Thanksgiving Day is a very traditional holiday in the United States, very family-oriented and also a football day, with three games to spend the whole day sitting in front of the television watching two of the traditional teams of this date: the Detroit Lions in the first game, followed by the Dallas Cowboys.However, it is the Detroit Lions who have historically played on this day for the longest time, in a tradition that dates back to the days of the old NFL and which this Thursday celebrates its 90th anniversary.In addition, for this Thanksgiving week 12 date, the opponents are also traditional: the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants, respectively, making the games even more attractive with divisional matchups.
A historic NFL rivalry
The Lions (10-1), considered by many to be the best team in the NFL, host the Bears (4-7), who have yet to complete their rebuild, but will kick off the Thanksgiving slate on Thursday at noon.
While it’s a divisional matchup, it’s two teams heading in opposite directions: the Lions have won nine straight games. Last Sunday, Detroit easily defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 24-6. Meanwhile, the Bears are in a tailspin with five straight losses, last weekend they managed to take the Minnesota Vikings to overtime, but ended up falling 30-27.In Las Vegas, the Bears are given little chance, as the Colts are 10.5-point favorites, although traditionally this Thanksgiving morning matchup is usually very attractive and full of points.
