Expert Predictions for Dak Prescott vs Patrick Mahomes – The Athletic

Speaking of chiefs, it seems any curses affecting the offense have been lifted. The Kansas City boat raced the Raiders 41-14 in Las Vegas, outpacing 516 yards at 6.8 per play. Patrick Mahomes come back to life with 406 yards passed, and five touchdowns like Travis Kelce and Darrel Williams each received more than 100 yards while Tireek Hill catch a pair of touchdowns. Kansas City took first place in the AFC West with the win. Let’s say the Sunday light show isn’t just a one-off show. The opening captain was a 2.5-point favorite against the Cowboys, even though they only had a 3-7 margin of difference.

So do you think the Cowboys were disappointed after being shut down by Denver for 3/4? Dallas offense erupted to a 43-3 win over the Falcons for the biggest winning streak around the league last week. Dak Prescott throws 296 yards and makes a total of three hits (one dash), while Ezekiel Elliott ran two more points as Dallas won more than 37 minutes of possession. The defense was just as good, holding Atlanta to 214 yards and forcing three transfers, including a blocked ball recovered in the final area. If you’re thinking about playing totals, Dallas and Kansas City haven’t played well against each other lately, but both comfortably scored over 40 points last week.
