NFL-How many teams playing on Thanksgiving Day will win their next NFL game?

Settled as Three of six teams win

Philadelphia, Tennessee, Arizona

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl

Background:

Playing on Thanksgiving is one of those double-edged swords. First of all, you usually have a very short week, having just played on Sunday, then having to suit up and hit the field again on Thursday, and very possibly traveling along the way. But then, once the game is over, you have an extra-long break before your next game, so you may have time to rest, recover, and play well against that opponent.

So, how many of the six teams involved in this year's three Thanksgiving Day games will be able to win their next outing?

And just for the Eagles fans, a tie does not count as a win.

Week 14 opponents are:
Minnesota at Detroit
Philadelphia at New York Giants
Cleveland at Tennessee
New England at Seattle
St. Louis at Arizona
Dallas at Pittsburgh

Teams in bold are the ones who played on Thanksgiving.

Some of these games are fairly predictable, but the Dallas/Pittsburgh game should be a close one, and Philly may play the Giants well.

Question suspends at the kickoff of the earliest games.

Just to make sure everyone understands this question. There are six teams playing on Thanksgiving Day. They will be involved in six separate games the following week and the question asks how many of those 6 games will these Turkey Day teams win following the extended time off they'll get to have.
