The Cowboys and their blowout wins have become the norm. We see betters are backing them so far 79% consensus laying -9.5. In comes Seattle who has lost 3 of 4 but is still 6-5… above .500. the Cowboys are 0-2 vs. teams over .500, and they have blown out teams that are not winning teams. As I look at Seattle they aren’t being given a chance here, they may not be on the same level as Dallas, but they aren’t a Carolina or a New York team. You can point to those blowouts and I am gonna tell you it’s very unlikely that Seattle is blown out before half time. Meaning I’m not laying the -9.5 if your side is the Cowboys here you will most likely be able to get a better number. I do think they Cowboys win this game as they are trying to hold on to a chance of winning their division and Philly is looking like the NFC will be decided on their home turf.
If you’re looking at Seattle here then remember the Walker injury at running back, with him out they lose the power from their run game. I think with Seattle they are capable of giving trouble for the Cowboys as with the short week they aren’t really the team you can overlook. Their losses have been in division and the Cowboys didn’t play so well against the 49ers at full strength either. The losses coming 2 to the Rams, the 49ers, the Ravens, and the Bengals game they had a chance to win and were stopped 4th down in the red zone twice.
The number being as high as it seems like the books are daring you to take Seattle, but really they are making you pay an inflated price for Dallas. When your paying over value for something it eventually will catch up to you, I’m comfortable losing with Seattle and +9.5 since this ones ,” over before it starts” and all that good stuff.
303: NFL: Seahawks +9½
