The Thanksgiving nightcap between the Miami Dolphins (5-6) and the Green Bay Packers (8-3) features two teams that enter their Week 13 matchup on fire.
Miami has won three in a row following a three-game losing streak that ran their record to 2-6 while Green Bay has won six of their last seven games following their 2-2 start to 2024. However, the weather at Lambeau Field could play a significant factor in cooling off the Dolphins. Miami lost 11 consecutive games in which the temperature at kickoff was below 40 degrees, the longest active streak in the NFL.
