Thanksgiving Day NFL Picks: Lions, Cowboys, And 49ers Expected To Shine

Along with Thanksgiving, the NFL tradition of football games is approaching to accompany the festivities. Like the aroma of turkey filling the air, the Detroit Lions’ presence on the field is certain. While enjoying the holiday season, relax on the couch to catch the game season’s exciting start.

Gathering around the Thanksgiving table, the NFL treats us to a trio of exciting matchups, with the Detroit Lions facing off against the Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys taking on the Commanders, and a potential thriller between the 49ers and Seahawks. Let’s dive into the picks and predictions for these holiday clashes.

Packers vs Lions, the annual Lions Thanksgiving game promises some field excitement as they face the Packers. The Lions, with an impressive 8-2 record, are in prime position in the NFC. Meanwhile, at 4-6, the Packers have struggled to meet expectations. 

The spread favours the Lions at -7.5, and the moneyline inclines heavily in their favour at -375. Despite a frightening situation against the Bears last week, the Lions are expected to handle business against their rivals.

Moreover, Amazon won’t be airing the evening game on Thanksgiving despite its recent contract. Instead, it’s set to broadcast a special Friday night game this year.

Thanksgiving Games Lineup:

  • Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions at 12:30 p.m. ET on Fox
  • Washington Commanders vs. Dallas Cowboys at 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS
  • San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC

Friday Game:

  • Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets at 3:00 p.m. ET on Amazon

Everyone can watch every NFL game on Thanksgiving without a cable subscription, and you can watch NFL games for free. The best way to do so is with a good HD antenna for a reliable signal on a big screen. On Friday, your over-the-air viewing options are limited to residing in the broadcast area of either team.

Streaming Without Cable:

  • Peacock: NBC’s streaming service offers a seven-day free trial and subsequent monthly charges of $6 or $12, excluding live sports from the free version.
  • Disney+: The Disney, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle, priced at $15 per month, no longer has a free trial.
  • Hulu with Live TV: The service, costing $77 per month, no longer offers a free trial.
  • YouTubeTV: Monthly charges of $73 follow a two-week trial.
  • Sling TV: The lower-tiered “Orange” plan is $40 monthly, with a 50% discount on the first month’s bill.
  • DirecTV Stream: Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow, and AT&T TV, this streaming service starts at $75 per month after a free trial.
  • Fubo TV: The sports-focused service offers a seven-day free trial and monthly charges starting at $75.

Amazon Streaming:

While Amazon typically hosts Thursday Night Football, it will exclusively carry a Black Friday game this year. Normal programming resumes the following week.

NFL Viewing Packages:

  • NFL App: Stream local games on Sundays, with options to watch “out of market” games.
  • NFL: Live local and out-of-market games, with a seven-day free trial and monthly charges of $6.99.
  • NFL Sunday Ticket: YouTube has taken over broadcast duties, with prices ranging from $300 to $439 for the season, including optional NFL Red Zone.

As you settle into the holiday feeling, these options ensure you won’t miss any exciting NFL action during Thanksgiving and Black Friday. We can enjoy our Thanksgiving feasts, and football fans can savour these intriguing matchups, with the Lions, Cowboys, Jordan Love, Jared Goff, and 49ers poised to deliver memorable performances on the gridiron.
