How to watch Chiefs vs. Cowboys today: Time, TV channel for Week 13

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium this afternoon in what promises to be an epic Thanksgiving Day showdown.

While neither team is contending for the No. 1 seed in its division, both Kansas City and Dallas will enter today's game after impressive wins over the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles, respectively.

Injuries and a short week of preparation could make this Week 13 matchup the most intriguing contest on the NFL's Thanksgiving schedule.

Here's how to watch the Chiefs' holiday tilt against the Cowboys, including time, TV schedule, and streaming information:

Chiefs vs. Cowboys prediction

Chiefs 28, Cowboys 17: Thursday's matchup will likely decide Kansas City's fate for the remainder of the 2025 season.

The Chiefs will need to reintroduce the ground game this week if they want to earn their seventh win of the year. Dallas' front seven is among the best in the league, but the addition of running back Dameon Pierce, as well as the return of running back Isiah Pacheco, should lighten the load for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Kansas City's defense was, at best, lackadaisical for most of last week's win against the Indianapolis Colts. Only after defensive lineman Chris Jones took it upon himself to rally the troops in the fourth quarter did the Chiefs' defense finally have an impact. If the reigning AFC champions want a chance to take down quarterback Dak Prescott, a performance like last week is not an option.
