It has been said that the NFL season begins at Thanksgiving, and with the festivities just a day away, it is time for teams to get serious about their prospects.
Actually, teams got serious in September once games started to count, but they need to be fully developed by late November so they can make a major move during the final five or six games of the season.
Teams that are at the .500 mark or better should have an excellent opportunity to determine their own destiny as far as playoff opportunities are concerned.
The same holds for fantasy football players.
