Week 12 Thanksgiving Game: Carolina Panthers (10-0) @ Dallas Cowboys (3-7)

[Jr.]

Carolina is coming off their most dominating win of the season, 44-17 over Washington. Cam threw 5 TDs, 4 in the first half.

Dallas is coming off of a road win in Romo's first game back from injury. They're now 3-0 with Romo and 0-7 without him. He makes such a difference that Dallas actually opened as a 1 point favorite over the undefeated Panthers.

Tons of storylines here with Greg Hardy facing his old team, Dez vs. Josh Norman, the Dallas run game vs the Carolina run D, Cam going for history with his legs, Carolina trying to move to 11-0.

I hope opening as underdogs has the team fired up and extremely focused. Even Rivera commented that he thought it was disrespectful, so they noticed it.

Charles Johnson was activated yesterday and is expected to play, possibly start. Andrew Norwell looks like he might be ready to return, which would be huge for the run game.

All that said, it's a road game on a very short week, so if the Panthers are going to lose a game, it's probably going to be this one. I think Vegas did them a favor, however, and gave them some extra motivation. I say Carolina takes it 31-27.

Tony Romo says he prepared in advance as he expected to play this game.

I hope Carolina feels rested after Sunday as it was a fairly easy game. I think this will be a tough one for us.

This will be an interesting one as the Carolina D is quite good. Quite honestly this is one of those games that feels like a test for both squads. Dallas needs to find out if they can keep the momentum going and if Tony Romo is truly going to give them the chance they need to win the division while Carolina needs to prove to a skeptical national audience that they're for real.

I'm very intrigued to see how this one goes.

I'm really looking forward to this game. Dallas may have a chance!

For some strange reason, I have Dallas pulling this one out.

Same. In fact, I think there will be no more undefeated teams after Week 12 is over.

Here's an interesting factoid: In the last 15 home games the Cowboys are 5-10.

The all-blue looks slightly better on the field, than in the picture.
