Thanksgiving Day starts with the traditional early game hosted by the Detroit Lions. The Chicago Bears will provide the opposition. Theoretically, this matchup could be a battle for playoff position, if not the NFC North Division lead.
For the Bears to be in such a position, the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams of USC, will have to light it up like few other quarterbacks in history. Can he do it? The Bears believe so. But gamblers are taking a wait-and-see attitude.
The Detroit Lions will be a tough out for the Bears. Even in their days as one of the worst teams in the NFL, the Lions would play like champions on Thanksgiving Day. Detroit will be fielding one of the best, if not the best, teams in its long history.
The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys have had a long rivalry that dates back to 1960. The Cowboys were an expansion team that year and have fought with the Giants in some of the biggest and best games in NFL history. Dallas is always a popular play with gamblers, especially in the casual sector, but the Cowboys are often overhyped.
On the other hand, the Giants are looking to rebound from a terrible setback season in 2023. Big Blue made the postseason, winning an NFC playoff game in 2022 under then-rookie head coach Brian Daboll. Now Daboll is on the hot seat and can’t afford further erosion, especially after it was assumed the G-Men had arrived.
Thanksgiving night could bring quite an advantage to the Green Bay Packers. As we saw last year, the Miami Dolphins folded in the cold of Kansas City to the Chiefs in the AFC playoffs. Green Bay won’t be warm, and it could be bitterly could with freezing rain or snow possible. If the weather is not dry and above freezing, gamblers will avoid Miami.
Speaking of home field advantage, GEHA Field at Arrowhead is one of the top home venue edges in any sport. And when the Raiders come visiting, Chiefs fans are out for blood. Most important of all, Patrick Mahomes will give the Chiefs a significant advantage at QB.
NBC Sunday Night Football will offer a potential Super Bowl preview when the Buffalo Bills host the San Francisco 49ers. Buffalo’s Super Bowl window is said to be closing. This night can refute that claim.
