Cowboys vs. Falcons, NFL Week 9: Odds & Preview

The Dallas Cowboys will need to continue to have a short memory as they look to avoid losing their third straight when they face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 9. The Falcons are 5-3 in first place in the NFC South.

The Cowboys will have their hands full in this one. Conformable ESPN BETthe team is not expected to win, but the spread may surprise you.

Spread: +3 Dal

EGG: 43.5

ML: +125 Dal

Make it three games in a row where the Cowboys have been underdogs when it comes to the odds. However, three points seems a lot less than I expected and I don’t consider myself a sports betting master.

However, if you’re feeling lucky and think the Cowboys can pull this one off, then maybe the spread and moneyline are giving you the look right now.

How do you stop an offense that can score at any time? Easy, keep your offense on the field. The Cowboys should try to eat up as much clock as they can with long offensive possessions. However, to do that, a team needs a good running game.

News flash: The Cowboys don’t have that. With the defense hit high and a offense sputtering, the blueprint for victory seems difficult to create. The Cowboys best game plan may be to find CeeDee Lamb as often as possible and maybe try him in the backfield as well.

A loss on Sunday could put the finishing touches on this Cowboys season.
