Must-Watch Football Games Over Thanksgiving Weekend
The holiday of thanks is around the corner. There are only two things you should carefully prepare for: the turkey and what football games to watch!
You can leave the football preparation to us, the turkey is on you. From college to the NFL, here are the must watch football games for the Thanksgiving weekend.
College Football
Ohio State at Michigan, 9 am 11/28/15
One of the best rivalries in college football. If Penn State beats Michigan State, the winner of this game goes to the Big 10 Championship game against Iowa.
Alabama at Auburn - Iron Bowl, 12:30 pm 11/28/15
Despite a down season from Auburn, the rivalry between these two teams usually creates an exciting game.
Baylor at TCU, 4:30 pm 11/27/15
Time for round two! Friday will see a rematch of one of the best games from last season, where the Bears snuck by TCU 61 to 58. Will TCU win the rematch?
Notre Dame at Stanford, 4:30 pm 11/28/15
The Fighting Irish and the nerds of Stanford are both in playoff contention. A win here could help push either of them into the post-season.
Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, 5 pm 11/28/15
This will be a big game for the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. If State wins & Baylor loses, the Cowboys will win the Big 12. If Oklahoma wins, they will be Big 12 Champs!
NFL
Carolina at Dallas, 1:30 pm 11/26/15
It is a Thanksgiving tradition to have America's team playing on a very American holiday, even though this team is having a rough season. Romo being back should make an interesting match up against Cam Newton and his undefeated Panthers.
Chicago at Green Bay, 5:30 pm 11/26/15
One of NFL's oldest rivalries go head to head on Thanksgiving evening. Green Bay broke their losing streak last week and are now tied for the division lead with Minnesota. The Packers will have to string together a couple of wins in order to secure yet another division title.
Oakland at Tennessee, 10 am 11/29/15
The excitement for Oakland's season has dwindled with three straight loses. Raider nation hopes their team can end the month with a win against the Titans and Marcus Mariota.
Minnesota at Atlanta, 10 am 11/29/15
Both teams are in the hunt for the NFC Wild Card. This game could decide who will be in the playoffs.
New England at Denver, 5:30 pm 11/29/15
The Patriots are on fire this season & Peyton Manning is not. The Broncos will be starting backup quarterback Brock Osweiler. Osweiler made his first career start last week and got a win against the Chicago Bears on his 25th birthday. Could this backup deliver New England's first lost of the season?
