Last season's Cowboys game on Thanksgiving drew 41.4 million viewers, the third-most viewers in NFL regular season history. And people will watch again this year, even though they shouldn't. But hey, just because that side dish on the table looks a little weird and you can't pronounce what it is, it doesn't mean it doesn't taste good.

This year’s NFL Thanksgiving slate may not make you as sleepy as all that turkey you’re going to eat, but it’s definitely lost some luster since before the season.
