The Dallas Cowboys are 28-15-1 all-time on Thanksgiving including five out of the last seven. They are coming off an emotional win over the New York Giants and the Oakland Raiders are a ways out of playoff contention with questions at the quarterback position.

4. New England Patriots Over Houston Texans

The Patriots are riding high after the comeback win and Tom Brady’s offense is starting to click despite the fumbles. The Houston Texans are an absolute mess right now after losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars it seems like they’ve given up.

3. Detroit Lions Over Green Bay Packers

Jeff Hanisch - USA Today Sports

The Detroit Lions have sort of self-destructed the past couple weeks by blowing the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and turnovers galore in losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Lions will come out hungry on Thanksgiving day and the Green Bay Packers' offense will continue to struggle without Aaron Rodgers.

2. Carolina Panthers Over Tampa Bay Buccaneers

There really is no stopping Cam Newton right now. He led his team back against the Miami Dolphins last week and he is riding a seven-game winning streak. The Bucs have played better of late, but Newton and that Carolina Panthers' D are just too hot right now.

1. Chicago Bears Over Minnesota Vikings

Rob Grabowski - USA Today Sports

This might be a bit of a surprise seeing as the Chicago Bears just lost to the St. Louis Rams and the Minnesota Vikings played a hard-fought tie against the Packers, but the Bears' offense has moved the ball nicely with Josh McCown under center and I don’t think Christian Ponder can play two good games in a row. If the Bears' D steps up, they should get back to their winning ways in the NFC North.
