While the Cowboys&#8217; playoff hopes remain on life support, the team is trending in the right direction over the course of the last two weeks.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">We&#8217;ll have to see if that can continue as the team aims to deliver a holiday miracle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\"><strong>MORE:<\/strong>\u00a0ESPN host makes bold prediction for Dallas Cowboys-Chiefs Thanksgiving game<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-12\">Dallas Cowboys vs Kansas City Chiefs TV &amp; viewing info<\/h2>\n<figure><figcaption>Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott gestures on the line of scrimmage against the Kansas City Chiefs | Denny Medley-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\"><strong>Date<\/strong>: Thursday, November 27<br \/>\n<strong>Start Time<\/strong>: 4:30 p.m. ET<br \/>\n<strong>Location<\/strong>: Arlington, Texas<br \/>\n<strong>Venue<\/strong>: AT&amp;T Stadium<br \/>\n<strong>TV Channel:<\/strong>\u00a0CBS<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\"><strong>Betting Odds<\/strong>: Cowboys -3.5 |\u00a0<strong>O\/U:<\/strong>\u00a051.5<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\"><em><strong>Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
