Feast on Sports: What to watch during Thanksgiving Week
By The Associated Press
Thanksgiving week is a time for family gatherings, big meals and maybe a little
early Christmas shopping.
It also happens to be a massive week for sports fans.
In addition to the regularly scheduled NFL, NBA and NHL games, there's a
multitude of other options perfect for parking on the couch and letting all
that food digest.
Here's a look a where to watch during Thanksgiving week (all times Eastern):
Thursday
NFL
Green Bay at Detroit, 1 p.m., Fox. The Lions' annual Thanksgiving Day game is
an important one for two teams fighting for playoff spots.
Kansas City at Dallas, 4:30 p.m., CBS. The Chiefs' dramatic win over
Indianapolis kept their playoff hopes alive. The Cowboys did the same by
rallying from 21 points down to beat Philadelphia last week. Neither team can
afford to lose this game.
Cincinnati at Baltimore, 8:20 p.m., NBC. The Ravens are on a roll with five
straight wins but can't afford a letdown against the Bengals, who hope to get
quarterback Joe Burrow back from a turf toe injury that's cost him most of the
season.
College basketball
No. 4 Duke against No. 22 Arkansas in the CBS Sports Thanksgiving Classic is
one college hoops fans won't want to miss, 8 p.m., CBS.
Michigan State and North Carolina close out the Myers Tip-Off with a marquee
game between top-tier programs, 4:30 p.m., Fox.
Battle 4 Atlantis semifinals in the Bahamas, Vanderbilt vs. Virginia
Commonwealth at noon and Virginia Tech vs. Saint Mary's at 2:30 p.m., ESPN.
The Players Era women's bracket concludes with No. 2 South Carolina against No.
4 Texas in the championship game (8 p.m., truTV) and No. 3 UCLA against Duke in
the third-place game (10:30 p.m., truTV).
College football
If you need a college football fix to go with your turkey, Navy plays at
Memphis, 7:30 p.m., ESPN
Friday
NFL
Chicago at Philadelphia, 3 p.m., Prime Video. An NFL game for Black Friday that
has playoff implications.
College football

interesting side plot with Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin planning to announce if
he's staying or leaving for another SEC team.
No. 23 Georgia Tech vs. No. 4 Georgia in Atlanta, 3:30 p.m., ABC. The Bulldogs'
bid to reach the CFP appears to be on solid ground, but they sure don't want to
lose to their rival.
No. 2 Indiana at Purdue, 7:30 p.m., NBC. The Hoosiers' perfect season should
continue against the struggling Boilermakers, but it is a rivalry game so ... .
No. 3 Texas A&M at No. 16 Texas, 7:30 p.m., ABC. The Longhorns would love
nothing more than to spoil the Aggies' best season since 1992 and boost their
slim playoff hopes.
Arizona at Arizona State, 9 p.m., Fox. The Territorial Cup has some juice in it
for the first time since 2014.
College basketball
