Thanksgiving Football Schedule

The day kicks off in familiar fashion, with the Detroit Lions (6-4) welcoming the Green Bay Packers (6-3-1) in their traditional Thanksgiving slot.

With both teams hunting a playoff place, this one has all the ingredients to stick in the memory.

Detroit have a star-studded roster. Quarterback Jared Goff has spearheaded an elite offense featuring elusive running back Jamhyr Gibbs and standout receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

And on defense, the always dangerous Aidan Hutchinson is doing his best job to keep pace with the leaders in the race to become the Defensive Player of the Year.

Green Bay rolls in with plenty of star power of their own. They have Jordan Love playing at a high level, Josh Jacobs doing what he does best in the ground game, and Micah Parsons playing like he wants the DPOY trophy already engraved.

This matchup rarely disappoints, and with so much riding on the result, this year's version could be the best yet.

Thanksgiving continues with a huge showdown between two iconic franchises, as Andy Reid leads the Kansas City Chiefs (5-5) into Arlington, hoping to conquer Brian Shottenheimer's Dallas Cowboys (4-5-1).

Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy make up a four-man wrecking crew capable of blowing open a game in a heartbeat. Few offenses create the kind of chaos that the Chiefs can, and even fewer can survive it.

But the Cowboys have ample firepower of their own. Comeback Player of the Year candidate Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson form a quartet that can trade punches with anyone.

Can the much-scrutinised Cowboys secondary hold up long enough to slow Mahomes down? Will Dallas' offense prove too potent for the Chiefs' defense? It has all the makings of a classic.

The nightcap delivers a fierce AFC North grudge match between the Baltimore Ravens (5-5) and Cincinnati Bengals (3-7) - two teams heading in very different directions.

Baltimore, now with Lamar Jackson back in the fold and Derrick Henry looking every bit the downhill menace he’s always been, have ripped off four straight wins and look primed to chase down the Steelers for the division lead.

Defensively, the Ravens have been reborn. With the league’s best and highest-paid safety patrolling the back end and Roquan Smith patrolling the middle of the field, Baltimore will be itching to put on a prime-time clinic.

The Bengals, clearly missing two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Joe Burrow, have lost three in a row and know they must improve to stand a chance of making the postseason.

Whoever lines up under center for Cincinnati, wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins - one of the deadliest wide receiver duos in the league - should produce fireworks, keeping fans on the edge of their seats throughout.
