Party crashers: Carolina Panthers (10-0) play at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day

Washington will face the Cincinnati Bengals on October 30 at Wembley Stadium and could also face St. Louis a week earlier at Twickenham Stadium depending on how the team finishes in the NFC East.

While the Cowboys dropped seven straight while Tony Romo was injured, his return and subsequent win suddenly makes this game against the Panthers a bit more evenly matched.

What are your predictions for this game and what are your final score predictions?

The Cowboys are finally back home from Florida for Thanksgiving and have one of the biggest tasks to swallow. With the way these quarterbacks have been playing, it’s very hard to argue that anyone other than these three players should be in the discussion for the Most Valuable Player in the National Football League this season. Carolina’s defense is ranked fourth in the league in terms of yards given up per game. However, one of the things people don’t take into consideration was that they were playing more than ever thanks to bad offensive play and were worn out by the end.

When it comes to advantages, both teams match up nearly equally when it comes to talent. The Carolina Panthers quarterback added, “We want to be relevant come January, February”. Romo is a talented quarterback but his health still remains an issue as there is no real indication he is back to 100% and we will find out once this bruising defense gets after him. For the Dallas Cowboys, if they lose this game, then they possibly lose a chance at winning the division.

The Cowboys now have Tony Romo back under center after missing 7 games, Dallas is four games under. Still, Dallas will have to play some of its best football to hand Carolina its first loss of the year. Like yours, the Coyboys’ plate will be FULL.

Darren McFadden said, “Either way it go, you are going to get sore after those games, whether is 29 or 17”. Cam Newton exploits a matchup advantage with TE Greg Olsen and gets enough help from a mediocre batch of wideouts.

Dez Bryant (foot/knee) is listed as limited, but has featured for the last few weeks, while Morris Claiborne (hamstring/ankle) and Ryan Russell (abdomen) remain out. If the Carolina secondary can contain that combo, they’ll put this to bed quickly.

Hardy has 4.5 sacks in six games thus far this season for the Cowboys. That’s going to be fun.

But the Cowboys were clearly a different team with Romo after Brandon Weeden went 0-3 and Matt Cassel finished 0-4 filling in for him. What is the most insane part of this though is the fact that Vegas found Carolina to be 1 point underdogs when Monday came around. I really do. You should – I think you let loose and not have any worries.

“I practiced that about seven or eight years ago”, Romo said. The Cowboys are in the way of making history, and on a day of being thankful for life, food, and family, we are also thankful for the Panthers being 10-0.
