While most of America enjoys turkey and stuffing on Thanksgiving, the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders will be fighting to stay in their respective conferences' playoff picture. Dallas (6-5) finds itself on top of the NFC East, while the Raiders (4-7) are pulling up the rear in the AFC West.
Oakland's playoff hopes might be a bit more far-fetched than its Turkey Day opponent's, but the silver and black are no pushover. In four of their past five games, the Raiders have won or lost by five or fewer points.
The Cowboys know a thing or two about tight contests as well. Jason Garrett's team has had just four games decided by more than 10 points this season.
Considering this is the first time Dallas and Oakland have played one another in the past four seasons, there's all the more reason this game could be surprisingly close. The Cowboys need a win to keep hold of the top spot in the NFC East while Oakland will be trying to climb out of its division's basement.
Grab a good arm chair and some leftovers for what could be a thrilling Thanksgiving Day game.
