1. Dak Prescott will play and throw 35+ passes

The Cowboys did a great job keeping Prescott on the sidelines last week, but they’ll be unable to keep him off the field for two weeks in a row. Prescott will push the franchise to play if there’s any possibility of him getting on the field against Denver.

The only way Dallas will allow Prescott to play is if he’s healthy enough to be an effective signal-caller. The Cowboys won’t let him play if he’s not going to be given the green light to throw the ball frequently.

The Broncos’ defense will work hard to manufacture pressure on Prescott even after shipping Von Miller off to Los Angeles. The challenge will be doing that while also stopping Dallas from grinding their defense down with their physical run game.

The end result will be Prescott throwing the ball at least 35 times to get his team another important victory. He may not push the ball as deep as he normally likes to do, but he’s still going to get a large number of passes in this game. Playing an efficient game will be crucial for Prescott’s hopes of keeping his team’s win streak alive.
