Seattle appeared poised for a triumph in its recent away game, boasting a nine-point lead with less than eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. However, the team squandered this advantage and ultimately succumbed to a 17-16 defeat against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11. Notably, two of the team's losses on the road this season were by a combined five points, and its last two setbacks against Dallas were by fewer than eight points. The Seahawks have a solid track record against the Cowboys, winning their last four regular-season meetings, including a 38-31 triumph in 2020.
Looking at the upcoming Thursday Night Football matchup, SportsInsights reports that over 80% of the public favors the Cowboys. This game serves as a significant lookahead spot for Dallas, considering they will be facing the Philadelphia Eagles in the following week. It's questionable whether they will be fully committed to covering the spread tonight. Seattle had a subpar performance in their previous game against division rival San Francisco, but an improved effort is anticipated this time.
While the Cowboys are currently in good form, there is skepticism about them laying -9.5 points in this matchup against the Seahawks. Despite their impressive record, it's worth noting that the Cowboys have faced the second-easiest strength of schedule, with a .384 opponent winning percentage through Week 12, a trend not seen in any team over the past 10 seasons. Additionally, this season, the Cowboys are 0-2 against teams with a winning record, scoring only 16.5 points per game and conceding 35 points on average.
Pick: Seattle Seahawks +10 (-120)
🍀Best of luck!
