After a heavy road stretch over the last month, the Indianapolis Colts return home this week and take on the 3-5 Dallas Cowboys.

With much of the attention surrounding the Colts on the trade deadline, NFL insider Jordan Schultz recently reported that "the belief around the league is that, barring an offer that blows them away, Indianapolis plans to wait until after Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys before revisiting the offers on the table."

So before we see what the trade deadline brings, there is still a game to be played on Sunday. Here is who the experts have winning the Colts vs. Cowboys matchup.

Pro Football Talk

Mike Florio is picking the Cowboys to win by a score of 27-17.

"It’s a Super Bowl V rematch, between one team that knows it’s not a Super Bowl contender

and one team that continues to delude itself."

CBS Sports

Pete Prisco is picking the Cowboys to win as well. Dallas 31, Indianapolis 17.

"The Cowboys are coming off a horrible loss to the Cardinals at home, but they get a big break playing the Colts, who are struggling. Indianapolis has major problems and there is talk of trading more players. The Cowboys will get the offense cranked up again in this one as they get back on track behind their passing game."

Another clean sweep in favor of the Cowboys, with all five staff members taking Dallas. Here is why Jeremy Bergman is picking Dallas.

"The more defining matchup Sunday will be whether Indianapolis can slow down Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, who can put up yards and points against the Colts' 30th-ranked scoring defense. With Javonte Williams getting good touches against the league's least-efficient run defense, the Cowboys should wrangle the Colts on Sunday -- unless their lasso loosens in the second half again."
