Kansas Must Win Game
Kansas City's Dick Vermeil is pretty sure that coaching rival Bill Parcells is unhappy right now. Dallas has lost two in a row and from Kansas' perspective this is not a good time to come up against and angry Bill Parcells and team - a team they have to meet in Dallas.
Vermeil knows that Dallas will be out to make things right. To play harder than ever.
"Bill has a great way of applying pressure from a leadership standpoint. Believe me, I know a lot of guys who play for Bill feel that pressure, and then they play better. That's his style. He's a great leader."
The game is also important for both teams - which should make for an enthralling contest.
At 8-4, Kansas figure they need to win around three of the final four games to have a wild card chance. They face the Giants next week and then come home for the Chargers and Bengals - so this is probably the road game they have the best chance of winning.
This is the eighth meeting between the teams. Dallas lead 4-3, but the teams haven't met since 1998 when Kansas won 20-17 at home. Kansas have lost on their last two trips to Texas Stadium and have won only once in four trips.
Dallas are -3 for this game on our spreads.
