This is a great spot for the Cowboys. They get the defending SB champs at home on a short week in a nationally televised game. Jason Garrett has rallied the troops and while it most certainly is too little, too late, you can bet they will be fired up to win at home with the whole country watching.
With the Cowboys it was never a matter of talent, that was obvious, it was work ethic. Players believed they should win by simply stepping onto the field and weren't prepared to put in the work.
Seattle basically moved the ball at will last week against New Orleans, yet was undone by two Marshawn Lynch fumbles. The Cowboys have been taking good care of the ball under Garrett, with just a single turnover in each of the last two games. Points should not be hard to come by for either team. Dallas has one of the worst secondaries in the NFL and the Saints made Matt Hasselback look like Phil Rivers, allowing 366 yards through the air.
The Cowboys have played this game many times before and understand how to prepare for a very short week. Garrett has been with the team since 2007, so this Thanksgiving Day game is nothing new, despite his relative inexperience as a head coach.
The key for me is the hook. In what should be a back and forth affair, the half point might prove vital.
COWBOYS +3.5
Happy Turkey Day Boys!!!
