The Cowboys may be heavily favored in their Thanksgiving Day showdown against the division rival Commanders, but as any longtime NFL fan can attest, on any given Thursday, anything can happen.
Margins are slim in the NFL and teams will pay for it if they take an opponent for granted. Look no further than Washington last week. The Commanders were heavily favored against Tommy DeVito and the Giants, yet they lost by a double-digit margin in their Week 11 shocker.
Understandably, the 7-3 Cowboys are favored heavily to win at home against 4-7 Washington on Thursday afternoon.
But in order to fulfill the expectations, the Cowboys will need to win in a few key matchups.
