Coming off a big win in Week 7 against the Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys hope their momentum carries them to another victory on the road.

This weekend, they take on the Denver Broncos, who are leading the AFC West with a record of 5-2. Denver is also coming off a big win, shocking the New York Giants with a 33-point fourth quarter in a come-from-behind victory.

Dallas will have its hands full as they once again enter the weekend as the underdogs. Let's see how the spread looks and preview the upcoming contest.

Homecoming for Javonte Williams

Javonte Williams spent the first four seasons of his career with Denver. He was a star as a rookie with 903 yards and four touchdowns, but was slowed by injuries. He averaged fewer than four yards per attempt in his final two seasons, leading to his exit in free agency.

Since joining Dallas, he has experienced a career resurgence. Williams is averaging 5.3 yards per attempt and has a career-high six touchdowns.

He said he has nothing but good memories of his time in Denver, but he's still human and will want to prove they should have kept him. Williams is going to be a focal point of the offense, and Dallas needs him to be highly motivated to pull off the upset.

Can Cowboys defeat their kryptonite?

The Cowboys and Broncos have played just 14 times, with Denver owning a 9-5 record overall. The battle used to be lopsided in the favor of Dallas, however, as the Broncos have now won the past seven meetings between the two teams.

Dallas last beat Denver in 1995, which was also the last time they won the Super Bowl. This team has been a thorn in their side with Peyton Manning ruining one of the best games of Tony Romo's career and also handing Dak Prescott and the Cowboys an embarrassing 42-17 loss in 2017.

This franchise has been a kryptonite for Dallas, and it would be nice to see them finally end the drought.
