The Thanksgiving NFL games are among the most viewed annually, and the upcoming match of the day features Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys hosting Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs. Dallas (5-5-1) is coming off a nail-biting 24-21 win against Philadelphia, holding a history of 34-22-1 on Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, Kansas City (6-5) defeated Indianapolis, 23-20, marking their first Thanksgiving appearance since 2006 with a record of 5-5.

Kickoff is scheduled at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas at 4:30 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+. The Cowboys have dominated their home matchups against the Chiefs recently, winning five straight. According to the latest odds, the Chiefs are favored by 3 points with an over/under set at 52.5 points. For those making predictions, the SportsLine projection model can provide insight before placing any bets.

Why the Chiefs Could Succeed

The Chiefs have shown resilience, even securing a win without Mahomes throwing a touchdown last game. Their running back Kareem Hunt racked up over 100 yards against a top-tier defense while holding the Colts’ star Jonathan Taylor to just 58 yards.

Why the Cowboys Could Prevail

The Cowboys have not lost to the Chiefs at home in over fifty years and boast a strong record of consecutive wins on Thanksgiving. With the highest offensive ranking and facing a Chiefs defense that has been inconsistent, Dallas stands a solid chance.
