It’s time for Week 17 in the NFL and playoff races are getting significantly tighter. The Cowboys are (11-4) trying to make a late push for the number one seed in the NFC. Dak Prescott has his team in the right position to win out but they will need to play the Titans in what could be a trap game. The Titans (7-8) will be without Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry for tonight’s game against the Cowboys. Even if the Titans lose tonight they will have a showdown next week against the Jacksonville Jaguars for the AFC South Division.
The Cowboys have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL this season. The season started out shaky when Dak got hurt but since he’s been back the Cowboys have been one of the highest-scoring teams. Dak has been able to get it done with his arm and even his legs. Dak has all his weapons at full strength as CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and Dalton Schultz will be busy tonight against a generous pass defense in Tennessee. We haven’t even gotten into the two-headed backfield of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. Both backs have been helping Dak Prescott as they continue to be the backbone of this offense. Zeke comes with the ground and pound and Pollard comes with the finesse and the receiving game as he can also run routes.
This Cowboys offense is dangerous and if they continue to get things going like this it can turn into a massive playoff run. The Cowboy’s defense has been swarming as of late as well and that’s because of Micah Parsons who has been playing like the defensive player of the year. This defense has been able to create a lot of turnovers and they will be looking to do that tonight against Malik Willis who’s inexperienced but still has a lot of learning to do. This Cowboys defense will be all over the rookie because they will be without Derrick Henry who’s basically their whole offense.
The Titans will try to make the best of the situation with all the injuries. It’s going to be tough for Willis but he will need to lean on Woods and Burks if he’s going to come close to getting a win tonight. The Titans need to just secure the ball and try to keep the Cowboys offense off the ground.
Score Prediction – Las Vegas Raiders 28, Los Angeles Rams 13
