Seahawks at Cowboys picks and predictions
Prediction
Seahawks 24, Cowboys 20
Money line
The Cowboys are going to sit their starters, while the Seahawks have shifted practice reps to their starters. They are expected to get playing time in the preseason finale.
So while the Cowboys will have young players in the lineup and guys who are battling to just make the roster, the Seahawks will have their starters on the field, at least to start things off.
The line reflects that, making a bet on the Seahawks worth very little. PASS on the money line
Against the spread
The focus for this final game, especially once the starters for Seattle come out of the game, will be to stay healthy. Yes, potential back-of-the-roster guys are battling for NFL jobs, but the last part of the game will definitely slow down.
Seattle’s starters are not considered to be among the league’s best, so it will be a matter of how big of a lead they build before things even out.
Expect the score to tighten as the game goes on.
Take the COWBOYS +6.5 (-105).

Over/Under
The Seahawks have had both preseason games finish with at least 38 points. The Cowboys had their last game hit 50 total points but their opener had only 24.
Take OVER 37.5 (-112).
