Dallas Cowboys vs. Denver Broncos Prediction
I’m taking Dallas and the points in this one. I haven’t loved what I’ve seen from Denver despite this win streak, and in all honesty, it should probably be snapped if New York were able to successfully make extra points. The Cowboys are a dynamic offense that’s gotten healthy, and I think Denver’s offense could be in some trouble, even with how susceptible Dallas’ defense has been at times this year. I think Dallas is live in this game so I’ll take the points with the Cowboys in a game they could win outright.
