1. The Cowboys Train Keeps Chugging Along

We’ve seen how this Cowboys offense can come out of the gate slow this season, which has allowed opponents to stay in games. This week, against one of the worst defenses in the league, I don’t believe Dallas will have that same problem. Dak Prescott and company will have the ability to throw the football against the 13th-ranked pass defense, thanks to their focus on trying to stop the Cowboys’ dynamic running back duo.

This paragraph from @SportsSturm about the Cowboys offense since Dak Prescott returned to the lineup is striking.

The offensive rankings without him, as compared to now:

3rd downs: 29th to 1st
Points: 23rd to 1st
Points per drive: 25th to 1st

Once Prescott starts hitting his receivers, then Kellen Moore can switch up and start running the ball against the 32nd-ranked run defense.

There is no reason this offense shouldn’t be able to drop at least 40 points on the Texans this Sunday.

Game Prediction: 523 Total yards, 308 yards passing, 215 rushing yards
