Finally a healthy team as the Cowboys head towards the end of the regular season with their eyes on the postseason. In addition to the stellar defenses, the Dallas offense started firing on all cylinders as Dak came back and was completely healthy. In two of the last three games, they outscored their opponents by more than 17.5 points. While Dak can tie in with CeeDee Lamb, a healthy Michael Gallup or Dalton Schultz, Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard’s one-two punch-led running game keeps the defenses guessing. Cowboys average 27.8 points per game (third) and 5.6 yards per game. Houston’s passing defense has been good, allowing only 209 passing yards per game this year, but his running defense has been one of the worst in the league, allowing him to be the league lead at 169 yards per game. In total, Houston allows 23.9 points per game (23rd). Dallas should be able to fully control this game.
With a wide spread of points, it’s worth considering that Dallas can rest their top five if they jump to an early lead. Scoring 47 points in Indianapolis on Sunday night, the Cowboys beat the starting players for the fourth quarter.
