In the final game of a Thanksgiving Day NFL triple-header, the Green Bay Packers will host the Miami Dolphins in a game that could become very intriguing.
It will pit two of the game’s best young quarterbacks against each other — Jordan Love of the Packers and the Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa — and it will also feature stars such as Miami wide receiver Tyreek Hill and Packers running back Josh Jacobs.
Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden took to X (formerly Twitter) to give his prediction for this game, and he’s picking Green Bay to prevail 26-24 on a last-second field goal.

The Packers became the darlings of the national media after an extended spurt of unexpected success during the second half of last season that almost took them to the NFC Championship Game, and they take an 8-3 record into Thursday’s matchup.
They may not catch the Detroit Lions for first place in the NFC North, but they should have at least a puncher’s chance of doing something special in this winter’s playoffs.
Meanwhile, Miami is starting to recover after a concussion forced Tagovailoa to miss four games, and although they have a 5-6 record, they have been starting to cook lately.
They have won three games in a row, and they have scored 34 points in both of their last two contests.
If Miami is to make the playoffs in a crowded AFC, they will almost certainly have to win this game at Lambeau Field, an arena that is tough to win in when the weather turns ice cold.
