The Dallas Cowboys have been ravaged by injuries this year. Eleven weeks ago Cowboy fans were optimistic that the team had what it would take to lead the NFC East, but if it ends up happening it will be in a much different way. The crazy thing is that 11 weeks in, with a 3-7 record, the Cowboys are still not out of it. Each week it looks like a make or break game for Dallas and somehow each week still matters.Week 12 on Thanksgiving Day in the US looks like it could be the most important game of the season for both Dallas and Washington. The winner will move to 4-7 with the loser moving to 3-8. Someone in the NFC East will make it to the playoffs and Washington has the best chance. The team has already beaten Dallas and Philadelphia once this year. The Eagles have the hardest remaining schedule which means even though they look like the favorites, they will have to elevate the rest of their games.Andy Dalton is back for the Cowboys at QB which does help the Dallas crew a bit.

Best answer: You'll want to find a 4K model that can fill your vision comfortably without turning your head from side to side. You probably also want it to be great for watching your favorite shows when you're not playing, too.Built for next-gen: LG 55-inch 4K Smart OLED TV (From $1197 at Amazon)Bigger is not always better, neither is smallerThere's a tried and tested rule of thumb for buying a 4K television: measure your viewing distance in inches, then halve that number for the right TV size. This means if you normally sit 120-inches (10-feet) away from the screen you want to buy a 60-inch display. Most of us tend to go bigger, though, and we usually don't have too many complaints. This does become a real issue when you shrink the viewing distance down, especially when paired up with a PlayStation 5.Ideally, you want to be able to sit close enough to see all the action as it happens but not so close that you need to move your head from side to side to see the whole displa...

The Sonos Beam Smart TV sound bar has dropped to $299 at Amazon in both black and white.

The Beam is a sound bar and as such it pairs really well with a subwoofer if you need some chest-thumping bass with your sound. Lucky for you, the 3rd-generation Sonos Sub is being discounted for Black Friday as well. You can get it for $100 off its regular price at $599 or just get the 3.1 Surround Sound set that includes both the Sonos Beam and the Sonos Sub for $898, which is the discounted price you'd get for buying them individually.Did you get a fancy new 4K TV for Black Friday?

While saving money is nice, you also don't want to waste it on a cheap knockoff.We've all been there. You're mindlessly scrolling through Amazon and you're forced to do a double-take at a shockingly low price tag on a smartwatch. This is especially true during Black Friday when Amazon is constantly tempting you with all of those limited time deals that will be gone before you know it.It's safe to say that everyone is a fan of a good deal, but it's important to remember that a good deal doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a good value.

Caught between killer UK deals for the Galaxy S20 FE and OnePlus 8 Pro, Google's flagship is a tough sell.The Google Pixel 5 is a great phone. In fact, there's one in my pocket right now. But if you're shopping for a new handset this Black Friday in the UK, you should probably steer clear of Google's flagship right now. That's because the Pixel 5, which stands at its undiscounted UK price of £599, has some serious competition from two of the best Android phones out there.Right now, both the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G and OnePlus 8 Pro have been discounted to £599, makaing them the same price as Google's offering. The problem for the Pixel? Both Samsung and OnePlus can boast faster processors, smoother 120Hz refresh rates and more versatile camera systems. They're both just higher-end phones than the Pixel.The Pixel 5 unfortunately isn't among the new Google phones discounted for Black Friday, unlike the Pixel 4 (cut to £319) and Pixel 4a 5G (£449).

Black Friday is the best time to pick up external storage drives.

Both the Houston Texans and the Detroit Lions are playing below average football this year as they match up in week 12 on Thanksgiving Day in the US. The Texans are a bit worse for the wear as they come in at 3-7. The team did just best the Patriots, but it's not quite the accomplishment it would have been prior to the 2020 season. The Texans are hoping to regain Laremy Tunsil at left tackle after being out with an illness. Roderick Johnson filled in for Tunsil and could do so again if he doesn't return in time.Detroit is faring only slightly better at 4-6 but still sits at the bottom of the NFC North division with the Bears and Packers leading the group. If you're a betting person, the Texans are favored slightly, but that could shift as the game draws close.All three Thanksgiving Day football games seem to be evenly matched, just in different ways. This first game will likely be close with less sloppiness than than the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Football game that follows it...

Best answer: No, the PS5 Digital Edition cannot play discs of any kind since it doesn't have a disc drive. If you want to use discs with your PS5, you'll need to get the regular console that has a disc drive and supports disc-based media.Make sure you buy the right one: PS5 (See at Amazon)What is the PS5 Digital Edition?Like its name suggests, the PS5 Digital Edition is a PS5 model that cannot play disc-based media of any kind since it completely lacks a disc drive. Instead, any games you'd like to play will need to be downloaded directly to its solid-state drive (SSD) for storage. This also means it won't be able to play any 4K Blu-ray discs or DVDs.Other than the removal of its disc drive, Sony's Jim Ryan said that both consoles are identical in an interview with CNET. As you saw, there is a small difference in the form factor of the two consoles. I'm sure you also observed, the basic design aesthetic is consistent between them.
