Thanksgiving Games Preview

The game also features the potential for coaching changes with the Bears, particularly regarding Ben Johnson.

Giants vs. Cowboys

• 00:19:16 The Giants vs. Cowboys Thanksgiving game is predicted to be a lopsided victory for the Cowboys due to the Giants' offensive line struggles and the Cowboys' improved pass rush. The game is considered a 'tryptophan injection' due to its potential for a lackluster performance and a mismatch in talent. Mike McCarthy's future with the Cowboys is also discussed, with the possibility of an extension being considered due to their success.

Dolphins vs. Packers

• 00:31:58 The Dolphins vs. Packers game is considered one of the best matchups of the week, with both teams boasting strong offenses and potential mismatches. Josh Jacobs is predicted to have a strong performance, possibly running for over 200 yards. Tua Tagovailoa is playing at a high level, despite the offense being more 'dink and dunk' in nature. The Packers' run game and potential for turnovers is also highlighted.

Raiders vs. Chiefs

• 00:46:22 The Raiders vs. Chiefs Black Friday game features the return of Aiden O'Connell and the potential for a Raiders upset. However, the Chiefs' offensive line and secondary are considered vulnerabilities.

The Raiders' tight end Brock Bowers is highlighted as a potential star in the making.

Chiefs' Issues

• 00:52:08 The Chiefs are a good team, but they have some concerning weaknesses. Their offensive tackles are a major concern, both due to performance and injuries.
