Gobble, gobble! It’s Thanksgiving and that means football!
Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday to Christmas. I love eating, drinking and watching football with the fam. This year we have everyone coming to my house, and with our ghetto TV from my college days, we can only hope everyone can squeeze into the living room and see the TV (yes, it’s that small)
Thanksgiving games are a tradition for the NFL since 1920. They typically host three rival games. The Dallas Cowboys have played every Thanksgiving since 1966! This year we have:
* Green Bay @ the Detroit Lions at 12:30 PM on Fox.
* Oakland @ Dallas from Cowboy Stadium at 4:15pm on CBS
* NY Giants @ Denver from Mile High at 8:20 PM on NFL Network
Do you have any Thanksgiving football traditions? We would love to hear them!
