The Dallas Cowboys will travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in one of the most intriguing and potentially high-scoring games on the NFL Week 8 Sunday slate. These two teams are battling to become true contenders in this wide-open Super Bowl race, where all but two teams in the league have lost two or more games through seven weeks this season.

Bo Nix and the 5-2 Denver Broncos are coming off one of the wildest comebacks in recent memory, scoring 33 points in the fourth quarter to erase a 19-0 deficit and beat the New York Giants 33-32. Those 33 points are the most points scored in NFL history by a team that were shut out through three quarters.

Meanwhile, the 3-3-1 Cowboys knocked off the Washington Commanders 44-22 behind CeeDee Lamb's five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown in his return from injury. Javonte Williams continued his phenomenal start to life in Dallas with 116 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.

Dallas Cowboys vs Denver Broncos Best Bets

Over 51.5 (via BetMGM Sportsbook)

The Cowboys statistically have the best offense in football, putting up 390.6 yards per game this season. They've also put up 25 offensive touchdowns, which is third in the league, behind only the Indianapolis Colts and the Detroit Lions.

On the other side of the ball, Dallas are statistically the worst team in football, allowing an eye-watering 401.6 yards per game. They've also allowed 24 offensive touchdowns; only the Cincinnati Bengals have allowed more.

While the Broncos have allowed just 18.1 points per game this season (fourth-best in the NFL), Cowboys running back Javonte Williams may find some extra motivation as he gets to face his former team for the first time. Williams is looking as healthy and as fast as he ever has, which is why we love both teams to put up some big numbers today.

Javonte Williams 90+ Rushing Yards (+290 via DraftKings)

If you believe in potential shootouts and revenge games, you'll be getting a great price for Javonte Williams to have a big game today. Williams has gone off for 76 or more yards in five of seven games this season and is averaging a gaudy 5.3 yards per carry.

The only worry is that he may not get the volume he needs in this one. He averages about 16 carries a contest, tied for ninth in the league, and may get less than that if this turns into an aerial assault.

However, if you think Williams is going to blow up for over 100 yards, you can get phenomenal prices for 100+ yards (+444), 110+ yards (+670), and 120+ yards (+1000).

J.K. Dobbins 2+ Touchdowns (+500 via FanDuel)

The Cowboys' defense is really bad, and J.K. Dobbins is really good. Dobbins is averaging five yards a carry this season. Dobbins is the clear-cut RB1 in Denver ahead of second-round rookie running back RJ Harvey, who has only rushed for four yards on six carries over the last two games.

The downside is that Dobbins is not very involved in the passing game, as he's only caught seven passes this season. He's also only had five two-touchdown games in his career, though two of those came last season. Against the worst run defense in football, however, he may have his best chance of the season.

Dallas Cowboys vs Denver Broncos Prediction

34-31 Broncos

We expect this to be a sensational shootout, with Denver coming out on top in a 34-31 battle to go to 6-2. We expect the Broncos' defense to put up a little bit more resistance than the Cowboys, though Bo Nix and Dak Prescott should have no trouble moving the ball through the air. The star running backs should be very involved as well, pulling off several explosive runs at Mile High.
