Turkey Day is here and Washington is on the schedule seemingly just like old times as Washington is our most frequent Thanksgiving game opponent. This will be the 11th meeting and we're 8-2 against them so far on this day. What happens this year? Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and travel safe if you are.

The point system
10 points - Picking the correct game winner​
6 points - Exact score bonus for getting both teams' scores exactly right​
3 points - Close score bonus for being within 3 points of both teams' scores​
2 points - Each bonus question​

To play this week, you give me this:

1. Dallas vs. Washington game score
2. Bonus 1: Total accepted penalties in the game (within 2).
3. Bonus 2: Which team will have the higher combined 3rd and 4th Down Conversion percentage?
4. Bonus 3: Will Brian Anger be over or under 57.5 yards for his longest punt of the day?
5. Bonus 4: Which team will run the highest number of total plays in the game?

Picks are due by posted game time of 3:30 P.M. Central this Sunday. If you need to change any part of your pick, make a new post instead of editing your old one or your update won't count as I only go back to where I left off gathering entries.

On the punts, it's gross. And I upped it to 57.5 while you were fast on the draw, lol.

Did the Just For Fun Prediction thread get merged in here for some reason? :huh:
I am guessing it was merged by accident.

I went through and manually split the posts back into the JFF thread and featured the thread, so hopefully that helps make up for it :D

Dallas 27- Commodes 16. We pull away late in a closer game than many think. I've changed my mind on the score about 6 times I think lol. The Turkey Day game is always special to me because it reminds me of the Thanksgiving game, I went to with my military Kid in 2021. Raiders beat us in OT with the refs assistance. I recall my son showed up on leave and surprised me with tickets, just us, Father and son. The funny thing was they were standing room only tickets at the endzone. lol...he didnt realize it when he bought them but we laugh about it still. My feet hurt me for 3 days afterwards. We have alot to be thankful for guys, our loved ones. In a crazy world, lets take a breath and unplug Thursday and enjoy the little things. God Bless and go Cowboys!!! :flagwave::popcorn: BTW...the Raiders fans in attendance(2021) were actually kinda cool. We razzed each others teams all day...became friends really. Was fun. All the stories we hear about the Raiders Fans are a bit unfair I think. But the Philly fans are absolute feces. Its just universally known. End of rant.
