"The Dallas Cowboys, being America's Team, have been featured on the holiday since 1966. It has always been a tradition in my family. As a child, we'd all gather around the television wherever we happened to be spending Thanksgiving that year, and watch the Cowboys dominate their opponents. Well, that happened most of the time. My oldest memory of the Cowboys on Thanksgiving is a 46-36 loss against the Vikings. You probably know it as the Randy Moss game."
"Today, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs roll into town, and don't be fooled by their 6-5 record. The Chiefs are coming off of a huge win over the AFC-leading Indianapolis Colts last week after dropping their previous two to the Broncos and Bills. It's going to take some bold performances today from the Cowboys if they want to knock off the best quarterback on the planet, move to 6-5-1, and improve their chances at a playoff berth."
"This is bold because the Chiefs have only been held under 75 yards rushing once all season: last week vs the Denver Broncos. A couple of factors are contributing to this bold prediction becoming true: the Cowboys' new defensive front seven, and a major injury across the Chiefs offensive line. Starting LG Trey Smith has been ruled out with an injury, leaving a void in front of Patrick Mahomes that the Cowboys can exploit with the strength of their defense: the interior defensive line."
Week 13 includes Thanksgiving games with the Dallas Cowboys hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cowboys maintain a long-standing Thanksgiving tradition with varied memories of wins and losses. The Chiefs sit at 6-5 after beating the AFC-leading Colts but dropping their prior two games to Denver and Buffalo. The bold prediction is that the Cowboys will hold the Chiefs under 75 rushing yards. Contributing factors include the Cowboys' new defensive front seven and the absence of starting left guard Trey Smith, creating a vulnerability in front of Patrick Mahomes that the interior defensive line can exploit. RB Isiah Pacheco is expected to return.
