Dallas Cowboys Can Feast On NFC East Top Spot With Thanksgiving Win
It's hard to believe that the Dallas Cowboys are currently tied for the lead in the NFC East with the New York Giants. The Cowboys have won three in a row to go 6-4, and are at home this Thursday for their Thanksgiving game versus the surging Miami Dolphins.
Miami has also won three in a row going into the game, and the Cowboys definitely need to bring their 'A-Game' for this one. They managed to get out of Washington with a win in overtime that definitely could have gone the other way. The Cowboys looked pretty rough against the Redskins, and if not for a missed field goal by Washington early in the overtime, and a scrambling pass by Tony Romo to get the Cowboys in field goal range on the following series, it would be a different story this Thanksgiving day.
Dallas got some help too from a Philadelphia win over the New York Giants to put them in their current position. And they can take control with a win over Miami at home in Arlington on Thursday. Demarco Murray has been a big boost to the Cowboys' ground game, but will it be enough? Can the 'Boys beat Miami? The current odds as of this writing favor Dallas by a touchdown.
