Cowboys vs. Giants Week 13 showdown: Prediction for Dallas Thanksgiving tilt image

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to earn their second straight win on Thursday afternoon against the New York Giants.

Dallas faced off against the Washington Commanders last week and came away with a surprising upset. The Cowboys took down the Commanders by a score of 34 to 26, with Cooper Rush logging 247 passing yards and two touchdowns. Rico Dowdle also chipped in 86 yards on the ground.

The Giants are in an interesting spot after cutting ties with former franchise quarterback Daniel Jones this past week. New York is 2-9 on the season and has lost six straight games.

Dallas and New York will face off on Thursday afternoon in a Thanksgiving clash at AT&T Stadium with kick-off scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET.

Here's a prediction for the Cowboys-Giants Thanksgiving showdown:

Dallas - 24 New York - 12

Dallas is 4-7 on the season and has a good chance to win its fifth game of the season on Thursday afternoon. Rush dealt with a knee injury throughout the week, but it seems like he will be under center for the team on Thursday. It seems like Drew Lock will be under center for the Giants with Tommy DeVito also dealing with an injury.

Nothing is confirmed yet and both teams have question marks at quarterback. But while this is the case, the Cowboys have more talent throughout the roster and should be able to come out on top.
