If you haven’t checked your calendar lately, it’s Thanksgiving week, which means there’s a 57% chance that this is going to turn into a food newsletter over the next three days.

This is a huge game for both teams: If the Giants win, they’ll be just one game out of the final wild card spot in the NFC.
