The NFL’s schedule release day has turned into a cross between draft day and April Fool’s Day. Breadcrumbs litter the internet, with leaks and rumors abounding in every corner about the supposed details of who will play whom, when, and where. They’re not all true, but each of them could be. We all know the matchups; almost any pairing on any given Sunday is a valid guess as long as the original poster tacks on an obligatory “I’m hearing…”
But some of those predictions carry more weight than others.
Cowboys fans may have gotten a sneak peek at this year’s Thanksgiving Day guest list, thanks to a tweet from an ESPN NFL Nation reporter.
Jordan Raanan, who has covered the New York Giants for the Worldwide Leader since 2016, hit social media with a single turkey emoji Wednesday morning, leading most to assume there will be a late-November trip to Arlington to face the Cowboys in their traditional late-afternoon timeslot.

Of course, the Giants could be on the docket for the early game in Detroit, or they could even be one of the teams suiting up for the Thursday night game that week. (Or none of the above.) But a presumptive seat at the Cowboys’ Turkey Day table sure seems like the intent of Raanan’s post.
The Giants last paid a holiday visit to Dallas in 2022; the Cowboys won that one by a 28-20 score. The storied divisional rivals have squared off before the pumpkin pie only once prior to that, in 1992, when the Cowboys were victorious, 30-3.
