NFLInsight360 – November 19, 2025
Detroit, MI – NFL fans, clear your Sunday plans! The league has just dropped the official schedule for one of Week 12’s most intriguing matchups: the Detroit Lions will host the New York Giants at Ford Field on Sunday, November 23, 2025, with kickoff set for 1:00 PM ET – a full three hours earlier than the 4:25 PM late-afternoon slot many were anticipating.
This early window on FOX is a strategic flex by the NFL to load up the prime afternoon slate, giving East Coast viewers a blockbuster right in the heart of their Sunday. No more waiting around – it’s Lions football at lunchtime!
Detroit Lions vs. New York… wait, no – Detroit Lions vs. New York Giants Date: Sunday, November 23, 2025 Time: 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT / 6:00 PM GMT Venue: Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan Broadcast: FOX (nationally televised in most markets) Monday in Asia: Mon, Nov 24 – 1:00 AM GMT+7
Dan Campbell’s hard-nosed, bite-the-kneecaps Lions are riding high after a strong season and return home as favorites against Brian Daboll’s resilient Giants. Jared Goff and the Detroit offense have been lighting up scoreboards, while New York leans on Saquon Barkley and a gritty defense to pull off road upsets. Oddsmakers currently have Detroit favored by 6–7 points, but never count out Big Blue when they smell an opportunity.
