Thanksgiving Day NFL Picks: APC Expects Lions to Defeat Packers in Week 13

With a Thursday full of football this week, we're going to do our weekly NFL picks in two parts for Week 13. Today we'll give you our picks for the games on Thanksgiving day, and later this week we'll follow that up with the rest of the games on Sunday and Monday.

It should come as no surprise to Packers fans, however, that all of APC is pessimistic about Green Bay's chances in the Motor City this Thursday, as Matt Flynn appears in line to get the start. The last time the Packers played the Lions, Calvin Johnson sat out and gave the Packers' defense a bit of a rest in the secondary. That will not be the case this week, as both he and Nate Burleson are back on the field.

Check out our picks below, and head over to the FanPosts to make your predictions in the Pick'em contest.

Here are our overall records after last week, which saw a bunch of games go the wrong way for our writers.
