Week 12 of the NFL season kicks off with a Thanksgiving Day tripleheader: the Chicago Bears (3-7) on the road against the Detroit Lions (0-9-1) at 11:30 a.m. (Arrowhead Time), the Dallas Cowboys (7-3) hosting the Las Vegas Raiders (5-5) at 3:30 p.m. and the Buffalo Bills (6-4) in The Big Easy to face the New Orleans Saints (5-5) on Thursday Night Football.
The Kansas City Chiefs — along with the Arizona Cardinals — have the week off.
Sunday’s late afternoon games will have a matchup in which Chiefs fans will be very interested: the Los Angeles Chargers (6-4) in Colorado to play the Denver Broncos (5-5). According to the DraftKings Sportsbook, the Chargers are favored by 2.5 points.
In Sunday’s early games, there are two big AFC matchups: the New England Patriots (7-4) playing host to the Tennessee Titans (8-3) and the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4-1) traveling to Ohio to face the Cincinnati Bengals (6-4). Then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3) are on the road for a big interconference matchup with the Indianapolis Colts (6-5).
The other late games will feature a big NFC showdown between the Los Angeles Rams (7-3) and Green Bay Packers (8-3) at Lambeau Field — and an NFC game that should be a good matchup: the Minnesota Vikings (5-5) on the road to play the San Francisco 49ers (5-5).
Sunday Night Football will have an AFC North battle in which the Baltimore Ravens (7-3) will host the Cleveland Browns (6-5). Then Week 12 will conclude with the Seattle Seahawks (3-7) in our nation’s capital to face the Washington Football Team (4-6) on Monday Night Football.
