One of the better games of the day happens later this afternoon when the Indianapolis Colts travel to take on the Dallas Cowboys. The game is scheduled for a 4:25 p.m. start time and it will be televised live on CBS. Currently the NFL Betting Odds for the game have the Cowboys favored at home to pick up the win.
This should be a good one. Andrew Luck and the high-scoring Colts head to Dallas looking to knock off the Cowboys, with Tony Romo aiming for his team to make the playoffs. The Cowboys currently sit in the third seed in the NFC and if they win this game, they're in the playoffs guaranteed.
Dallas has been perfect on the road this season, winning all seven games away from Jerry's World. The Cowboys have been hit or miss in their own stadium with their 3-4 record and taking on an Indianapolis team that has already won the AFC South and should be locked into that No. 3 seed for the playoffs.
Luck and the Colts rank tops in the league in passing yardage per game this season at just under 311 per contest. Taking advantage of a Cowboys pass defense that has been average at best this season will keep the Colts in this one and give them an advantage. Indy runs the ball because they have to, but they're pretty decent at it, ranking 17th in the league. Offensively, Indianapolis should be just fine in this one.
Dallas will score points as well. The Cowboys could be without DeMarco Murray, the NFL's leading rusher, who had surgery on his hand this week. If he does play Murray still might not have the major impact he would if he was at 100 percent.
The Colts come in having won four straight overall while Dallas has won four of their last five overall. Both of these clubs are really playing well and it should come down to a defensive stop or turnover. Indy has gone 4-2 on the road this season and because Dallas has underachieved at home this season, we'll take the Colts to pull the upset here.
