Colts at Cowboys picks and predictions
Prediction
Cowboys 27, Colts 13
Moneyline
The Cowboys are 5-1 at home this season and have won their last 5.
The Colts are 2-4 on the road, but their last win was on the road.
This is a game the Cowboys should win, even with potentially missing players with the flu bug. But with the moneyline what it is, PASS.
Against the spread
The Colts have lost by double digits only twice this season while the Cowboys have 5 double-digit wins out of their 8 this season.
The Colts have the most turnovers in the league (21) and the Cowboys are 8th in the league with 16 takeaways.
The Colts, averaging 15.8 points per game, are 20th in scoring. The Cowboys are No. 2 in points allowed at 17.0.
It appears unlikely the Colts will be able to even reach their season average, while the Cowboys have scored 28 or more in 4 straight games.
BET COWBOYS -10.5 (-113).
Over/Under
Only 3 of the Colts’ 12 games have seen the Over hit. The Cowboys are 4-6-1 O/U on the season.
Only 1 of the Colts’ last 6 games has had more than 44 total points.
BET UNDER 44 (-111).
