Dallas Cowboys @ Indianapolis Colts, 1:00 PM ET
The Dallas Cowboys blew a second-half lead to the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 8 and lost in overtime. This defense is simply dreadful. It might actually not get easier, either, as they travel to face the Indianapolis Colts, and while the Colts are spiraling, they do have some nice talent on offense and might want to erase their ugly Week 8 showing against Jacksonville.
With two offenses that are able to put up points, this could turn into a bit of a shootout. The Cowboys should be able to win this one, though, as they have more at stake and have better players at most positions.
A win over Indy would not necessarily remove the concerns we have with their defense, but it would at least get this team back on track for the time being. The Cowboys win by a point.
Prediction: Cowboys win 28-27

New York Jets @ Kansas City Chiefs, 1:00 PM ET
The Kansas City Chiefs led by 11 points over the Denver Broncos in Week 8 in the fourth quarter and lost, becoming the next victims of Denver's late-game magic. I can only imagine how angry the Chiefs are going to be playing this week, as they essentially squadered what would have turned into a near-guarantee for the AFC West title this year.
The New York Jets are a bad team, but this offense can put some points on the board. Going into Arrowhead is going to be a huge task, and the Jets just do not have the coaching or makeup to hand the Chiefs a third loss in a row. This game might be a lot closer to being a get-right game for the Chiefs than anything.
