Thanksgiving is upon us and that means a brilliant slate of NFL games to watch through Thursday night into Friday and here’s how to watch all the games in the UK…
As is tradition, we get underway in Detroit as the Lions host the Chicago Bears, while there are two more games to look forward before we have the bonus Black Friday game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs too.

Sumeet’s NFL prediction record so far this season: 23-14
Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions

The Lions have a woeful record on Thanksgiving over the past decade or so, but this is a completely different team and time under Dan Campbell.
At 10-1 so far this season, they are emerging as one of the top picks from the NFC to make the Super Bowl this season as they build on an impressive year last time round, despite having to deal with some key injuries on both sides of the ball.
In contrast, the Bears have now lost five consecutive games and have fallen to 4-7, and having gone 0-4 on the road so far this year, we’re going all in on the Detroit Lions’ high-powered offense to make it a happier Thanksgiving at Ford Field this time round.
New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Thursday November 28, 21:30

Given the struggles of these two teams this season, this probably isn’t the ideal pick for many NFL fans to be watching while they’re tucking into their turkey and trimmings, but here we are.
The 2-9 New York Giants head to NFC East rivals the Dallas Cowboys, who are looking for their first home win of the season after what has been a horror show at the AT&T Stadium thus far.
With Tommy DeVito now a doubt, Drew Lock could come in at QB for the visitors, and while Dallas are dealing with their own problems, Micah Parsons and Co will be relishing the chance to stomp all over this hapless Giants offense and lead the Cowboys to a win.
Miami Dolphins @ Green Bay Packers
Friday November 29, 01:20

It’s that time of year again where question marks are raised over whether or not the Miami Dolphins are capable of delivering in cold weather.
With snow and tough winter conditions expected to greet them at Lambeau Field when they take on the Green Bay Packers, we’re not convinced that this is the game in which they find those answers.
Josh Jacobs ran all over the San Francisco 49ers last week as the 8-3 Packers look to be building some momentum again, and while Tua Tagovailoa has made a huge difference for the ‘Fins and he has the offensive weapons to hurt Green Bay, the running game could be the decisive factor and we’re going with the home side and Jacobs to best the 5-6 Dolphins, even though De’Von Achane should have a big game.
Las Vegas Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs
Friday November 29, 20:00
Sky Sports NFL/NOW TV
As if Thanksgiving wasn’t enough, the NFL have taken over Black Friday too and have another game for us to look forward to as the Kansas City Chiefs host the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Chiefs are 10-1 on the season, and although they got back to winning ways immediately after losing at the Buffalo Bills, they let the Carolina Panthers hang around last week and that seems to be the trend with them this year.
They’ll have too much for the 2-9 Raiders who have QB issues that will make life even more difficult for them, but Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will want to start looking more convincing as we get closer to playoff football.
