Kansas City has balance and speed on offense, third in the NFL in yards per game, with 122.8 yards rushing, 255 passing. QB Alex Smith (16 TDs, 0 INTs) has taken advantage of speedy weapons Tyreek Hill and rookie RB Kareem Hunt (763 yards, 5.2 ypc). Throw in TE Travis Kelce (556 yards), the leading receiver, and they are tough for anyone to defend. Six of their last seven road games have sailed OVER the total, including their last road contest, a 31-30 defeat at Oakland. Dallas has a strong quarterback, too, in Dak Prescott (14 TDs, 4 INTs) with fine targets in WR Dez Bryant, TE Jason Witten and WR Terrance Williams. They also have great balance with star RB Ezekiel Elliott avoiding suspension. Dallas has scored 33, 40, 31, 30 and 28 points the last five games, moving up to fifth in the NFL in scoring (28.3 ppg), but the defense has slipped from a year ago, #20 in points allowed. And playing OVER a total greater than or equal to 49.5 in a game involving two teams that average less than 1.25 turnovers per game has gone 40-12 OVER the total. Play Kansas City and the OVER.
