I am sorry to disagree, but Dallas is much better than an average team.
They are NOT an elite team (since they do NOT have a shutdown defense), but they are not an “average” team.
I too look forward to Denver matching up with the Chiefs. Dallas played both of those teams close and barely lost in both cases.
As I watched that game yesterday, about five minutes into the third quarter I said, “Who ever has the ball last will be the winner of this game.” Unfortunately, I was right.
Dallas is an average team.
Various “power rankings” have them a 15, 18, 17 etc.
You can’t get more “average” than that.
