Chiefs Eye Second Straight Win
The Kansas City Chiefs are targeting a second straight win. Kansas City is in third place in the AFC West, which many are not used to seeing. They are nearly out of contention in the division, considering they stand three games out of first place. They are one game out of a wildcard spot. The Chiefs lost a road meeting against the Bills to begin November and sustained a narrow 22-19 road defeat against the Broncos two weeks ago. Next, the Chiefs answered with a 23-20 overtime home win against the Colts last week, but did not cover the five-point spread. The Chiefs have covered the spread in two of their past five games.
Patrick Mahomes has been steady, recording 250 or more yards in all but two games. He amassed 352 yards in the win last week and has 2977 passing yards and an 18:7 TD to INT ratio on the season. Isaiah Pacheco has not played since October and is now cleared to play. Pacheco has 329 rushing yards. Kareem Hunt has stepped up in Pacheco’s absence. The 30-year-old RB contributed with 104 yards last week and has netted 457 rushing yards on the season.

Dallas Beats Eagles in Second Straight Win
The Dallas Cowboys are seeking their third straight win. Dallas appeared out of playoff contention after an ugly home loss against the Cardinals to begin this month, but has rebounded with huge wins. Dallas posted a dominating road win against the Raiders, followed by a huge 24-21 home win against the Eagles on Sunday in a clash that had the Cowboys marked as three-point dogs.

Prescott posted 354 yards last week and has delivered 2941 passing yards and a 23:7 TD to INT ratio. Dallas does not run a whole lot. Javonte Williams has been a beast, recording 76 or more rushing yards in all but three games. Williams has netted 896 rushing yards.
George Pickens is having the best season of his career. The 24-year-old WR has contributed with 100+ yards in three of his past six games, including 146 yards last week. Pickens is up to 1054 receiving yards. CeedDee Lamb is also a threat, reporting 632 yards. The Dallas offense amassed 473 total yards against the Eagles last week. They are up to an average of 387 yards per game.
The Cowboys' defense is a weakness, but it has been displaying improvement in the past few games. The unit contained a potent Philadelphia offense in the second half last week and gave up 339 total yards. The Cowboys are conceding an average of 377 yards per game. Safety Kenneth Murray Jr. leads the team with 68 tackles. The pass defense is among the worst, ranking 30th, while the rush defense stands 22nd.

Chiefs vs. Cowboys Pick
Spread Pick for Chiefs vs. Cowboys
- Kansas City Chiefs -3 (5 units)
The Kansas City Chiefs are confident after a win against a potent Colts team last week. They stand out of a playoff spot, and this veteran group does not want to miss the playoffs. The Chiefs have no margin for error and need this one. The Dallas Cowboys have won two in a row, but one of the wins was against the Raiders.
Furthermore, the Kansas City offense is going to thrive against a shaky defense. Mahomes and KC are averaging 257 passing yards, ranking them 2nd in the NFL. Mahomes will expose a weak secondary. The Cowboys are squandering an average of 252 passing yards per game, pegging them 30th in the NFL. Also, the Chiefs have the defense to contain this potent offense. Dallas will opt for the pass in 60% of its plays. The Chiefs have a stingy pass defense that is keeping opponents to just 195 passing yards per game.
Over/Under Pick for Chiefs vs. Cowboys
- Over 52 (5 units)
I expect a ton of scoring. Kansas City has averaged 22.5 points on the road. This is an offense that recorded nearly 500 yards against a good Colts defense last week. The Cowboys' defense is a weakness. They are pegged 29th in yards conceded and have squandered an average of 29 points in their five home games this season.
In addition, containing Prescott and the offense is a daunting task. Dallas is averaging 266 passing yards per game. The Chiefs gave up 31 points to the Jags and 28 to the Bills, all within their past three road games. Also, these squads have quick offenses. KC is first in the entire NFL in offensive plays per game, while Dallas is fifth. The over is a convincing 6-2 in the Cowboys' past eight games.
