Can Cowboys Continue Dominance on the Road?
The Cowboys have been at home for about a month now, and they will be on the road for the next two games.
It starts with Buffalo on Sunday, a game that is going to be a bit chilly and not perfect weather by any means.
If Dallas wants to make a believer out of most people, go on the road and beat a Bills team that is trending up.
Everyone likes to think Josh Allen and Buffalo could make noise if they make the playoffs.
The Bills beat Patrick Mahomes last week, so they have a lot of confidence going into this matchup.
The Dallas offense at home averages over 30 points a game, while on the road outside of the Eagles game is only putting up about 17 per game.
Underdog Mentality
The Cowboys are the hottest team in football right now, yet even on the road against a 7-6 football team are underdogs.
If I were Mike McCarthy I would have brought that up this week in practice or before the game started.
Nobody believes in a 10-3 team that hasn’t lost in over a month.
They won a close back-and-forth game against Seattle, one that they needed to experience, and blew out the four other teams.
This game will be a bit colder and more uncomfortable, but if Dak Prescott can play like he has over the last eight games, the Cowboys have a great chance to win this football game.
Win the Turnover Battle
The defense forced three fumbles last week against the Eagles.
They are about to play the quarterback who currently leads the league in turnovers with 17.
Josh Allen has 14 interceptions and three fumbles.
The Cowboys’ defense has taken the football away 21 times this season. It is what they do best.
Force Allen to get rid of the ball quickly with the pass rush and win the turnover battle.
If they win the turnover battle, they will win the football game.
I think this football game comes down to the 4th quarter and we will see if Prescott can win them the football game like he did against Seattle.
The defense will do a good enough job on Allen and Stephon Diggs to give the offense a chance to win the game.
It is tough for me to pick against the Cowboys right now.
Dallas wins this football late into the second half 26-24.
I really don’t want to hear how everyone is going to feel if they don’t win this game on the road.
Please show up, Dallas.
