The NFL’s Thanksgiving menu includes three full servings of action.
Week 12 of the NFL season kicks off with the special Thanksgiving Day slate of games.
First, the Buffalo Bills (7-3) play their second consecutive game at Ford Field — but this time, against the Detroit Lions (4-6). Kickoff is at 11:30 a.m. Arrowhead Time on CBS — locally on KCTV/5. According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Bills are favored by 10 points.
Then it’s a big NFC East battle as the injury-riddled New York Giants (7-3) travel to Texas to face the Dallas Cowboys (7-3). That game will be on FOX (locally on WDAF/4) at 3:30 p.m. DraftKings favors the Cowboys by 10.
Thanksgiving concludes with the New England Patriots (6-4) in Minneapolis to play the Minnesota Vikings (8-2) on Amazon’s Thursday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 7:20 p.m. DraftKings lists the Vikings as 2.5-point favorites.
