It’s Week 13! Thanksgiving is upon us. Last week gave us a matchup between the Harbaugh brothers, an impressive performance from Caleb Williams and new questions about Aaron Rodgers’s future. Let’s see what this week brings.

The action starts early with the traditional Thanksgiving tripleheader. The Thursday nightcap will see the Miami Dolphins visit the Green Bay Packers, with our staffers split evenly picking between the two teams. On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals will (again?) try to save their season with a win against the AFC North–leading Pittsburgh Steelers, and the top two running backs in the NFL will meet when Derrick Henry’s Baltimore Ravens host Saquon Barkley’s Philadelphia Eagles.
