## Key points

- Cowboys are tipped to beat the Colts.
- The Colts’ defence has allowed 7.4 yards per pass attempt.
- The article backs CeeDee Lamb over 79.5 receiving yards.

## Summary

The Dallas Cowboys visit the Indianapolis Colts, with the article predicting a Cowboys win after Indianapolis’ heavy defeat by Jacksonville last week. It argues the result matters for Dallas, which is described as urgently needing a victory, while the Colts’ poor defensive form and possible trade discussions around Jonathan Taylor could leave them at a disadvantage.

The Cowboys are listed as 5.5-point favourites. The Colts are allowing 7.4 yards per pass attempt, the fourth-highest figure in the league, and rank 27th in defensive DVOA; the article also cites injuries to Sauce Gardner and the trade of DeForest Buckner. Its suggested bets are Cowboys to win and CeeDee Lamb to exceed 79.5 receiving yards at -116.
