NFL is as much a part of Thanksgiving as turkey and we have a triple header on Sky Sports 1 this Thursday with a live studio audience.

Dara Kennedy, Neil Reynolds and Shaun Gayle are joined for the first time this season by Jeff Reinebold for three live matches, which will be watched by our first live NFL audience after we gave you the chance to be part of the coverage.

The audience will get the chance to grill our experts with Q&A sessions and interact with our coverage across our social channels and watch the live action as we talk Thanksgiving, fans and NFL.
