Dallas vs Kansas City: Prediction for Week 13

Dallas often wins its Thanksgiving matchups, but the team has its toughest matchup in quite some time. Dallas has the home-field advantage and the experience of playing on Thanksgiving every year. As such, expect Dallas to win a close shootout by a score of 35-31.

With his back against the wall, Patrick Mahomes will dominate a struggling Dallas defense. However, drops by receivers in a few key moments will decide the contest. Don't expect much action from either running back except at the goal line.
