Indianapolis clinched the AFC South last week and is rolling into Week 16 on a four-game winning streak while Dallas can clinch the NFC East with a win here and is in search of its third straight victory.
The Colts topped the Houston Texans 17-10 last week en route to winning the division while the Cowboys notched a huge 38-27 victory over their divisional foes the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15.
One player that will be highly scrutinized is Demarco Murray, who had surgery on his hand recently but is expected to play.
"As we go, we'll just see how functional he is -- how he can hold the ball, hold it under duress, catch the ball, block, do all the things necessary to be ready to play," coach Jason Garrett said via ESPN.
Murray paces the NFL with 1,687 rushing yards, 351 attempts on the ground and 11 touchdowns.
At quarterback, Tony Romo will look to avoid demons that have haunted him in the past this time of year. Romo is 264-for-381 (69.3 percent) this season for 3,188 yards with 28 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Romo's best weapon through the air has been Dez Bryant, who has hauled in 79 receptions for 1,148 yards and has reached the end zone an NFL-best 13 times.
The Colts counter with Andrew Luck under center and the third-year star is 355-for-578 (61.4 percent) for a league-best 4,492 yards with a league-high 38 touchdowns and 14 picks.
Luck has a handful of solid receivers to throw to, including T.Y. Hilton as he has 82 receptions for 1,345 yards and seven scores. Another weapon is Reggie Wayne, but coach Chuck Pagano hinted that some of his veterans may rest today.
"We've talked about a lot of guys," Pagano told ESPN of possibly benching Wayne and the vets. "He's one of the guys that you could consider but we'll look at him, we'll look at guys that are on the injury list that are dealing with nagging injuries and if it's best for them and best for the team then we'll do obviously what's right in all those cases."
On the ground, Trent Richardson has 151 attempts for 507 yards and has found the end zone three times.
The NFL season continues to wind down as the Colts and Cowboys clash this afternoon at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
