THANKSGIVING DAY ....... NFL


Miami Dolphins quarterback, Joey Harrington returns to former club Detroit, looking for his 4th win in a row, a run which sees his team's, albeit slim, play off hopes resurrected.

These wins have come against strong teams in, Chicago, Kansas and Minnesota.

Harrington, cousin of the golfer Padraig, was 18-37 as a starter in Detroit and never won 3, let alone 4 straight games for them. He is certain of a warm reception from the tough Detroit crowd, who were never slow to boo him when he was a Lion.

Detroit are 2-8 on the season and in their two most recent losses, only posted 13 points against San Francisco ( conceding 26.5 average) and 10 verses Arizona ( giving up 23.3 per game) .

They are banged up today and miss several key starters including Kevin Jones, who has scored 7 of their 20 touchdowns, has 636 yards rushing, the rest of the team have 188 yards between them and is their 3rd highest receiver.

I have to side with the Dolphins to inflict more Thanksgiving Day misery on Detroit.

All three of today's games are live on Sky TV.

4 points Miami Dolphins to beat Detroit 1.71 betfair.

Good Luck.
