Thanksgiving is the best holiday and football plays a huge factor in that for me. There’s nothing like stuffing your face and then watching football all day.

Fantasy football is actually pretty compelling this week too, as there are several big name stars playing in the three games. I obviously didn’t list players like Keenan Allen (who had a MONSTER day against the Bills last week) or Evan Engram because by now, most people have them in their lineups every week.

These are actually pretty good games that fans have to look forward to, and that Lions/Vikings one means a lot as far as playoff standings go. The Vikings would be the second seed in the NFC playoffs if the season ended today and the Lions are fighting to get a piece of that NFC North title.

The Chargers have been surging and could be a contender for a Wild Card in the postseason. The Cowboys have to win, however, if they want any shot at playing football in January.

The Redskins/Giants game is pretty meaningless, but watching Kirk Cousins throw all night long could be entertaining. These games will be fun!

Be sure to check your lineups and have a happy Thanksgiving everyone!
