The red-hot Dallas Cowboys are riding a five-game winning streak into their Week 15 road date with the Buffalo Bills.
Dallas just finished off the Philadelphia Eagles in blowout fashion, taking first place in the NFC East in the process. Dak Prescott is the NFL MVP favorite. The ‘Boys offense looks to be unstoppable.
On the other side sits a Bills team that is battling for its playoff lives at 7-6. Josh Allen and Co. just defeated the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs on the road last week to gain some momentum heading into this one.
Below, we provide four bold predictions for what promises ot be one of the most hotly-contested affairs on the Week 15 NFL schedule.

Micah Parsons drops Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen for two sacks
Allen has only been sacked 18 times in 13 games this season. Led by underrated left tackle Dion Dawkins, the Bills’ offensive line continues to do its thing in front of the stud quarterback. Though, a lot of that also has to do with just how mobile Allen is (374 rushing yards, 10 touchdowns on the season).
It’s going to be a completely different game going up against Micah Parsons come Sunday afternoon. In addition to his 27 QB hits and 12.5 sacks, Parsons has pressured quarterbacks a combined 34 times in 11 games. Allen could be his own enemy here, stepping right into the hands of Parsons while trying to evade pressure. After all, he has fumbled the ball 17 times since the start of last season. Keep that in mind heading into this awesome Week 15 matchup.
Dallas Cowboys star Dak Prescott throws rare pick-six
Let’s put into perspective Prescott’s turnaround from a statistical perspective since Dallas’ ugly 42-10 loss to San Francisco back in Week 5. Including that game, he had thrown 15 touchdowns over a 12-start span dating back to the 2022 season. Prescott has been absolutely elite in the eight games since.
| Comp % | Yards | TD | INT | QB Rating |
| .693 | 2,444 | 23 | 2 | 118.5 |
There is a reason why Prescott has overtaken Brock Purdy as the favorite to win the NFL MVP this season. He’s simply been special.
That’s why we’re going bold and predicting he throws a pick-six. Specifically, Bills safety Jordan Poyer gets him for one. The All-Pro safety is yet to pick off a pass in 2023 after tallying a combined nine over the past two seasons. He’s due for one, and Prescott will be the victim.

Stefon Diggs held to less than 50 yards by Dallas Cowboys
Despite Buffalo’s season-saving win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week, Diggs was held to four catches for 24 yards on 11 targets. It represented his lowest single-game yardage output since back in November of 2019 when Diggs was a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
We’ve seen Diggs frustrated at times over the past couple seasons in Buffalo. Don’t expect that to change against a Cowboys defense that has yielded a mere 58% completion to opposing wide receivers on the season. That’s especially true with former Bills star Stephon Gilmore (53% completion, 68.9 QB rating allowed) covering Diggs.

CeeDee Lamb goes off for another 150 yards
Lamb has tallied north of 150 yards in three games this season with a total of six 100-yard games. He’s gone off for 18 receptions and 187 yards with two touchdowns over the past two games, too. Simply put, the dude has been dynamic for the ‘Boys this season.
How good has Lamb been? Prescott boasts an absurd 123.4 QB rating when throwing in his direction. Dallas’ star quarterback is also targeting Lamb a whopping 10 times per game. With Buffalo yielding the seventh-fewest yards to receivers in the season, we’re going to boldly predict Lamb goes off for a 150-plus for the fourth time in 2023.
Final prediction: Dallas Cowboys 31, Buffalo Bills 26
