It might just be the best week of the year because as we shove our faces with food, we get to enjoy football at the same time. Happy Thanksgiving Week! While some years feature a couple of lame games, this year is not the case. The league crushed the Turkey Day schedule and even included a big game on Black Friday, just in time for you to heat up that turkey sandwich with all the fixings and flip on some ball. Here are our Top 3 2025 NFL Games Week 13.
Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions
The Lions are currently on the outside looking in on the NFC playoff picture. Detroit is 7-4 but they are in a tough division and if they have any plans of winning the NFC North crown, taking care of the Packers at home is a must, especially after losing to them in the first game of the season. Green Bay is coming off a lockdown win against the Vikings who look worse by the week while the Lions managed to force overtime against a Jameis Winston-led Giants team that had no business being in that game. This should come down to the defense that can make a stop. Detroit snapped a seven game Thanksgiving losing streak last year with a win over the Bears and I think Gibbs and company make sure they make it two in a row. Prediction: Packers 22 Lions 25
Kansas City Chiefs vs Dallas Cowboys
After the first half of last week’s Chiefs game, I really thought it was over. The dynasty had packed it in, and the championship reign was over. But then they charged back and defeated the Colts and got back over .500. The second that you count out Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid is the second where you begin to look a bit gravy drunk. The Chiefs are still a force to be reckoned with, and I don’t think Dallas is going to know what hits them on Thanksgiving. I am opting to side with Reid and Co. on a short week. After an emotional win over Philly where the Cowboys made a comeback, expect a let down here. The defense is slightly improved, but I don’t like Dak against Spags. Prediction: Chiefs 31 Cowboys 20
Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles
On Black Friday, the Eagles are going to try to bounce back after a brutal loss to the Cowboys in Week 12. The Eagles held a 21-0 lead but watched it vanish. Shockingly, AJ Brown didn’t fire off a bunch of mean tweets, but the Eagles are hurting after that game. This is a chance for the Bears to prove to the entire country that they are not pretenders. While Chicago is 8-3 and in first place in the NFC North, I just am not bought in. Their three losses have been to Lions, Ravens, and Vikings. Their best win came against Dallas. They’ve yet to beat a team that I really believe in. If Ben Johnson has something up his sleeve and can beat the Eagles, I am a believer. But they are still frauds for now. Prediction: Bears 23 Eagles 28
