It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without a full slate of football.

The NFL will continue its annual Thanksgiving Day tradition, rolling out three games beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET.

The action starts on FOX when the Lions host the Green Bay Packers in Detroit’s 70th Thanksgiving Day Classic. This year’s game marks the 19th time the Lions have battled the Packers on Thanksgiving, with Detroit holding an 11-6-1 advantage.

Go back for seconds, then tune into CBS and watch as the Raiders, playing on Thanksgiving for the first time since 1970, travel to Dallas at 4:15 p.m. ET.

Finally, as the Tryptophan begins to take effect, settle in for a primetime matchup between the New York Giants and host Denver Broncos at 8:20 p.m. ET on NFL Network.
