The Dallas Cowboys could be one of the complicated groups within the NFL proper now. At instances, they’ve appeared like critical postseason contenders, whereas additionally struggling double-digit losses to each the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. The latter would appear forgivable if it wasn’t by a lopsided closing rating of 42-10. However that loss to the Cardinals? Borderline inexcusable. At 3-2, it’s onerous to know the place this workforce is headed. Nonetheless, DraftKings Sportsbook lists Dallas as slight favorites on the street towards a 2-2 LA Chargers squad that’s coming off its Bye Week. To be trustworthy, I’m not precisely certain why.
Keenan Allen is placing an enormous season collectively for the Chargers, and the Cowboys haven’t appeared like the identical workforce since they misplaced Trevon Diggs. This might spell bother for the ‘Boys. However doubtlessly much more regarding is the truth that the Chargers are at present tied with the Seattle Seahawks with 16 sacks on the season; solely the Buffalo Payments maintain the next per-game sack complete. Dak Prescott has stayed comparatively clear within the proverbial pocket, as he has solely taken 9 sacks this season, in line with Professional Soccer Focus. Nevertheless, six of these have occurred during the last two weeks. That isn’t nice for a workforce that simply had one participant put up six sacks in a single recreation (Khalil Mack). Nevertheless, issues aren’t trying nice for Joey Bosa in the intervening time, so the Dallas offense may get some reprieve if he’s out.
The lengthy and wanting it’s that Dallas is in a precarious state of affairs; some are already calling this a “must-win” recreation. In a vacuum, it’s a recreation that they need to win. Nevertheless, the Cowboys have been outscored 73-64 since dropping Diggs. The Chargers, in the meantime, have but to lose a recreation by greater than three factors. Consider that Kellen Moore is aware of the ins and outs of this Dallas workforce and he could also be in search of some revenge after parting methods with the group. Name me mad, however I’m going for the Chargers on this one. The O/U is fairly lofty, although, and I don’t anticipate both workforce to gentle it up the best way San Francisco did final week.
