Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints
When: November 28, 8:20 p.m. kickoff
Where: Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Cost: $60+
Details: This year’s Thanksgiving Thursday Night Football game is also the annual at-home match-up for Atlanta and their arch rival, the Saints. While it’s been a dismal season for the 3-8 Falcons, they did pummel the Saints 26-9 in New Orleans earlier this month, so expect a heated game as the Saints look for revenge.
