How appropriate the first NFL game of Thanksgiving Day 2021 should be a real turkey, and pretty meaningless in the whole scheme of things. The Bears-Lions kicks off at 12:30 pm. Gambling911.com has Chicago as the early -3 road favorite.
The only excitement in this game might be whether Detroit could have their first win. The Lions were playing in Cleveland in Week 11.
The Bears were hosting Baltimore win Week 11 hoping to avoid a fifth straight loss. The Ravens were without Lamar Jackson due to a bronchial infection. Baltimore was also missing another one of its big stars, Marquise Brown.
The NFL's Thanksgiving Day games have traditionally included one game hosted by the Detroit Lions since 1934, and one game hosted by the Dallas Cowboys since 1966 (with two exceptions in 1975 and 1977).
