PICK: I’m going to try Dallas here. The Cowboys wrecked an overmatched Falcons team on both sides of the ball their last time out. Dallas had 431 total yards with 6.0 yards per play and 22 first downs. On defense the Cowboys forced three turnovers and allowed just 214 yards with 1-of-11 on third-down tries.
As for Kansas City, they’re coming off a strong performance themselves with 516 total yards versus the Raiders. This will be a tougher test, though. I can see this game tight the whole way and being decided by a point or two. Should be a good one.
