The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up to face off against the Washington Commanders on Thanksgiving Thursday, and they are looking to continue their dominance at home. The Cowboys are in possession of the NFL’s longest active home winning streak at 12 and have won their four home games this season by a combined score of 160-50. They lead the league in home scoring offense, home point differential, and home time of possession.
If the Cowboys secure another home win by 20 or more points on Thursday, they would make NFL history as the first team to win its first five home contests of a season by that margin. The Commanders, on the other hand, have a challenging task ahead of them, facing off against a strong Cowboys defense and a potent offense led by quarterback Dak Prescott. The Commanders have struggled defensively, allowing 27.7 points per game, while the Cowboys possess the NFL’s No. 2 scoring offense, averaging 30.2 points per game.
In terms of individual performances, Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland has been a standout player, tying the NFL single-season record for interception return touchdowns with his fourth of 2023. On the offensive side, wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been playing the best ball of his career and is on pace to break franchise records.
The game is expected to heavily favor the Cowboys, with statistics and analytics shining in their favor. Add in the strong performances of rookie kicker Brandon Aubrey and Pro Bowl punter Bryan Anger, and it looks like the Commanders will have their work cut out for them.
The Cowboys are looking towards a strong victory, with a predicted final score of Cowboys 41, Commanders 16. With the game being hosted at AT&T Stadium, it seems the Cowboys are poised to continue their impressive home winning streak.
