Las Vegas Raiders: Ranking the four 2021 nationally televised games

No. 3: Thanksgiving Day at the Dallas Cowboys (Thanksgiving Day)

Playing on Thanksgiving Day, the entire country is going to get a chance to see how far the Silver and Black have come against the Dallas Cowboys. At this point in the season, we will know whether or not the Raiders 2021 campaign has gone off the rails, but this could end up being a very important game.

The Thanksgiving Day matchup with Dallas is the Week 12 matchup in the 2021 season, and the Raiders will be coming off two home games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals. This game should be a winnable one for the Silver and Black, but a healthy Dak Prescott is going to be hard to beat.

Dallas has done a nice job revamping their roster this offseason, and inking Prescott to a long-term deal was certainly the right move. Based on the schedule, the Raiders should be making a playoff push at this point in the season, and this matchup will kick off four road games in their last seven contests.
