NFL expert predicts winner of Chargers vs. Falcons in Week 12

It’s Thanksgiving Week and we all know what that means around here: Instead of football picks, I’m going to share all my 10 favorite Thanksgiving recipes with you!

If it were up to me, Thanksgiving would be held on the fourth Thursday of EVERY month, not just November. There’s no reason November should get all the glory.

If you have a family member who’s never watched football before, make them watch the Lions play. They will fall in love instantly.
