Home team: Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n

Time: 4:30 p.m. ET game (Fox, Fubo<\/a> try for free)<\/p>\n

Possible opponents: Giants, Eagles, Commanders, Cardinals, 49ers, Buccaneers, Jaguars, Titans, Ravens<\/p>\n

Breakdown: Last year, the NFL put two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in this spot and the game set a regular-season record by drawing 57.23 million viewers<\/a>. This year, the Cowboys do have another two-time MVP on the schedule in Lamar Jackson, but they don\u2019t be able to face the Ravens on Turkey Day because they\u2019ll be facing Baltimore in Week 3 down in Brazil. So that\u2019s out. The Cowboys have played a divisional opponent in three of the past four years on Thanksgiving, so that definitely seems like a possibility. In the past 10 years, there have only been four instances where the Cowboys didn\u2019t face a divisional opponent, and in all four cases, they played an AFC team, so let\u2019s throw the Jaguars in there as a possible surprise.<\/p>\n
