Top Five Games to Watch on Thanksgiving

Other than the turkey, the best part of Thanksgiving is the sports! Here are five games that you can’t miss!

#5 Thanksgiving Game - Gonzaga vs. Western Kentucky

If football doesn't tickle your fancy, then this college basketball matchup between Gonzaga and Western Kentucky should be a doozy. The Zags are ranked 14th in the nation, while Western Kentucky is a very good team that has a chance to be ranked soon. Western Kentucky has an outstanding player in Courtney Lee and Gonzaga has a promising young freshman named Austin Daye. The game tips off at 11:30 pm ET on ESPNU.

#4 Thanksgiving Game – Cowboys vs. Jets

Sure the New York Jets stink this year, but they are playing the red-hot Dallas Cowboys. And what better team to watch on this American holiday, than America’s favorite team? The Jets will surely have their handful with the Cowboys’ high octane offense led by Tony Romo and Terrell Owens. Everyone one knows T.O. loves the big stage, so you can bet on him putting on a spectacular display for all you guys as you chow down your turkey! Catch this game on CBS at 4:15 pm ET.

#3 Thanksgiving Game - Kansas State vs. George Mason

If you haven't seen college basketball's freshman sensation Michael Beasley play yet you should start on Thursday. Beasley and his 20th ranked Kansas State Wildcats take on George Mason. The Patriots will definitely have their hands full with this future NBA star, but don't count them out yet. So far this season, George Mason is 3-0 and remember - they were a Final Four team just a few years ago. You can see this matchup at 9pm ET on ESPN 2.

#2 Thanksgiving Game - Packers vs. Lions

A battle between the NFC North's top two teams, this promises to be a good game. The Green Bay Packers are one of the best teams in the NFL this season, while the Lions have been solid up until their last two games. But this game will be in Detroit and you can bet on the Lions being pumped up for an upset. It won't be easy though - Brett Favre has led his Packers to five straight victories. This is an early game as kickoff is 12:30 pm ET on Fox.

#1 Thanksgiving Game – USC vs. Arizona State

A classic Pac 10 rivalry, this promises to be a great game. Right now, the USC Trojans are ranked eleventh in the nation while the Arizona State Sun Devils are ranked sixth in the nation. If ASU wins, they will secure the PAC 10 title and have a legitimate shot at a BCS Bowl Game! The Devils are led by Rudy Burgess, who is one of the premier quarterbacks in the nation. Catch this west coast showdown 8pm ET on ESPN.
