Week 11 of the NFL season gave us 12 games decided by eight points or less, major upsets in Kansas City and Oakland and some more of that Vince Young/Chris Johnson magic out of the Titans. There were big defensive stands by the Colts and Cowboys, even bigger fantasy days out of T.O. and Wes Welker, and actually a watchable football game played in the state of Michigan.

What's in store in Week 12? Let's dig right into the Cheat Sheet and find out:

Last week's record: 12-4
Overall record: 109-52 (67 percent)

Thanksgiving

Green Bay at Detroit: Ahh, Thanksgiving. There are three things you can always count on. The food will be delicious, the family will be festive and the Lions will be down two touchdowns by halftime. Aaron Rodgers is 3-0 all-time against Detroit, completing 74 of 106 passes (69.8 percent) for 994 yards, 8 TDs, 1 INT and a 120.6 rating. The mustachioed gunslinger aims for his fourth meeting in a row against the Lions with 300-plus yards and a 110-plus rating. He'll get that and more.
The Pick: Packers 34, Lions 7
