I think they’re playing better football than the chiefs right now. Also home game on thanksgiving.

Is it the same team though? I think their defense is light years better than they were 3 weeks ago with Q and Overshown back. It made a difference their past 2 games.The same Cowboys team that lost handily at home a few weeks ago to Arizona? Hmmmmm, not sure about that.I think they’re playing better football than the chiefs right now. Also home game on thanksgiving.

This is an entirely different team.

Cowboys win this one bigly. Coming off a big win against a division rival, they can complete the back to back task of beating both teams in the Super Bowl last year.
Pickens is just unstoppable right now, the best jump ball WR they have had since Dez Bryant. Sure the Chiefs have some decent CBs, but I'm not sure it matters.
Chiefs have the 11th best pass D, Tied for 3rd fewest Passing TDs, but are tied with the Eagles with 22 sacks (tied for 8th fewest) on the season, which as we saw on Sunday if you don't get to Dak to affect his throws he will dice you up.
I don't see that changing this game either.
Cowboys 37
Cheifs 31

I posted again but deleted it. I'm going to retract this a little. I think the Cowboys win but not handily. It will likely be a close game and my pick is Cowboys given that they'll be at home on Thanksgiving all amped up.
The question in this game is what number will be higher,the Cowboys final score or the number of times the cameras show Jerry?
The Home Team is playing better recently but you can't discount The Visitors win a few days ago.
If The Visitors don't run the ball at least a little bit they are in trouble.
My first instinct is to take The Home Team.
Turkey Day game,home dog
Hard to ignore
so...
America's Former Team- 29
The Visitors- 24

I'll take Mahomes and Andy Reid please
But I'll root for the Cowboys on Turkey Day
My son and I have a special connection thru the Cowboys, we got to see our first NFL game together in Big D, it was a ****ing blast and not just the game
but I have a feeling the battle tested Chiefs are feeling good after knocking off the AFC leading Colts
Here is my prediction, An NFL record for ratings on a Thanksgiving game, this will shatter whatever stood prior
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends, you know where to find your 2nd family

The Chiefs only road win was against the NY Giants. They'll lose this game and then run the table to get to 11-6 and a wildcard spot.
This feels like a higher scoring game. Hot take I have, I still think KC is the team to beat in the AFC, even at 6-5, they are the last team in the AFC I'd want to face. Some of that speaks to how better the NFC is than the AFC.
I think KC dominates in the middle of the field in this one. I think Travis Kelce has a solid game, and I think Rashee Rice has a strong case for WR1 overall this week. I also think he's a good bet for at least 1 TD, as the Cowboys strength is now the DL, and with no Trey Smith, I think KC isn't as willing to even try to run by the GL. Expecting a lot of quick passes as I expect the Dallas pass rush to beat the KC OL.
I think Pickens keeps on rolling with some big plays, and I think Lamb compiles, and they both probably have around 100 yards. I think Javonte Williams is a sneaky play this week, as I think he could be a strong TD threat. He's had some awful TD luck of late, but had 8 through 8 games, and his usage hasn't changed. I'd be surprised if he didn't punch one in.
I don't see a ton of defense being played in this one, most drives end in a TD or FG. Ultimately, I just think KC is a better team.
