Bills defeating Cowboys on Thanksgiving could shift national perception

‘“Any time you win on national television, it’s that much better,” linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said, “because you’re showcased in front of the entire league. Obviously, those games mean a lot, even more so when you think about perception of the Buffalo Bills and who we are and what we do. You showcase well in those opportunities, you start to shift the national media standpoint a little bit.”’

Bills have chance to make biggest statement yet vs. Cowboys

‘Oddsmakers have the Cowboys as a fairly significant favorite even though they have a 6-5 record and the Bills are 8-3. The common view around the country is that the Bills are a nice story, an interesting club on the rise with a highly impressive defense and a young quarterback finding his way in a fast-paced offense.’

Betting trends and pick for Bills-Cowboys on Thanksgiving

‘Dallas’ 31-23 win as a seven-point favorite against Washington on Thanksgiving Day last year snapped a 0-7 against the spread Turkey Day run for the Cowboys. Dallas is 0-4 straight up against winning teams this season, but the Cowboys win but don’t cover the seven points.’

Bills TV notes: CBS’ Eagle, Fouts to work Buffalo-Baltimore game that deserves prime time

‘The NBC Sunday Night Football game Dec. 8 features the 9-2 Seattle Seahawks and MVP candidate Russell Wilson versus the disappointing 6-5 Los Angeles Rams, who play in the No. 2 market in the country. The most attractive of the 4:25 p.m. games on CBS features the Kansas City Chiefs with quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and Tom Brady. Those games aren’t going to be moved.’

Bad time for Bills to face Cowboys

‘Dallas is first in the NFL in average offensive yards (433) and passing yards (304) per game and second in third-down conversions (49 percent). The Cowboys are sixth in points scored per game (27), in points allowed (19), total yards surrendered (319) and opponents passing yards (214).’

How Bills defense plans to stop Dak Prescott, No. 1-ranked Cowboys offense

‘“Obviously he’s the general of that offense. He makes that offense go,” Hyde said. “When they got the run game going and they can get the play action, drop back game going, they’re hard to beat. Obviously (our focus is on) stopping the run, making them one dimensional and putting them in passing situations on third and long. (Even then) They’re still pretty good at that because Dak’s an elite quarterback in this league. It’s going to be a challenge for us.”’
