Tebow Scores or Throws for a Touchdown

Thanksgiving Bold Predictions

It's about time, isn't it? This whole Tim Tebow experiment with the Jets has been a mess. He's given them nothing. But given his flare for the dramatic, it only makes sense for Tebow's first big play of the season to come on Thanksgiving night on national television against the Jets' top rival.

Lions Upset the ... Maybe I'm overreacting, but allowing 37 points to the Jaguars on Sunday made me second-guess Houston's defense without star middle linebacker Brian Cushing. And Detroit's offense is exponentially better than Jacksonville's. The Lions (4-6) shoot down the 9-1 Texans in the Turkey Day opener. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)

Ryan Broyles Sco... The Lions rookie wide receiver sees an increase in snaps with Titus Young suspended for 'unacceptable' behavior. Broyles takes advantage, reaching the end zone twice in an upset of the Texans. (AP Photo/Rick Osentoski)

J.J. Watt Knocks... Texans defensive end J.J. 'Swatt' has knocked down 11 passes this season. That's pretty much one per game. He gets three in this one against an overmatched offensive line. (AP Photo/Dave Einsel)

Tony Romo Doesn'... The Cowboys' quarterback plays a clean game for just the fourth time in 11 games this season at home against the rival Redskins. No interceptions, no fumbles lost, no game-changing mistakes. That's bold for a quarterback who has thrown 13 interceptions. (AP Photo/Brandon Wade)

RG3 Throws 3 TD ... Robert Griffin III threw four touchdown passes Sunday against the Eagles. It's about to be seven in an amazing two-week stretch against a pair of division rivals. Is there even a doubt RG3 is the real deal? (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)

Cowboys Win a Sh... Dallas has struggled to score all season. Thanksgiving is different. The Cowboys explode against one of the league's worst pass defenses, and Romo outdoes RG3 in a dramatic Texas shootout. (AP Photo/Sharon Ellman)

New England Uses... With Rob Gronkowski out with a broken forearm, and the Jets vulnerable against the run, the Patriots turn to their ground game. Running back Stevan Ridley carries the ball 30 times while Tom Brady throws fewer than 30 passes in a narrow road victory. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola)

Patriots Win a S... The stats, numbers and talent level of each team says this should be a blowout. It won't be. Rex Ryan confuses Tom Brady enough to keep this one close, but the Jets just don't have enough offense to pull the upset. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
