We're almost done with Week 14. For those who play fantasy football, this has been a pivotal week -- it determined the fates of many teams on the playoff bubble. And this late in the season, some NFL teams are still fighting for spots in the real playoffs.
Even for those who aren't likely to get into the postseason, there's still plenty to play for, and the games can be wildly entertaining.
Let's check out who will play on MNF, when and how you can watch, and who we think will win.
The Cincinnati Bengals will travel to Arlington, Texas, and storm into JerryWorld to take on the Dallas Cowboys. Cincinnati shockingly sits at just 4-8 despite having elite-level play from quarterback Joe Burrow -- the defense has simply been atrocious. Meanwhile, Dallas won't have their starting quarterback, Dak Prescott (hamstring), who's out for the season.

And for the very first time, on Disney+ and ESPN+, you can watch the Simpsons broadcast of the game. This broadcast will start at 8:00 PM ET, as the above graphic shows.
Who is Going to Win?
You have to assume that the Bengals will win. Anything can happen, but the team without their starting quarterback is automatically at a huge disadvantage, especially if the other team has one of the NFL's best. And that's exactly what Joe Cool is. He's absolutely shredded defenses this year.

Burrow has already passed for 3,337 yards, 30 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Cincy has elite wide receivers in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and running back Chase Brown. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are missing much of their offensive talent due to injuries. They're a heavily banged up unit.
Expect the Bengals to put up at least 30 points in this game. A 38-27 victory wouldn't surprise us.
