This is the yardstick game that Dak will be judged by in the eye of the hardcore fan. If he wants to get to the next level, if he wants to prove that he’s worth the $60 million price tag, If he wants to be recognized as a top tier QB in this league, these are the games he has to win. That, or at least match Mahomes and hope our defense holds up. Because in terms of offensive talent, this game is a dead heat. This is a playoff game for both teams realistically.
The Chiefs defense is the key to this contest. Kansas City is 6-1 when allowing 20 or fewer points, versus a 0-4 mark when giving up more than 20 points. Dallas is 0-3 when scoring 20 or fewer points, but the Cowboys have scored more than 20 points on eight occasions. Dallas has shown it can rack up that caliber of points against top defenses. That should be the case here and it is why I’m taking Dallas for the upset outright win.
