Early Thanksgiving Thursday night preview

Baltimore Ravens are hosting the San Francisco 49ers late on Turkey Day.  The battle of the Harbaugh brothers will be brutal.  Why?  49ers assuming the win verses Ravens and the Seattle Seahawks lose to the Washington Redskins they will clinch the NFC West and 1st playoff berth since 2002. 
Ravens on the other hand took the Cincinnati Bengals manhood away in resounding win at home without defensive stud Ray Lewis, but the dogfight for AFC North remains with the Pittsburgh Steelers knocking on the doorsteps for division title.
I hope the Ravens and 49ers score at least 20 points.  Trent Dilfer was screaming like a mad man when he threw a touchdown pass for the 49ers in the third quarter to narrow the gap 9-7 verses the Ravens 4 years ago.  Ravens ended up winning game by that very score in a very low scoring, high hitting affair 9-7 in San Francisco...I should know, I saw that game, I was amazed that I didn't fall asleep watching the game. It was the lowest scoring NFL game I watched in my life until the Cleveland Browns defeated the Seattle Seahawks 6-3 earlier this year.
I want turkey and high scoring from theses 2 teams.  Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions will be a shootout and the Miami Dolphins won't be pushovers for the Dallas Cowboys.  Even with those 2 games erlier in the day, my eyes are all over in Baltimore.

Gobble, Gobble!!
