NFL Thanksgiving games in 2024 begin at 12:30pm ET with Detroit hosting Chicago. Two more contests are on the Thanksgiving Day schedule.

Simply put, Detroit has exhibited no signs of a hangover after a brutal loss in last year’s NFC championship game. The Lions are an aggressive team that refuses to take their foot off the gas at any point, whether quarterback Jared Goff has thrown five interceptions or they have a 30-point lead.

Nothing says Thanksgiving Day like stuffing yourself with turkey and watching football. Three NFL games will be played on Thursday, beginning with the Bears at the Lions at 10:30 a.m. They are followed by an NFC East battle between the Giants and the Cowboys at 2:30 p.

The playoff standings are getting as crazy as a wild turkey prior to Thanksgiving, which is fitting since the league is hitting that point in the calendar. The NFC West is as unpredictable as ever, with the Seattle Seahawks taking over the division lead thanks to their win over the Arizona Cardinals.
