It’s time for my favorite weekend of the NFL season. In Week 13, we have three games on Thanksgiving Day now, and that’s been the case for the past few seasons now. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys have traditionally played every year, of course, and now we have grown accustomed to the night game, which is a rotation of teams.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family, loved ones, etc. I am thankful for you coming to read each and every week, and if you’re having success, I hope that this column has been a small part. And, if you’re having a rough season like I am, with a new guy seemingly acquiring a season-ending injury each week, well, blame somebody else – ha.
Not only do we have the three Thursday games, but for the second straight season we have a Black Friday contest, too. That’s exciting, but it can be a little hectic if you’re focused on other things, perhaps with family in town, and you forget to set your lineup. Make a point do so early, so you can worry about what’s important.
