Two of those games—Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts—make up today’s edition of the Best Games To Bet On. Check out our quick preview for both matchups below.

The Redskins laid down a 42-24 beating on the Packers on Sunday night, improving their record to 6-3-1, the eight-best in the league. The offense amassed 515 total yards, including 151 on the ground as RB Robert Kelley had a career night with 137 yards on 24 carries with three scores. But their running game is on a collision course with a sturdy Dallas front seven that yields just 84.4 rushing yards per contest. Then again, that shouldn’t intimidate the Burgundy and Gold, who fell just four points short of defeating the Cowboys back in Week 2. Expect this NFC East matchup to probably be just as close again.
Indy’s back on the .500 mark with a win over Tennessee on Sunday, 24-17, giving the Colts also their first back-to-back victories of the season. Their pass rush did a solid job against the Titans, as Marcus Mariota was sacked five times. Doing that to Ben Roethlisberger tonight would help their cause, but stopping the bulldozer in Le’Veon Bell is a tougher assignment. Bell was unstoppable in the Steelers’ 24-9 win over Cleveland, amassing 201 all-purpose yards, including a season-high 146 rushing yards with a touchdown. The Indianapolis defense is surrendering 113.1 yards rushing, the ninth-most in the league today.
