Why the Cowboys can cover
Dallas possesses one of the most dangerous offenses in the NFL, as it ranks first in scoring (31.5 points), fourth in passing (262.4 yards) and fifth in total offense (377.6). Much of the success can be attributed to the play of Dak Prescott, who is on pace to reach the 4,000-yard plateau for the third time in his eight-year career. The 30-year-old is sixth in the league with 2,935 passing yards and has 23 touchdown tosses, one behind Buffalo's Josh Allen for the NFL lead.
Prescott guided the Cowboys to a 45-10 triumph over Washington last Thursday, throwing for 331 yards and four TDs as they became the first team in league history to win the first five home games in a season by at least 20 points. It marked the third time in five contests he made four scoring passes and the 10th time in his career, tying him with Tony Romo for the team record. Seven of Dallas' eight overall victories in 2023 have been by 20 or more points, the second-most by a team over the first 11 games of a season in the Super Bowl era. See which team to pick here .
Why the Seahawks can cover
Seattle was on its way to victory in its last road game, as it led by nine points with less than eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but it squandered the advantage and dropped a 17-16 decision to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. Two of the team's losses away from home this year were by a combined five points and its last two setbacks against Dallas were by fewer than eight points. The Seahawks have won their last four regular-season meetings with the Cowboys, including a 38-31 triumph in 2020.
The Seahawks are hoping receivers Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf come up with performances similar to the ones they had in that victory. Lockett made nine catches for 100 yards and three touchdowns, while Metcalf hauled in four passes for 110 yards and had the decisive TD reception with 1:47 remaining in the fourth quarter. Metcalf leads Seattle this year with 678 receiving yards and Lockett has amassed 575 yards and a team-high four scoring catches. See which team to pick here .
