The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their best win of the season, a 41-14 stomping of the Las Vegas Raiders. Patrick Mahomes looked like his old self, throwing for over 400 yards and five touchdowns.
Kansas City has now won three in a row and will look to keep the momentum going on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs will be featured in America's Game of the Week as they take on the 7-2 Dallas Cowboys.

Kansas City Chiefs Week 11 Predictions
4. Chiefs' Defense Will Get Torched
Despite the Chiefs' encouraging defensive performance against Las Vegas, they're going to have their hands full against a stacked Cowboys offense.
Dak Prescott is having a great season, with stars Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb flanked at receiver. Where the Cowboys will devastate the Chiefs in this match, however, will be on the ground. Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard form a potent one-two punch at running-back that should wear out a weak Chiefs front seven.
The Chiefs have struggled mightily against the run the last few seasons, and Dallas' offensive line should have their way with them on Sunday.
3. Mahomes' Aerial Assault Continues
Patrick Mahomes should be able to move the ball on the Cowboys. While Dallas has been great against the rush, they're below average against the pass. I expect Andy Reid to be aggressive on fourth-and-short, even at midfield.
The Cowboys have never faced Mahomes before, as the last time these two teams played one another was back in 2017 when Alex Smith was Kansas City's starter. Mike McCarthy's club will be in for a rude awakening in Week 11.
2. Tyreek Hill Will Go Off
Speedster Tyreek Hill has been good in 2021 and has nearly exceeded 200 receiving yards in two games this season. Expect Hill to put up big numbers again as Kansas City may be trailing at times in this game. This will open up the opportunity for big plays that heavily feature Hill and his speed.
Hill currently ranks fourth in the NFL in receiving yards at 855. There's a good chance the 27-year-old will break 1,000 yards in this game, which would mark the fourth season he has accomplished that feat.
Mecole Hardman may also get some looks as the Cowboys hone in on Travis Kelce, who had the best game of his season last week in Vegas.
1. Chiefs Win With Late Game-Sealing Interception
Someone on the Chiefs' defense is going to have to make a big play, and this game will come down to the final possession. Look for Pro Bowl safety Tyrann Mathieu to be flying around the field and get a game-sealing interception off Dak Prescott in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Chiefs maintain one of the best home-field advantages in all of football. While Prescott and company will put up points for the majority of the game, expect Kansas City to clamp up on defense late and seal a close win for the reigning AFC champs.
