Going home to Dallas to face the Buccaneers (5-9) is just what the Cowboys need. A loss, combined with a win by Philadelphia or Washington — or worse, both — could plunge Dallas into chaos. But when he replaced an injured Wentz in the lineup last week, and proceeded to beat the 11-win Rams, plenty of his teammates seemed to connect the dots. Expecting a letdown from the Texans similar to the one Los Angeles delivered last week seems highly unlikely. Pick: Texans +2.5
