1. The Cowboys will pick off Taylor Heinecke at least three times

Heinecke managed to engineer an impressive game-winning drive last week in Las Vegas, but he also had some really ugly throws that the Raiders were unable to take advantage of in the second half. He’s not going to get away with those errant tosses against the Cowboys’ defense on Sunday.

Instead, look for Dallas to notch at least three big interceptions in this bitter rivalry game. Trevon Diggs is a solid bet to get at least one of them due to his ball skills in the secondary, but he’s going to get some help from his teammates.

Damontae Kazee will be looking to get a pick for the second consecutive week. Keanu Neal is another guy who could pick Heinecke off from his hybrid linebacker spot. In the end, Dan Quinn and his defensive coaching staff don’t care who gets the turnovers. They just want to make sure they’re forced to give the team’s offense short fields to work with.

The difference in turnovers will be the biggest reason why the Cowboys vanquish Washington with relative ease this week. Heinecke’s dream season is set to turn into a nightmare against Dallas.
