In Week 12 we give thanks for three football games on Thursday.
The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys will host Thanksgiving Day matchups, and the New Orleans Saints will attempt to continue their hot streak at home against NFC South foe Atlanta Falcons.
Although many families will be enjoying a hearty meal during those contests, they're merely the appetizer for a busy NFL weekend.
Since only two teams have a bye, 30 franchises will be in action. While the number of marquee showdowns is limited, playoff positioning is starting to become important. The Green Bay Packers, for example, are in desperate need of a win.
