Dallas Cowboys Betting Trends

The Cowboys are just 2-6 against the spread in their last eight games overall and are 1-6-1 at the betting window in their last eight games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game. That said, they’re 10-4 against the spread in their last 14 games coming off a win and have covered in seven of their last 10 games played in September.

Denver Broncos Betting Trends

The Broncos are 7-3-2 against the spread in their last 12 home games, are 6-0-1 against the number in their last seven games played in September, and are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. That said, they’re 0-3-1 against the spread in their last four games following a win.

Our Prediction

The public is loading up on the Cowboys today, and I understand why. Their offense looked as good as it did a year ago versyus the Giants last Sunday night and their defense has improved. Or has it?The Giants have a poor offensive line, no running game, and were without Odell Beckham Jr. Dallas might be improved defensively, but that question wasn’t answered last Sunday night.

If the Trevor Siemian that played Monday night against the Chargers shows up again today, I like the Broncos to pull off the small upset. Denver is still a difficult place to play and the Broncos running game was efficient Monday night. Yes it’s a short week for Denver, but the Broncos benefit from playing back-to-back games at home.

NFL Week 2 Prediction: Denver Broncos +2.5
