And if you need a little help before heading to the app to make your picks for this week's big games, I've got you covered.

Let's dive into the questions and my predictions for the Thanksgiving Day games below.

Which quarterback will throw for the most PASSING YARDS?

Goff has the Lions humming along, winning three in a row and seven of their past eight. But he's going against a solid Packers pass defense. Green Bay is one of eight teams in the league giving up fewer than 200 passing yards per game (193.2).

I'll go with Prescott, who is at home (Dallas has yet to lose at home this season) against a Washington pass defense that's allowing 258.5 passing yards per game, third-most in the NFL.

Prediction: Dak Prescott

Order the teams by who will score the MOST POINTS from highest to lowest:

Detroit and Dallas playing on Thanksgiving is a tradition. Since Washington traded two of its best defensive players — first-round picks Montez Sweat and Chase Young — look for the Cowboys to feast.

Dallas is second in points per game (30.2, right behind Miami 's 30.5), and the Lions are sixth (27.2), and both are at home on the holiday.

I give Washington the nod to score more points than Green Bay. The Packers listed running backs Aaron Jones (sprained MCL), AJ Dillon (groin) and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder), as well as rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen), on the injury report.

Prediction: Cowboys, Lions, Commanders, Packers

Who will have the most TOTAL YARDS (rushing and receiving)?

The Lions will probably split the workload between Gibbs and Montgomery, so that worries me. One of them will put up huge numbers; I just don't know which of the two it will be.

Robinson is a weapon out of the backfield, but I'll go with Pollard. He should have a huge game.

Prediction: Brian Robinson

Order the receivers by who will have the most RECEIVING YARDS from highest to lowest:

Lamb had a streak of four consecutive games with 117 or more receiving yards snapped last week, so look for him to get back in rhythm against the Commanders.

St. Brown had a similar run end last week after tallying four games in a row with 102 or more receiving yards. However, Lamb is playing a softer defense and has emerged as one of the best receivers in the league.

The Seahawks share their receptions between Tyler Lockett , Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Metcalf, but of the three, the 6-foot-4 Metcalf is the biggest threat to have a breakout performance.

Prediction: Lamb, St. Brown, Metcalf, Aiyuk

Which team's defense will record the MOST SACKS?

Which team does Micah Parsons play for? The team with the star on the helmet — so the Cowboys are my pick to get the most sacks.

Parsons has been on a tear, recording four sacks in his past two games and six in his past four games (he has 10 on the season).

The Cowboys were a tough call over Aidan Hutchinson & Co., as the Lions will get to Love a few times on Thanksgiving.

Prediction:

What will be the outcome of the Packers-Lions game?

Did a double-take when I saw Detroit had lost six in a row on Thanksgiving. I don't see it reaching seven.

Detroit is one game behind Philadelphia for the best record in the NFC. That, combined with the Lions being in their comfort zone of playing at home, should result in a comfortable win over the Packers (Detroit is 4-1 at home this season).

Prediction: Lions win by 8 points or more

Tiebreaker: What will be the final score of the Packers-Lions game?

Prediction: Lions 31, Packers 17
