In the three NFL games on Thanksgiving Day, the Philadelphia Eagles are the most popular choice among contestants in the Review-Journal NFL Challenge, which is published Sundays.

The R-J handicapping contest is a simulation of the Westgate SuperContest and uses the same lines.

Doug Fitz, Dana Lane and Tony Macklin are playing the Eagles as 2½-point underdogs at Detroit.

Joe D’Amico is on the Carolina Panthers as 1½-point underdogs at Dallas.

Dave Tuley is siding with the Chicago Bears as 8½-point underdogs at Green Bay.
