The three Thanksgiving games this season will be Bills at Lions, Giants at Cowboys and Patriots at Vikings. Each of those games features captivating storylines and, in the case of the Giants-Cowboys game, an intriguing divisional race.
The Bills rank second in scoring offense (28.1 points per game) and fourth in scoring defense (17.4), though Buffalo has suffered a bit of a lull with losses to the Jets and Vikings in recent weeks. They will take on a suddenly hot Lions team with a dangerous offense that ranks eighth in scoring (25.0 points).
Elsewhere, the Giants will take on the Cowboys in a game that would place the winner squarely in second place in the NFC East behind a suddenly human Eagles team. And in the final game of the day, Bill Belichick’s Patriots will take on a Vikings team that has thrived in close games all season.
