I think part of the reason why the Bears are the lucky (or unlucky) choice has a lot to do with the other opponents. FOX Sports isn't dumb. They wouldn't want to feature a Cowboys' home game vs. high profile divisional opponents such as the Redskins, Giants or Eagles, let alone a team like the Super Bowl Champion Saints on such a traditional holiday as Thanksgiving. Besides, let CBS Sports' Jim Nantz & Phil Simms put America to sleep on Turkey Day with an AFC opponent in Detroit vs. a Lions' team likely planning for the 2011 NFL Draft by the time they play.

I think they rotate the game every year between fox & cbs.
