Betting on the Dallas Cowboys (4-5)
It sounds cliched, but how about them Cowboys? During a tumultuous week in which there were rumors of coaching changes in Dallas and fans voicing their displeasure of the team’s offense, the Cowboys somehow beat the reigning Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday on the road, 27-20. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott went 26 of 36 for 270 passing yards for a touchdown with zero interceptions. But it was Dak Prescott who made the loudest noise in Philly, as the running back went off for 151 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. Meanwhile, wide receiver caught six of 10 targets fir 75 receiving yards. The Cowboys are seemingly coming together on offense and it’s a bad news for their future opponents. If they could sustain it, they will be up for another offensive game against the Atlanta Falcons, whose defense can sometimes personify a wet paper bag, as they are 29th in the league in scoring points with 28.2 points allowed per game.
The under is 8-2 in Dallas’ last 10 games away from Arlington. On the road so far this season, the Cowboys are 1-4 straight up and 2-3 against the spread.
Betting on the Atlanta Falcons (4-5)
The Falcons losing 28-16 last Sunday to the Cleveland Browns was another low for the team this season. Although the Browns are no longer the dumpster on fire team that they used to be in previous years, the Falcons were still viewed as the better team heading into that matchup. Their defense was carved up through the air and on the ground against the Browns, a recurring problem for Atlanta, which is only 30th against the pass, which is 30th in total defense with 414.3 total yards given up per contest. However, Atlanta can make up for there defensive shortcomings by unloading on other other side of the field. They are inside the top 10 in scoring offense (27.1), total offense (408.9), and passing offense (319.1). Matt Ryan played well against the Browns, uncorking 330 passing yards and two touchdowns without throwing a pick on 38-of-52 completions. He’ll have to sustain that, as the Falcons’ backfield has been anemic ever since Devonta Freeman got sidelined by an injury. Plus, Atlanta still has wide receiver Julio Jones, who’ll be a nightmare matchup for Dallas cornerbacks. Also watch out for tight end Austin Hooper, who can have success against Dallas’ defense that got roasted by Philly TE Zach Ertz last week.
The Falcons are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 home games.
Writer’s Prediction
Dallas wins, 27-23.
