Considering that, I don’t care what the NFL commissioner says about doing it to accommodate fans. Something I love is that the games are perfectly stacked up, starting one after the other. Plus, there are two big rivalries: Green Bay vs Detroit and Washington vs Dallas. Everybody steps it up a little bit on Turkey Day. The games are nationally televised and lots of eyeballs are on them.
I’m expecting teams to play closer than the spreads would indicate. As an added bonus, the games this year might actually be good games, despite the large spreads. In America, Thanksgiving is the perfect day for staying home from work, watching football and betting on it.
