Starting in 2024, the NFL should determine its Thanksgiving matchups with this method:
Detroit and Dallas host the home opponents on their schedule who have gone the longest without appearing on Thanksgiving. Under this criteria Detroit would have hosted Denver and Dallas the LA Rams this year.
The night game would have the team with the longest active drought outside of Detroit and Dallas’ home opponents playing the opponent on their schedule with the longest-active drought outside said teams. That would have made the night game Jacksonville at Cleveland this year, a matchup which lost some of its luster due to the season-ending injury to Deshaun Watson, who like Trevor Lawrence won a CFP title with Clemson.
I am A Fan of both Chicago Bears & Philadelphia Eagles. If Bears were to play on Black Friday FOX 32 would air Bears Game & WPWR 50 would run FOX Sports Programming. have very minor concern for Philadephia I suggest CBS 3 to show Eagles & Philly 57 run CBS College Football Game & FOX 29 run entire FOX Sports Programming keep in mine FOX 29 does not have A duopoly Station.
Eagles vs Cowboys on Thanksgiving on FOX 11/28/14.
