Cowboys vs. Raiders game preview: 5 things to watch

The beauty of playing on Thanksgiving is if you lose the week prior you can look past it quickly. That’s what this Cowboys team will look to do Thursday as Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders roll into town coming off three straight tough losses themselves.

The one thing you can bet on when it comes to Thanksgiving is the fact the away team facing the Cowboys are going to come with their best shot every time. This is a national game on a major holiday, and the world will be watching. The Cowboys have their own issues they will need to clean up before Thursday so sleep walking shouldn’t be an issue, but the Cowboys will need to come ready to play to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time this season.
