It’s the last Thursday before Thanksgiving, which means now is a great time to call up your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa or great-grandparents for their recipes and hit the grocery store to pick up all of the ingredients.
It’s also a great time to watch some football.
The Houston Texans will host the Buffalo Bills in the last ‘Thursday Night Football’ game before next week’s national holiday. It’s also the second straight season in which Houston hosts the Bills. Last year, the Texans took the win on a 59-yard game-winning field goal as time expired.
Both teams are coming off wins in Week 11 as they enter a prime-time matchup that could have some playoff implications – Buffalo holds the AFC’s No. 1 wild card spot, and Houston is just outside of the postseason bubble.
Notably, the Texans are still without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud, who remains in the league’s concussion protocol for another week. Backup Davis Mills is making his third straight start.
USA TODAY Sports will be providing live updates on score changes, highlights and notable injuries (should they happen) throughout the evening on Nov. 20.

Texans vs Bills prediction
The Texans still don’t have their starting quarterback, with Stroud still in concussion protocol. The Bills’ starting quarterback is coming off one of the most impressive games of his career with six total touchdowns. Houston backup Davis Mills may be 2-0, but this Buffalo team is a step above the inconsistent Jacksonville Jaguars and several steps above the 1-9 Tennessee Titans. The Bills’ offense will have its work cut out for them against a Texans defense that ranks among the best in the league, but Buffalo is ultimately the better team with Stroud still missing from Houston’s offense.
Prediction: Bills 17, Texans 14
