The Dallas Cowboys played a wild, exciting game on Sunday night that ended with no one happy. Dallas played the Green Bay Packers and Micah Parsons to a 40-40 draw, taking up the full ten minutes of overtime
to get there. While the ending was unsatisfying, the Cowboys do come out of the game with some renewed hope as it was generally assumed they would get crushed. Green Bay was a 6.5-point favorite before the game, a very large spread for the NFL.
Now, Dallas must go on the road for an afternoon game against the New York Jets on Sunday. The Jets are currently winless and will play the Miami Dolphins in a Monday night game. Even though Dallas will be the road team, they go into the matchup as 2.5-point favorites according to FanDuel. Considering the baked in advantage that home field gives an NFL team, the Cowboys’ status as solid favorites in the game, even against a bad Jets team, is still a little surprising and likely shows some respect from last night’s game.
So the question is over to you BTB – would you take the Cowboys and give the points for next week?
