NFL Thanksgiving Day games predictions
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions, 10:30 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)
We still don't know how the Lions rallied to beat the Bears. This is lining up to be a very special season in Detroit and it will continue against the Packers.
Prediction: Lions 24, Packers 21
Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys, 2:30 p.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Commanders are a mess right now. The Cowboys are not. Look for that to continue. Dallas' defense is just too good.
Prediction: Cowboys 31, Commanders 17
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks, 6:20 p.m. NBC (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Seahawks are tough at home, but the 49ers seem to have their moxie back. This could be close, but San Francisco's defense will make a key play or two late.
Prediction: 49ers 27, Seahawks 20
NFL power rankings Week 12: Broncos, Lions, Texans, Browns keep winning streaks alive
NFL Black Friday game prediction
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets, 1 p.m., Amazon Prime Video (stream with Amazon Prime Video)
Who will play QB for the Jets? Does it even matter? New York doesn't have the offense to stay with Miami.
Prediction: Dolphins 28, Jets 14

Sunday early football games predictions
New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons, 11 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)
This NFC South rivalry game really intrigues us. We have more faith in the Saints' offense to get the job done in a defensive struggle.
Prediction: Saints 20, Falcons 17
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals, 11 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)
How will the Bengals fare without Joe Burrow? Our guess is not well. Pittsburgh's defense is salivating thinking about facing Jake Browning.
Prediction: Steelers 20, Bengals 14
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans, 11 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Jaguars are 4-0 on the road. The Texans are 4-1 at home. Houston is just on a roll right now and we think that will continue for C.J. Stroud and company.
Prediction: Texans 27, Jaguars 21
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Indianapolis Colts, 11 a.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)
Tampa Bay had to play at San Francisco last week. The Colts got the week off. Advantage Indianapolis, even if the Colts are just 1-4 at home.
Prediction: Colts 21, Buccaneers 20
New England Patriots at New York Giants, 11 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Patriots have the rest advantage, but the Giants impressed in their Week 11 win against the Commanders. New York can win another.
Prediction: Giants 17, Patriots 13
Carolina Panthers at Tennessee Titans, 11 a.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)
Both of these teams have lost three games in a row. The Titans are a much better team at home (3-1) than on the road (0-6) and this game is at Nissan Stadium.
Prediction: Titans 20, Panthers 16
NFL Week 12 odds: Point spreads, moneylines, over/unders for betting on games
Sunday late football games predictions
Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals, 2:05 p.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)
Kyler Murray is 1-0 at home this season and just seems to play better at home. He'll make a big play late to help Arizona edge Los Angeles.
Prediction: Cardinals 24, Rams 23
Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos, 2:05 p.m., FOX (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Broncos have won four straight games. The Browns have won three in a row. Denver has more experience at quarterback.
Prediction: Broncos 20, Browns 17
Kansas City Chiefs at Las Vegas Raiders, 2:25 p.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Raiders are 4-1 at home this season, but they haven't played anyone of Kansas City's caliber at Allegiant Stadium.
Prediction: Chiefs 27, Raiders 17
Buffalo Bills at Philadelphia Eagles, 2:25 p.m., CBS (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Bills may have rediscovered some of their moxie in Week 11, but the Eagles are a lot better than the Jets.
Prediction: Eagles 28, Bills 24

Baltimore Ravens at Los Angeles Chargers, 6:20 p.m., NBC, Universo (stream with free trial from FUBO)

Prediction: Ravens 24, Chargers 21
Monday Night Football prediction
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings, 6:15 p.m., ESPN, ABC, ESPN Deportes (stream with free trial from FUBO)
The Vikings' win streak ended with a close loss to the Broncos. They can start a new one against the Bears.
Prediction: Vikings 27, Bears 19
