2025 NFL Week 13 Schedule
Thanksgiving Day starts with the traditional early game hosted by the Detroit Lions. This year, the Green Bay Packers will come calling, making for an instant classic. Memories of the Packers and Lions date back to the Vince Lombardi era, when the great 1962 championship team was ambushed and routed by the Lions. This year, the Lions and Packers are expected to fight for the NFC North division title.
The second game on Thanksgiving is the annual late afternoon game in Dallas. This year, the Cowboys will host the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City remains a marquee band that the networks want on TV whenever possible. The question is if Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid can recover from last year’s Super Bowl debacle. Meanwhile, not much is expected from the Cowboys in 2025. But Dallas could be a victim of being judged too harshly after injuries ruined their 2024 season, forcing a head coaching change from Mike McCarthy to Brian Schottenheimer.
The Thanksgiving nightcap, as the Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals, could be the best game of the day. Cincinnati is expecting to challenge the Ravens for the AFC North title as long as Joe Burrow can stay healthy. Baltimore is fighting to make its first Super Bowl in the Lamar Jackson era. Jackson is a proven MVP quarterback but has yet to produce a Super Bowl berth. This matchup beats pumpkin pie as a true Thanksgiving dessert.
Friday afternoon, Amazon Prime delivers a strong matchup between the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles. The Bears will enter Philly with a body of work that will reveal if rookie head coach Ben Johnson was the right hire. Along the same lines, it will be an important benchmark for second-year quarterback Caleb Williams, who was the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.
The late Sunday afternoon window offers two attractive matchups that could have playoff implications.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Buffalo Bills in what could be a critical showdown between the two teams. The Steelers are facing a season of uncertainty with their quarterback room still unsettled. One thing is certain: fans and gamblers won’t be drawn to Mason Rudolph under center. Meanwhile, we will learn if the high expectations for the Bills are justified.
The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Las Vegas Raiders in a rivalry that dates back to 1960 and the founding of the American Football League. The Raiders and Chargers have shared the same division since that charter campaign. By this time, fans and gamblers will learn if the hiring of Pete Carroll as head coach and the import of former Seattle Seahawk QB Geno Smith are paying dividends or not.
