Thanksgiving NFL Schedule: What NFL Games Are On This Thanksgiving
There’s your football wrap for Thanksgiving.
The Thanksgiving slate of games is already over, with the Lions crushing the Eagles, the Panthers staying undefeated against the Cowboys, and the Bears shocking the Packers in an upset. Detroit has been competitive in all but two games this season, and after Martha Ford shook up the front office the Lions have responded with improved defense, though they’ve scored only 18 points in each victory. The Chicago Bears and Chicago Cardinals played every year from 1922 to 1933, and the New York Giants usually played another New York team between 1929-1938. Boy have times changed. The signal caller must play well and mistake-free for his team to continue their win streak. Thanksgiving games stopped during World War II, and after the war ended, Detroit was the only team to keep the tradition alive. Moss gained 163 yards on just three catches, all of which were touchdowns.
The Packers first opened as touchdown favorites over the Bears according to Vegas odds makers.
The visual for this game was noteworthy in itself. The Dallas Cowboys, meanwhile, only jumped on board in 1966 – just five years after they joined the league – and have only sat out the holiday twice, in 1975 and 1977. Week 12 is full of some great potential games.
It’s been half of a decade since National Basketball Association games were played on the Thursday before the last Saturday of November. Dolphins kicker Pete Stoyanovich knocked down a 19-yard field goal on the next play and the Dolphins won 16-14.
In 1863, president Abraham Lincoln set a fixed date for the holiday of Thanksgiving for the first time, which beforehand was a sporadic holiday without a set date. Mississippi State defeated Ole Miss with the help of an injured Dak Prescott “Willis Reed-ing” the team to victory.
Ads for the film also ran in pre-game and post-game shows on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” earlier this week. The Panthers are 10-0 straight up and an impressive 8-2 against the spread.
Before The Bus made his last stop in Detroit at Super Bowl XL, Jerome Bettis had one of the lowest moments of his career in his hometown of Detroit. After all, the Detroit Lions have been featured in them for a long time. The Steelers’ Jerome Bettis called heads but quickly switched to tails while the coin was in the air. Of course, the day for sports fan is also meant to be watching NFL football during or after the meal as Thanksgiving is one of the most publicized days of the year for the league. He then signed with the rival Cowboys which infuriated many of his former teammates.
Ryan denied the claims, and chortled at Johnson’s suggestion that he was fat. As a way of marketing the team to more of the country, Richards, a radio executive with a lot of pull, got his team a slot on Thanksgiving.
