PREDICTION
The Redskins haven't won on Thanksgiving Day since George Allen led them to victory in Detroit. Washington's defense is riddled with injuries with linebacker London Fletcher a question mark. Does the Redskins offense have enough to outscore Tony Romo and the Cowboys? Pierre Garcon made a quiet return last week and is uncertain for Dallas and now tight end Logan Paulsen is banged up. A win by the Redskins moves them into a second place tie with the Cowboys in the NFC East, while a loss would be damaging to any post season hopes. We expect the 'Skins to score often, but the defense- especially the secondary- just doesn't have enough to slow Dallas.
