The Indianapolis Colts (4-7-1) are preparing to enter Jerry’s World in a Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys (8-3).
This prime-time game features two teams heading in different directions. The Colts have lost five of their last six and are working toward a top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL draft. The Cowboys have won four of their last five since Dak Prescott’s return.
While Vegas has the Colts as the biggest underdogs of the week, here’s how the experts see this game shaking out:

Over at Tallysight, 99% of the experts are siding with the Cowboys to take this game. It’s not surprising at all, though. This is a matchup between one of the best teams in the NFL and one of the worst.
While the Colts defense has been a bright spot this season, the Cowboys offense is an extremely fine-tuned unit that has weapons at nearly every position. With the Colts potentially being without two starting cornerbacks, it could get ugly.
Meanwhile, the offense will face one of it’s most difficult challenges throughout the entire season. Led by Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons, the Cowboys defense is extremely stout against the pass, which is terrible news considering the Colts have one of the worst passing attacks in the NFL.
How this game didn’t get flexed out of prime time is a mystery, because logic states this game won’t be fun to watch as a Colts fan.
