Here we are Thanksgiving week and the Dallas Cowboys season is already over. Sitting at 4-and-7, Dallas will take on the New York Giants, hard to believe, but they are having a worse year than Dallas in the NFC East.
Fresh off a upset of the Washington Commanders as double-digit underdogs, with a wild 4th quarter, it was a game that I honestly thought Dallas would lose after Terry scored that touchdown.
With that said, what is really now at stake for the Cowboys tomorrow?

Betting Facts
The Giants are 3-8 against the spread this season, while failing to cover the spread in their last five games. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are only 3-and-8 against the spread this season.
Dallas is 7-and-4 to the over in 2024, while winning the last 15 out of 15 matchups against New York.
Each of the Cowboys’ last 5 home games against the Giants have gone over the Total.
Cooper Rush improved to 6-3 both straight-up and ATS as a starter with the win over Washington this past Sunday.
What Is At Stake
Let’s be honest with ourselves here, do you want the 2024 Dallas Cowboys to win another pointless game to worsen their draft stock?
This team is not going to sniff the NFC East title because of the Eagles, and they are not even going to be close to making the playoffs. Yet with another win tomorrow, they are going to be 5-and-7, moving them even further down the draft board.
They currently have the 11th pick in the draft, but if they would have lost against Washington, who I think is overrated nonetheless, they would have been at 7 with a chance to make the top 5.
The Giants might be the worst team in football, and I counted this game as a win when Dak Prescott was lost for the season, but it is the fact that they are going to slide even further down the draft board with major concerns heading into 2025.
Rest Of Season
Please tell me what winning this game and last week does?
We know where this team is headed, and they need a top playmaker in this year’s draft to give them a chance.
The one thing I am worried about is that Jerry Jones will bring Mike McCarthy back because of all the injuries that this team has had, giving him a pass. He has no deal in place, and Jerry knows he will do what he says.
Besides, what’s the better option? Finding an assistant coach and hoping he turns into Sean McVay and not Ben McAdoo?
A retread like Doug Pederson? Deion Sanders is a fun idea, but not every college coach makes it on the NFL level.
Jerry Jones also noted yesterday that he would not be against bringing Mike McCarthy back, another move by him which is the reason why none of us can’t stand the way he does business.
According to him, it’s not “crazy” at all for him to consider bringing back McCarthy on a new deal.
“I don’t think that’s crazy at all,” Jones said about re-signing McCarthy to a new contract. “This is a Super Bowl-winning coach. Mike McCarthy has been there and done that. He has great ideas. We got a lot of football left.”
This is going to be a long next few months to finish this season and see what Jerry does with this coaching staff/roster.
Happy Thanksgiving!
