Cowboys at Seahawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Cowboys 23, Seahawks 20
Moneyline
The Cowboys will not have their most important starters (QB Dak Prescott, CB Trevon Diggs, LB Micah Parsons) in this game. Seattle could play some starters.
Both teams showed the ability to score points in their preseason openers.
But as things go with all preseason games, because the game ultimately will be decided by players who either will be backups or not on NFL rosters, the only way to bet the preseason is to go with the plus odds on the moneyline.
BET COWBOYS (+220).
Against the spread
The Seahawks covered the spread in their win last week.
The Cowboys could not cover the 4-point spread as underdogs.
But because of the volatility of preseason games, there is no good way to follow trends.
PASS.

Over/Under
Both teams scored in the 20s last week.
Seven of the 16 preseason games last week had more than 40 total points.
The Cowboys’ game had 51 total points, while the Seahawks’ game had 37.
Expect both teams to be able to do offensively what they did in their preseason openers.
BET OVER 40.5 (-110).
