The Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys will square off in a must-win game for both parties.
The Cowboys cannot cede any ground in the race for the top of the NFC East — or the NFC — and they need to prove that they can beat winning teams on the road, especially after last week’s debacle vs. the Buffalo Bills.
The Dolphins, on the other hand, need to keep winning to secure the AFC East, and they could still catch the Baltimore Ravens atop the AFC as well.
With that in mind, NFL legend Michael Irvin believes the Cowboys are going to have the last laugh in a shootout.
In the latest edition of “Undisputed,” Irvin stated that the Cowboys should still feel embarrassed about Sunday’s loss to the Bills, adding that he thinks they’re going to win, 41-38.

Notably, both teams have proven to be more than capable of putting up those kinds of numbers, as they both boast explosive offenses and questionable defenses and two quarterbacks who have proven to be willing to sling the football down the field.
This game should be quite exciting and with multiple lead changes, and judging by both teams’ trends, it’s hard to predict who’s going to end up on top.
The Cowboys have been a shell of themselves when they’ve had to play away from home, and the same can be said of the Dolphins in big-time games.
Something’s got to give, and maybe it’ll come down to who makes fewer mistakes.
