The Thanksgiving game is always a benefit to the home team, though it's no guarantee.

The home team (who has experience preaparing for a short week) doesn't have to travel, and can use the extra day to instill a game plan. The visitor plays on Sunday, rests on Monday, and travels on Wednesday. That's one day of practical study and practice.

Fortunately, we have a coach for every starter (and two for the backups), so everyone should know their roles by kickoff.
