The chalk: Dallas Cowboys
Who they play: Home vs. Houston Texans – 1 p.m. (FOX)
Dallas is a 16-point favorite. While I don’t expect the Cowboys to cover this is spread, it doesn’t matter when making a survivor pick. All I care about is a victory, which should be easy for Dallas on Sunday.
QB Dak Prescott has not been playing great football. Even in a 54-19 blowout of the Colts last week, Prescott only managed 170 yards passing. But the run game and defense are what will carry Dallas in this game.
RBs Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard have come on strong as of late and the defense led by LB Micah Parsons has been dominant.
Houston is not just limping to the end. It’s outright stumping for the No. 1 overall pick, which the Texans can all but secure with a loss here. RB Dameon Pierce has had a wonderful rookie season. But the rest of the team has done nothing to help him or coach Lovie Smith. After being benched, QB Davis Mills is back as the starter after Kyle Allen struggled.
There is not much to say about this game other then take Dallas in your survivor pool. Dallas is by far my favorite play this week.

Off the board: Buffalo Bills
Who they play: Home vs. New York Jets – 1 p.m. (CBS)
The Jets beat the Bills 20-17 in their last meeting. That game was not only at home, but it was also against an injured QB Josh Allen, who was having trouble throwing.
Since then, the Bills and Allen have gotten healthy. They have also regained the No. 1 seed in the AFC. This will become extremely important in the playoffs and Buffalo does not want to lose this.
The Jets are better then many expected them to be this season. With 7 wins entering this game, New York is currently in the playoffs as the final team. QB Mike White has given this team life. But this game comes in a difficult spot for the Jets.
The Bills are final returning home after a snowstorm forced their last home game to be relocated to Detroit. The Bills will be excited and so will the fans. The energy will be immense in Buffalo, and this leads me to loving the Bills in this spot. Look for the Bills to roll in this divisional game.
