NFL Odds: Top 5 Dallas Cowboys Locks In 2017 Season
The Dallas Cowboys are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl LII. But which five of their regular season games are straight-up locks?
Top 5 Easiest Dallas Cowboys Games of 2017
The over/under for Dallas Cowboys wins in 2017 is 9.5 according to the WestGate Las Vegas Superbook. And the game-by-game spreads from CG Technology show 5 easy wins out there for a team listed as a 5/1 favorite to win the NFC.
(Week 17 is excluded, too, because of high variance caused by potential playoff seeding, quarterbacks sitting out the final week or playing partial games, etc.)
Week 4 sees the St. Louis Rams visit Dallas as a 12 1/2-point underdog, which is a sure-thing win for the Cowboys straight up. San Diego comes to Dallas in Week 12 and is getting 10 points, another seemingly sure thing.
Coming off a Week 6 bye, Dallas goes to San Francisco and is giving the host 49ers 8 1/2 points. Week 11 sees NFC East foe Philadelphia visit Dallas and getting 7 points. Two weeks later, a Week 13 home showdown vs. archrival Washington sees the Cowboys giving 7 points to the Redskins.
Potential Dallas Cowboys Losses in 2017
There are several potential land mines out there for the Cowboys. Starting in Week 2, a road trip to Denver shows the Cowboys-Broncos as a pick-em game. Week 15 also has a pick-em test when Dallas visits the Oakland Raiders.
Dallas is only a 1-point favorite in Week 14 at the New York Giants, and the Cowboys are actually getting 1 point in a Week 10 slugfest at Atlanta.
Dallas Cowboys Prediction
Despite an unbelievable season by rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas fell short in the playoffs last season. And while questions remain on defense, Dallas returns Prescott, Elliott, Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and the best offensive line in football. Look for the Cowboys to win more than 9.5 games and make a deeper run in the NFL playoffs.
