Buffalo Bills (8-3) at Dallas Cowboys (6-5)

Thursday, November 28, 4:30PM ET

Arguably the top matchup of Thanksgiving Day, the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys will come together in hopes of feasting on each other’s playoff dreams. While the Cowboys need this win more, it’ll be the Bills who get the bigger piece of the wishbone.

As great as the Dallas offense has been this season, it tends to falter against legitimate defenses. Although often due more to the lackluster coaching than player shortcomings, the Cowboys simply can’t keep it together when facing a defense with sharp teeth. Unfortunately for Dak Prescott and Co., that’s exactly what Buffalo brings to the table.

Expect Tre’Davious White to shut down Amari Cooper, while the defensive front does its job against Ezekiel Elliott. The pressure off the edge is enough to make Prescott uncomfortable, forcing him to make more mistakes and takes more sacks than he’s had to all season.

That puts the ball into Josh Allen’s hands to win the game. While not nearly as talented of a signal-caller as his Dallas counterpart, the Bills’ youthful quarterback gives his club plenty to be thankful for with a few big plays that seal the deal and keep them well in the hunt for a postseason appearance.

Prediction: Bills win 21-18
