Week 12 of the 2022-23 NFL season kicks off with three interesting games on Thanksgiving Day followed by a loaded slate of Sunday games, with no teams having byes this week (we wont mention Monday night’s snoozer.)

For once, meaningful games will be played on Thanksgiving. Josh Allen and the 7-3 Buffalo Bills will look to end a slightly sour skid against a surging 4-6 Detroit Lions team that has won three in a row. In the midday slot, the 7-3 New York Giants will go toe-to-toe with the 7-3 Dallas Cowboys as pecking order in both the division and conference is on the line. Finally, the 8-2 Minnesota Vikings will look to rebound from their second loss of the season as they host the 6-5 New England Patriots.

On Sunday, the 7-3 Tennessee Titans take on the 6-4 Cincinnati Bengals in an important AFC battle, and the 5-6 Atlanta Falcons take on the 6-5 Washington Commanders in what could be a key game for the eventual NFC wild card race. And on Sunday Night Football, Aaron Rodgers and the 4-7 Green Bay Packers are running out of chances to salvage their season, but will have a shot against Jalen Hurts and the 9-1 Philadelphia Eagles.
