Check down below to see Pats Pulpit’s picks tonight and head to the comment section to further discussion Friday night’s action.
Go Cowboys! New England could side with Dallas if they're looking at draft position, but for now they'll go against the AFC opponent, who defeated them earlier this season. | 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC
Oliver Thomas: The glaring sun should be set at AT&T Stadium. But where’s the moon going to be? That’s up to Jerry Jones’ Cowboys to find out without Dak Prescott for the rest of 2024. The Texans need a get-right game after what’s transpired since Halloween. And C.J. Stroud needs Nico Collins, who was leading the NFL in receiving before landing on injured reserve. Losing despite picking off five passes is historically hard to do. | Texans 27, Cowboys 13
Brian Hines: More Cowboys in prime time? Hell yeah, especially as they're led by Cooper Rush with Dak Prescott sidelined for the season. C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense has been in a funk of late, but they should get Nico Collins back in a prime get-right spot. | Texans 30, Cowboys 16
Bernd Buchmasser: AT&T Stadium is literally breaking apart ahead of Monday Night Football, and it might be a sign of things to come for the Cowboys. Starting Cooper Rush at quarterback against a high-powered if recently-inconsistent Texans team does not bode well for the home team. Unless, Mike McCarthy finds the magic wand he has not had in his possession for some time now, things could get ugly for him and his team. | Texans 34, Cowboys 14
