Who will win the Turkey Leg Awards for the Thanksgiving Day games?

In what is a holiday tradition for Thanksgiving day, there will be a player from each game that will be crowned as player of the game and be handed massive turkey legs for their accomplishments.

Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions: Aidan Hutchinson

The former number two overall pick has a clear knack for being able to take over football games, and this feels like just one of those games to do it. Jordan Love is coming off perhaps his best game of the season but the Detroit Lions want to make sure that doesn’t happen again. Hutchinson should be able to take advantage of a middle of the road offensive line and harass Love all afternoon.

San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith

It’s been one of the most fun stories in the league over the last year and now the reclamation of Geno Smith finds its way to primetime on Thanksgiving day. Smith hasn’t quite played up to the level he did the season prior but he still has Seattle in prime position to make the playoffs. A huge upset over the division rival 49ers would likely need to come through the arm of Smith, who may very well get that done with his loaded receiving core.

Washington Commanders vs Dallas Cowboys: CeeDee Lamb

Flexing his complete dominance over the stretch of his last five games CeeDee Lamb looks prime to serve up a feast against a struggling Washington secondary. Given the fact that Tommy DeVito and Darious Slayton roasted this secondary last week, Lamb should be able to continue his unique connection with quarterback Dak Prescott and present another 100+ yard game.
