The Detroit Lions upcoming annual Thanksgiving day game’s half time show will be performed by Nickleback. They are promoting their new album.
Nickleback already has two songs on the top 100 charts, named Bottoms Up and We All Stand Together. They are the most popular foreign band in the US right now. They have sold 50 million albums since they formed in 1996.
Many Lions fans are very disappointed in this decision to pick Nickleback to perform at the half time show. There is a petition created on change.org to urge Ford Field to pick another band to perform at the Thanksgiving show.
In my opinion, Nickleback is an OK decision if they cannot get Kid Rock, Eminem, or another Michigan Native to perform.
I personally feel the Lions will win this game versus the Green Bay Packers. I feel the Lions have a better team and it will definitely help that this game is at home. This is going to be a redemption game for Matt Stafford because the last time he faced the Packers he threw four interceptions. The Detroit Lions also need to make sure they are protecting Matt Stafford so he is healthy for this game. It is going to be the most important game of the season up to the date.
The disappointing part of this game is Jahvid Best will not be healthy for this game. The Detroit Lions are really going to need Maurice Morris to step it up and newly acquired Kevin Smith to get comfortable with the Lions after being resigned this past week. If the Lions can keep Matthew Stafford healthy for this game and keep the Stafford to Calvin Johnson connection alive they will be fine. I also think Brandon Pettigrew will be a huge threat to the Packers in this game because of his short pass success in the first games of the season.
