The Thanksgiving night game at Lambeau in late November will have an amazing aura.
In a battle between two of the NFL's best offenses, the Dolphins enter Thanksgiving with a 5-6 record after looking like an explosive shell without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Still, Miami is on the outside of making the playoffs and needs a win in just about every game.
The Dolphins travel to the frozen tundra as three-point underdogs for this prime-time matchup.

Dolphins vs Packers prediction
Did I mention it's going to be cold?
Tagovailoa is 1-3 straight up and 0-4 against the spread when temperatures dip below 40 degrees. According to BetMGM.
It's no surprise that the Dolphins got some money here, considering how well they've played in recent weeks, defeating the Patriots 34-15 in their last meeting.
It wouldn't hurt to take the Dolphins if there are holes in the Packers' run defense, but they are a solid run unit that ranks ninth in yards allowed per carry (4.2 YPC).
Green Bay's pass defense is also one of the better units, ranking 11th in pass defense according to Defense Adjusted Value Above Average (DVOA).
On the other hand, Miami is unable to stop its rapid progress as it ranks 26th in DVOA.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur is an artist when it comes to designing run plays, and Josh Jacobs is so wild that it's hard to believe Mike McDaniel is ready to steal his team on a road trip in enemy territory. Hard to think of.
Pick: Packers -3 (-110, ESPN Bet) | Josh Jacobs 100+ Rushing Yards (+290, Bet 365) — Small Sprinkles on 150+ Yards at 15/1 with Bet 365
