What channel is NFL and college basketball on today? Time, TV schedule for Thanksgiving

How would you like some turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing with your heaping helping of NFL on Thanksgiving Day?

Watching NFL games today is a tradition in many households. Not everyone stays awake for all of them — wink, wink — but you can't blame the tryptophan in your turkey. That is a myth.

The Packers and Lions started the festivities today on Fox. The Commanders and Cowboys continued the fun on CBS, and the 49ers and Seahawks conclude the slate beginning at 8:20 p.m. on NBC.

If the NFL isn't your thing, you're likely to find other sporting events and parades to suit your tastes (pun intended).

Besides the NFL, there is auto racing, college football, college basketball and golf.

Enjoy everything to the fullest with your friends and families!
