NFL TV Schedule 2015: Week 12 Live Stream, TV Coverage Map and Game Times

The Thanksgiving tripleheader is packed with meaningful games.

The early game will be broadcast by Fox at 12:30 p.m. ET, and it will see the 4-6 Philadelphia Eagles clawing to hang on to their dim postseason hopes on the road against the 3-7 Detroit Lions. While the Eagles have a better record, the two teams have been moving in opposite directions.

Philly has lost its last two games, and the Lions are on a two-game winning streak. A win by the Eagles would bring them to within a half-game of the NFC East lead. The Lions have a tougher road to the postseason, but a three-game win streak might make a few believers.

Here's a look at the entire schedule and viewing information for Week 12.

Panthers at Cowboys

At 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS, Cam Newton will lead the undefeated Carolina Panthers (10-0) into the Lone Star State to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Despite being 3-7, the recently returned Tony Romo and the Cowboys are just two games behind the Giants in the NFC East.

They have their eyes on doing big things now that Romo is back in the saddle. FoxSports.com's Peter Schrager believes the Cowboys are set up for a run to the NFC Championship Game. 

Per NFL Network, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett is obviously looking at Romo as a potential savior for the Cowboys' season:

It's not preposterous. Because the NFC East is so mediocre this season, the Cowboys have been allowed to hang around through their injuries. Now that guys like Romo are getting healthy, Dallas is as dangerous as any team in the conference.

That said, the Panthers and Newton still can't get any respect. They're undefeated, for crying out loud, but per OddsShark.com, some gambling sources have them as one-point underdogs. On Thanksgiving, someone will show and prove.

Bears at Packers

In the Thanksgiving nightcap, the biggest rivalry in the NFL will be renewed. The Green Bay Packers will host the Chicago Bears in a key NFC matchup. The Packers are tied with the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North lead.

The Bears were trying to make a run at a postseason berth, but their Week 11 loss to the Denver Broncos somewhat dimmed those hopes. If the 4-6 Bears are to salvage their playoff hopes, they have to beat the Packers. 

Green Bay has won six of the last seven games against the Bears at Lambeau Field. The only Bears win in that stretch came in 2013, when a sack by Shea McClellin injured Aaron Rodgers early in the first half. The Bears won that game 27-20.

Last year, Green Bay embarrassed the Bears 55-14 at Lambeau. Back in Week 1, the Packers nipped the Bears 31-23 at Soldier Field. Chicago will be trying to avoid the sweep on Thanksgiving.
