ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith predicts Cowboys Upset Over Chiefs on thanksgiving
In a bold forecast, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith is picking the Dallas Cowboys to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs when the two teams clash on Thanksgiving Day. Smith made the prediction during a recent segment on First Take, citing the Cowboys’ dominant recent form adn the Chiefs’ perceived vulnerabilities.
The nationally televised game carries important weight for both franchises. A Cowboys victory would not only strengthen their position as NFC contenders but also deliver a statement win against the reigning Super Bowl champions. For Kansas City, a loss could raise questions about their ability to maintain dominance in a competitive AFC. Smith’s prediction underscores the growing belief that the Cowboys, currently leading the NFC East, are a legitimate threat to reach Super Bowl LVIII.
“I’m telling you right now, the dallas Cowboys are going to win that game,” Smith declared on First Take. “They are playing lights out, their defense is ferocious, and Dak Prescott is playing the best football of his career. The Chiefs are good, don’t get me wrong, but they haven’t been as dominant this year, and I see the Cowboys going into Arrowhead and pulling off the upset.”
The Cowboys are coming off a decisive victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, improving their record to 9-3 and solidifying their lead in the NFC East. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are 8-3 and lead the AFC West, but have shown occasional inconsistencies throughout the season. The Thanksgiving matchup is set for 4:30 PM EST at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
