Dallas Cowboys Preview: How the Cowboys can win on Sunday
Dallas has an electric offense, and the only problem is that they’ll be missing Amari Cooper. Without Cooper in the lineup, a portion of their offense will suffer. Still, they’ll have Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot to rely on. Considering the Cowboys have the fourth-best rushing offense, they’ll likely get a lot of work out of Elliot. The Chiefs also have one of the worst rushing defenses.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Cowboys have performed great this season. On average, the Cowboys allow only 21.7 points per game. They also possess the league’s highest-scoring offense. Dallas averages over ten more points per game than their opponent on average. If they can perform the same way against the Chiefs, Dallas could win this game on Sunday.
Kansas City Chiefs Preview: Keys to victory for the Chiefs
Kansas City gets the benefit of being at home in this game, where they’re 3-2 this season. Unfortunately, the Chiefs haven’t done very well against the spread when playing at home. Still, their offense has been getting much better over the last three games. Most recently, they took down the Las Vegas Raiders, 41-14. So, how can they find a way to beat the Cowboys?
For starters, they’ll need to perform much better in the secondary. This is a problem that they’ve dealt with all season, allowing 258.60 passing yards per game. If they make that mistake again, the Cowboys will steal this game from them. The Chiefs have a chance to take over the AFC West, but the Cowboys won’t make it easy. It’ll take a team effort to win this one on Sunday.
