The Dallas Cowboys (10-3) are one of the hottest teams in the NFL, as they are on a five-game winning streak, while the Buffalo Bills (7-6) are scrambling to earn a playoff spot, having lost three of their past four games.
So why are Josh Allen & Co. favored to win over Dak Prescott and friends?

Chris Broussard said on “First Things First” that Buffalo has more incentive to win Sunday.
“They’re desperate, their season’s on the line,” Broussard said. “Dallas is fat and happy, right, coming off the big win. Everybody’s praising them; you beat Philadelphia, you didn’t just beat them, you pounded ‘em. So they are ripe for a letdown. … I don’t think they’re being disrespected at all. Buffalo can get this victory.”
