Thanksgiving Touchdowns: A Turkey Day NFL Tripleheader! 🦃🏈

Get ready for a football feast this Thanksgiving with an NFL tripleheader! Here’s your guide to the games, picks, and how to watch.

Thanksgiving Day 2024 is set to be an exhilarating spectacle for both football fans and food lovers alike as America gears up for the NFL's time-honored tradition: a thrilling triple-header! For the 19th consecutive year, the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys will grace our screens, offering up a perfect blend of tradition, rivalry, and, let’s face it, a chance to avoid post-dinner naps. The first game kicks off at 12:30 PM EST, featuring the Chicago Bears squaring off against our beloved Lions – a matchup that promises plenty of action and maybe even a playful scuffle for the leftovers!

But the fun doesn't stop there! As Turkey Day unfolds, viewers can switch channels (or just grab their remotes – we know you have one!) to witness the Dallas Cowboys take on the New York Giants in the afternoon showdown. This classic rivalry is bound to ignite some friendly banter among family and friends, with football fans arguing over whether the Cowboys are legitimate Super Bowl contenders or simply a team with a strong marketing department. Can we hear a round of applause for America's Team?

And for those looking to maximize their football experience, there are plenty of betting opportunities—especially with the best anytime touchdown scorer prop bets! The NFL Thanksgiving slate features some big names vying for a trip to the end zone, and savvy viewers can cash in by placing bets on players who might just be ready to serve winning touchdowns like mom serves turkey. Who’s feeling lucky? Because come Thursday, all eyes will be glued to that TV screen or streaming service, which, by the way, has countless ways for you to catch the games live online, even if you’ve ditched cable for a more tech-savvy lifestyle.

So grab your snacks and get ready for a day packed with touchdowns, tackles, and turkey! A fun perk? Judith, the grandma of the family, might just become the unlikely football expert, offering unsolicited commentary amidst the fourth quarter chaos while you’re trying to figure out what that white sauce is on your pumpkin pie.

In socially-induced football news, did you know the Lions and Cowboys have been hosting Thanksgiving games since 1934 and 1966, respectively? That’s over 80 years of football tradition we’re smack dab in the middle of! And for some bonus trivia: last year’s Thanksgiving Day games racked up millions of viewers, proving that even Cousin Joe, who claims to hate sports, will inevitably join in for the “big game” and maybe even boast about his fantasy football team. Happy Thanksgiving, and may the best team win (or at least may every turkey leg be filled with gravy!).
