ANDREW’S FREE COWBOYS VS BILLS PREDICTION 

I’ll probably just stay with the Cowboys. This will be an interesting matchup, though. Dallas is rolling along quite well these days. During this five-game win streak, the Cowboys have hit 33 or more points in every outing while allowing 17 or fewer points in four of them. In their latest win over the Eagles, Dallas again flexed their offensive muscle on 394 total yards (256 passing) and 24 first downs. 

As for Buffalo, they’re coming off a gritty (and controversial) late win over the Chiefs for their second victory in three games. The Bills will have to step on the gas in order to keep up on the scoreboard here, and I don’t think they’ve got the legs to power out a cover/win on Dallas. It’ll be a fun one to watch, though.
