Sunday against Peyton Manning saved their bacon.
