Here's my prediction on what the Cowboys are going to try and do on Thanksgiving. Offensively anyways.

1) Send Terrence Williams deep on one on one coverage to the right side. The Eagles will no doubt have one safety in the box a lot because of Murray. So single high safety defense will have the other safety cheating towards Dez or worried about Witten all day. Williams will have one, possibly two TD's. 85 yards

2) Lots of swing passes out of the backfield to Murray and Dunbar. I expect Dunbar to have a huge day. Philly has problems covering fast RB's in the flat. Their 3-4 LB's are too consumed with getting after the QB. Screens, swing passes, all day.

There it is. Dallas 31 Philly 23

Superbowl!

They'll need to get Dunbar more than the 2 snaps that he played against the Giants.

T. Williams has a broken finger so I don't know if this is the week for him to break out.

Escobar. Bryant will be doubled and Witten will get attention as well.

I don't know what the deal is with Williams, who seems to have disappeared (is it on him or the coaches?). I'll take more Beasley on Thanksgiving. He gets open and makes things happen (almost always good) every time he touches the ball...

Not sure if it's a surprise, but Murray and Dunbar could finish with over 100 yds receiving combined. Hopefully we look to exploit this matchup and NOT only look deep and to the sidelines on all passing plays. If you just watch the Week 17 matchup last year, Philly completely vacated the flats and short middle passing zones defensively.

IMO...Dunbar, Beasley & Witten all need to see the ball plenty (speaking of receivers outside of Murray). It seems that Dunbar comes in...makes a big play, and then we don't see him again. Beasley seems to be open often...but it's much the same as with Dunbar. Witten may be the most reliable target on the team...and I like the matchup with teams often electing to focus on Dez.

I concur ,Escobar and Hanna , they need to come in for blocking and take off and find soft spots, make those blitzing Eagles pay

Surprise players to shine tomorrow? Probably someone on defense because no one on offense would surprise me. To throw a couple of names out there I'll go with Wilcox or a DL say DLaw perhaps.

I'm actually calling a Harris punt or kick return for a TD. Harris hasn't been himself he seems due for something big. Plus the Eagles are due for being on the bad end of a bigspecial teams play or 2.

I also think Brandon Carr gets a pick for the same reason.
