and Detroit Lions (-8) played annually on Thanksgiving Day. Those days are long gone, but for a time in the early 2000s, the two teams still played each other regularly on the holiday, playing each other six times during a span of 13 seasons from 2001 to 2013.
However, the two teams have not played a Thanksgiving game since, a span of 10 years. The Packers’ only game on the fourth Thursday of November since then was in 2015, when they lost to the Chicago Bears (+3.5)
in Brett Favre’s return to Green Bay.
