Los Angeles Chargers: 3 Bold predictions vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving
By Derek Snyder
2. Chargers will sack Dak Prescott 4 or more times
If Tyron Smith still isn’t able to play on Thursday afternoon against Los Angeles, the Chargers pass-rush is going to destroy Dak Prescott’s ability to move the chains or even get positive yardage for that matter. Not to mention, without Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield, Dallas could be in major trouble against the ‘Bolts on Thanksgiving.
The Cowboys gave up eight sacks to the Falcons in Week 10 and just gave up four more sacks to the Eagles in Week 11. In case you don’t have your calculator in hand, that means Prescott has been sacked an average of six times per game over the Cowboys last two football games.
Needless to say, it doesn’t take a football genius to figure out why Dallas has only scored 16 points over the last two weeks.
If Smith does indeed miss the game on Thursday afternoon against the Chargers, I predict Los Angeles will get at least four sacks by the end of the game. Not to mention, without a competent running attack, Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram will get to pin their ears back and go after the quarterback with relentless pressure.
