Football Widows Beware NFL Has Full Slate Of Thursday Games And A Friday Game Too!
Prior to the start of the season many football afficionados sent messages, letters and/or videos to their significant others. Why? To let them know that starting in September they would be unavailable on Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. And at some point on Fridays and Saturdays. Well those times have been upon us for a few months now. And yet football widows should beware that the NFL has a full slate of Thursday games and a Friday game too this week! Actually it all starts tomorrow.
As you know, Thanksgiving Thursday has belonged to the NFL for sometime, years even. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States and there will be three NFL games played. And those will be followed up with a Friday game to help boost Black Friday. The following helpful chart was provided by NFL Communications:
| GAME | DAY | NETWORK | EASTERN TIME |
| Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) at Detroit Lions (7-4) | Thanksgiving | FOX | 1 p.m. |
| Kansas City Chiefs (6-5) at Dallas Cowboys (5-5-1) | Thanksgiving | CBS | 4:30 p.m. |
| Cincinnati Bengals (3-8) at Baltimore Ravens (6-5) | Thanksgiving | NBC | 8:20 p.m. |
| Chicago Bears (8-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (8-3) | Black Friday | Prime Video | 3 p.m. |
As you can see, Amazon is hosting the Friday game of the Bears vs. Eagles hence the Black Friday reference. But if you have no intentions of shopping that day then football will be there for you. It’s expected to be a great game between the Bears and Eagles with the Bears being on a roll right now. Quarterback Caleb Williams and head coach Ben Johnson have gotten things turned around for the windy city. Nevertheless the Thursday slate of games also offer some mouth-watering competition.

Other than the Bengals all the Thursday night teams have winning records. But for the Bengals they are expected to have quarterback Joe Burrow back in the pocket. Although some wonder what is the point of him returning to a 3-8 team that is likely to miss the playoffs. Accordingly, Burrow said, if healthy, he is always going to play no matter the circumstances. However, Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson has had his own injuries this season. But with him back at the helm, Baltimore is surging sitting at 6-5.
Naturally we will expect fireworks from the Packers at Lions game to kick off the Thursday games. Head coach Dan Campbell is a gambler and likes to go for it on fourth downs. Looking forward to seeing mor of that. Whereas the Packers seem to take a more slow and steady approach which has gotten them to 7-3-1. Interestingly, it was with the Cowboys that the Packers tied 40-40 in Week 4. Will the Cowboys tie with the Chiefs in Week 13? As it stands the Chiefs are only one game ahead of the Cowboys.
