1. Chargers will beat Cowboys, 24-13

At the end of the day, I believe Los Angeles has the better football team heading into Thanksgiving day. Trust me, I never thought I would actually type those words, but here we are, especially if the Cowboys left-tackle Tryon Smith misses another start.

Everyone thought that Dak Prescott had an Aaron Rodgers-like ability to put his team on his back and lead them to the postseason, but apparently everyone was wrong again. Not only have the Cowboys lost their last two games, but they’ve been outscored 64-16. Needless to say, their last two games haven’t been close whatsoever.

With a Los Angeles team coming in on an extreme high after destroying the Buffalo Bills a week ago, the Cowboys could be in major trouble again. Not to mention, if they cannot find a way to beat the ‘Bolts, it will surely point to the end of their 2017 NFC Playoff ambitions.

Maybe a few Chargers turnovers could swing the momentum in Dallas’ favor on Thursday afternoon, but I don’t see that happening against a solid offense that will rely heavily on Melvin Gordon. With that said, we’ve seen crazier things happen before.
