The first game, Lions-Packers, is an all-NFC clash. But then you've got Chiefs-Cowboys and finally AFC North drama with Ravens-Bengals.
It should be a lot of football fun.

Who should Steelers fans root for on Thanksgiving?
It makes sense for Steelers fans to root for the Cowboys and the Bengals.
The first game, between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, doesn't matter much. Take your pick there.

The Chiefs enter the day 6-5, and the AFC would much prefer them knocked down a rung or two rather than getting hot for the stretch run.

The nightcap is the obvious big one.
The Ravens enter the day 6-5, the same record as the Steelers, tied atop the AFC North.
The Bengals likely need to win out to have any chance at the playoffs from 3-8, but they have Joe Burrow back now, so they can certainly win that football game.
