41 years of Thanksgiving Day games.
18 wins. 23 losses -- I suppose on the surface that doesn't seem too terrible.

Enjoy today's game vs the Bears. The Lions are projected to lose.

And this game has a 41.5 total. If the tryptophan from the turkey won't put you to sleep...this game almost certainly will.

Sound sound sound
They need to do away with this lions “tradition” already

just schedule 2 (doesn’t even need to be 3) games that have potential to be decent matchups

even if the lions are 10-0 on thanksgiving..nobody generally cares

always hilarious with these games on in the background on thanksgiving…all the sports fans watching are having barbershop talk about every team/player but the lions :dead:
