Thanksgiving Day Rooting Guide: Best outcomes for Eagles with playoff picture developing

The NFL is the biggest show in American professional sports, and Thanksgiving Thursday helps bring family, food, and playoff anxiety to millions nationwide.

The 2023 edition will have an NFC feel, as the scheduled slate of games will begin with the Green Bay Packers taking on the Detroit Lions, an NFC North rivalry that has been a feature of Thanksgiving Day football for decades.

The eating portion of the day (4:30) features NFC East rivals the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders meeting for the final time this season.

If you’re still awake and festive for the nightcap, fans will get a critical NFC West showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and rival San Francisco 49ers, who are both vying for the top spot in the division.

All three are divisional matchups, which only adds to the fun.
