Los Angeles Chargers: 3 Bold predictions vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving

3. Keenan Allen will be the game’s leading receiver

Keenan Allen is coming off a game where he absolutely destroyed the Bills secondary. Needless to say, his 12 reception, 159 receiving yard and 2 touchdown day was the fifth-year pro’s best game of the season thus far.

That said, Allen has another great match-up on the horizon for Thanksgiving day against the Cowboys. If the Chargers offensive line can contain Dallas’ pass-rush throughout the afternoon, it could be another long day for fans of the silver and blue.

While the Cowboys played pretty well against the Eagles receivers on Sunday Night Football in Week 11, they gave up 215 yards on the ground. Consequently, the Cowboys over-reaction to stopping Melvin Gordon on Thursday will result in the ‘Bolts receivers having a ton of one-on-one coverage.

Again, if the Chargers offensive line can give Philip Rivers enough time to go through his progressions, Allen will have another huge day in the stat-sheet for Los Angeles.
