The Dallas Cowboys have a bit of life in their uphill climb to get back in the playoff picture, and now they take on a team that also needs a win: the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Thanksgiving Day game sees Dallas come in on a two-game winning streak that followed a revamp of its previously terrible defense. The Cowboys, though, face a tougher task against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, who are coming off a big victory against Indianapolis.
The Chiefs are only a half-game ahead of the Cowboys, but they are a solid three-point road favorite in what amounts as a must-win for both teams.

Bookies.com: Bet the Chiefs to cover vs Cowboys
Bill Speros writes: “Will Taylor Swift travel to Dallas to spend Thanksgiving with her betrothed? The folks at CBS sure hope so. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo share their Thanksgiving with you and a few million of their closest friends. The Mahomes Magic came up short in Denver last week but returned from near-death to beat Indy in OT on Sunday, 23-20. That win came after the Chiefs (6-5) trailed by 11 points in the 4th quarter. The Cowboys rode off Sunday with a 24-21 decision over the Eagles at Jerry World thanks to Dak Prescott’s arm, George Pickens’ hands, and the golden toe of kicker Brandon Aubrey. Kansas City DC Steve Spagnuolo holds the edge in a short week here. Kansas City’s defense dictates the pace. Last season, the Chiefs were 12-0 in one-score games. This season, they lost their first five such affairs before Sunday. Markets always revert to the mean. Unfortunately, the Cowboys emptied the playbook Sunday. Patrick Mahomes does just enough to outlast the hosts. No worries about the tryptophan here, this game is shaping up as an instant classic.”

Sportsnaut: Kansas City Chiefs 28, Dallas Cowboys 27
Matt Johnson writes: “We’re certainly not ruling out the possibility of the Dallas Cowboys upsetting the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. For one thing, Kansas City doesn’t have much of a run game to speak of, and its offensive line could be a bit leaky against this new-look Cowboys’ front seven. We can also say confidently that the Chiefs’ secondary isn’t well-equipped to handle both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, especially with Dak Prescott more than capable of outmastering Steve Spagnuolo in a chess match. In the end, it will be the weakest link for both teams (Cowboys’ secondary) that allows Patrick Mahomes to get a critical win for the Chiefs.”
