A short week makes it impossible to tell how either team will look in the NFL's Thanksgiving Day centerpiece.
The NFL has set the table for a Thanksgiving matchup featuring two similar flavors: the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams came into the previous week in need of a major win against a superior opponent. Both had middling records and were in danger of sinking out of contention. Both started out poorly only to storm back with a late offensive surge and strong defensive stand.
