Game Preview

Detroit enters its traditional Thanksgiving home game with one of the league’s more balanced offenses, leaning heavily on an efficient passing attack and a run game that tends to elevate at home behind one of the NFL’s top offensive lines. Their defensive front has generated steady pressure all season, and in recent weeks they’ve improved in red-zone stops, a crucial factor in keeping momentum in a holiday spotlight matchup.

Green Bay arrives with a young but dangerous offense built around rhythm passing, pre-snap motion, and speed after the catch. Their success often hinges on pass protection—when the line holds, the Packers can attack vertically and put stress on Detroit’s secondary.

Both teams come in with notable injuries: Detroit’s secondary remains shorthanded with multiple defensive backs listed as questionable, while the Packers are monitoring the status of two starting offensive linemen. Weather plays no factor indoors, which historically favors offensive production in this matchup. This game typically swings on turnovers, as recent meetings have featured several momentum-shifting mistakes and special teams splash plays.

Game Preview

The Chiefs enter today's game leaning heavily on a passing attack that has surged back to top-tier efficiency over the last three weeks. Patrick Mahomes has looked increasingly comfortable operating behind improved protection, and Kansas City’s offensive structure has expanded again with more intermediate crossers, misdirection, and second-reaction throws. Their defense, especially on third down, has quietly become one of the team’s biggest advantages, generating pressure without blitzing and forcing opponents to play behind the sticks.

Dallas comes in seeking stability after a volatile stretch of offensive performances. When the Cowboys’ offensive line is intact, their unit can still create explosive plays through rhythm passes, layered crossing routes, and chunk runs off outside-zone. The key for Dallas is limiting negative plays—sacks, penalties, and early-down losses have derailed too many drives this season. Defensively, the Cowboys still have high-end pass-rush capability, but they’ve struggled in coverage communication against motion-heavy offenses, something Kansas City will test repeatedly.

Injuries are a factor for both sides: Kansas City enters with a couple of questionable starters at wide receiver, and Dallas’ secondary remains thin, which could impact their ability to hold up against Mahomes’ improvisation. Weather is no issue indoors, raising the scoring ceiling for both offenses.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Baltimore Ravens

Game Preview

The biggest storyline is Joe Burrow’s return to the lineup, giving Cincinnati a massive boost after several weeks of offensive inconsistency. With Burrow back, the Bengals regain their full passing structure—quick timing throws, intermediate crossers, and deep sideline shots to Ja’Marr Chase return to the forefront of their game plan. Cincinnati still needs better offensive-line play, but Burrow’s presence alone elevates their third-down efficiency and red-zone upside.

Baltimore counters with one of the NFL’s most balanced teams. Lamar Jackson enters the night playing near-MVP-level football, combining efficient passing with selective, high-impact rushing. The Ravens’ defense remains elite in pressure rate and coverage versatility, often disguising shell rotations pre-snap to bait quarterbacks into mistakes. Their biggest challenge tonight will be containing Burrow’s timing game and preventing explosive throws to Chase and Tee Higgins.

Injuries will play a role—Cincinnati’s defensive front is still banged up, particularly at EDGE, which could allow Jackson more time and more designed movement. Baltimore’s offensive line also enters with a couple of questionable starters, making trench play a crucial subplot. Weather at M&T Bank Stadium looks playable but chilly, with mild winds that could slightly affect downfield throws.
