NFL THANKSGIVING PICKS:Against the spread | Straight up

What teams are playing on Thanksgiving 2025? 

Game Time (ET) TV channel
Packers vs. Lions 1 p.m. FOX, Fubo
Chiefs vs. Cowboys 4:30 p.m. CBS, Fubo, Paramount+
Bengals vs. Ravens 8:20 p.m. NBC, Peacock

An NFC North matchup is a near-lock for Thanksgiving every year, and that won’t change in 2025. The Green Bay Packers will meet the Detroit Lions to begin the three-game slate.

With both teams still contending for the division title, the Packers and Lions will have some high stakes in the divisional matchup as Jordan Love and Jared Goff face off.

In the second game of Thanksgiving day, arguably the two most well-known teams in football will meet in Dallas. The Cowboys will host the Chiefs, with both squads owning high-powered offenses as they look to overcome slower starts than usual and make a playoff push. 

Wrapping up the three-game slate will be Bengals vs. Ravens, with a chance of getting a matchup between Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson if Burrow can return from injury. Either way, it will be a star-studded game that will carry big AFC North implications.
