00:00as the third course is going to be a feast. A great game to cap

00:07off Turkey Day at Lambeau Field. The Green Bay Packers in

00:11eight and three football team and a three and a half point

00:14favorite against a Miami Dolphins team that is trying to

00:18fight its way back in a playoff positioning. The Dolphins have

00:22won three straight and covered in four in a row with the

00:26return of Tua Tung of Iloa in a five-game span since his

00:30return from injured reserve. Three and a half points spread

00:33in favor of Lambeau. How competitive will the night cap

00:38on Thanksgiving be? Well, and what is more importantly,

00:42right? What's the temperature of the night cap here since we

00:46have two is showing up and Miami and that's currently it

00:51looks like the average temperature at Lambeau on

00:54Thursday night for this time of year will be just about 30

00:59degrees or maybe just under what about seven to 10 miles per

01:02hour. We already know Tua has played in 40 sub 40

01:06temperatures four times with the Dolphins band and he is oh

01:11and four straight up in one and three against the number. Even

01:14worse, he fails to cover those spreads by eighteen points a

01:17game. So, we've got an issue here if you think the weather,

01:22the coldness is going to be what hampers Tua. I don't

01:26happen to think so in this particular spot. I don't think

01:29it's going to be double-digit winds. Uh you know, cold is

01:33cold but after having played in that what minus four degree

01:37Kansas City game last year, this should seem like a vacation

01:41for Tua and Miami. I do think uh I don't like Jordan Love is a

01:45favorite. It's not been a profitable endeavor in his uh

01:49short career. I do think Miami is certainly playing well

01:53enough uh to be able to keep this game within a field goal

01:57even win it outright but we also know night games on

02:01Thanksgiving, Ben. You know what they tend to do? They tend

02:04to go under the total and they have for quite a while now. So,

02:09uh that might be a lofty number for these two teams

02:12offensively to hit. Might all be about the defenses here on a

02:15short week.
