Sunday Night Football: Cowboys Host Colts as Double-Digit Favorites in Week 13 Clash
The Indianapolis Colts (4-7-1) face off against the Dallas Cowboys (8-3) in a Week 13 Sunday Night Football matchup at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys enter as 10.5-point favorites in this primetime contest.
The Colts are coming off a close loss to the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Their biggest challenge will be protecting quarterback Matt Ryan against the NFL's most productive pass rush. The Colts need to establish their running game and get creative with protection schemes to give Ryan time to operate.
The Cowboys' defense dominated in their Thanksgiving win over the Giants, particularly in containing Saquon Barkley and pressuring Daniel Jones. Offensively, Dallas is hitting their stride with Dak Prescott back, as he's developed strong chemistry with receivers CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.
Keys to Victory:
- Colts: Must establish the run game to reduce pressure on Ryan while disguising run plays effectively
- Cowboys: Maintain defensive discipline and avoid over-aggression despite being heavy favorites
The Cowboys' potent pass rush and balanced offense make them strong favorites, but the Colts will look to control the clock with their ground game to keep this one competitive.
