Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys odds and lines: 2021 Texas Governor’s Cup

Odds and lines for Saturday’s Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys NFL preseason Week 2 game. Can the Cowboys win the Governor’s Cup as favorites?

The Houston Texans (1-0) and Dallas Cowboys (0-2) meet Saturday for the Texas Governor’s Cup. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium. Below, we look at the Texans at Cowboys odds and lines.

The Texans have had a tumultuous offseason with issues surrounding QB Deshaun Watson but still opened their preseason with a 26-7 win at the Green Bay Packers that saw very few starters take the field on either side.

Presumed Week 1 starter QB Tyrod Taylor was 4-for-4 for 40 yards; 2021 third-round draft pick QB Davis Mills was 11-for-22 for 112 yards and 1 interception. Houston added 170 yards on the ground split between six ball carriers.

Dallas dropped both of its preseason games so far, falling 16-3 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Hall of Fame Game and 19-16 to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1 of the preseason. The Cowboys’ anticipated Week 1 starters on offense have yet to take the field for any meaningful period of time.

QB Dak Prescott continues his recovery from an ankle injury that sidelined him for all but five games in 2020 and has been struggling with soreness in the shoulder of his throwing arm. In his absence, Garrett Gilbert, Ben DiNucci and Cooper Rush have split reps almost equally as they battle to be his backup.

Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals preseason Week 1 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Cowboys (0-1) visit the Arizona Cardinals (0-0) Friday for a 10 p.m. ET kickoff at State Farm Stadium. Below, we look at the Cowboys at Cardinals odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Cowboys are coming off a Hall of Fame Game loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Canton, Ohio, and star QB Dak Prescott will miss another start after suffering a shoulder strain during the first week of training camp.

Backup QBs Garrett Gilbert and Ben DiNucci will get the bulk of the action in his place. Gilbert threw for 104 yards and was sacked twice last week.

The Cardinals will be without DL J.J. Watt, who has been rehabbing a hamstring injury. QB Kyler Murray will likely see one series of game action.

Cowboys at Cardinals odds, lines, predictions, and picks

Prediction

Cowboys 21, Cardinals 10

Money line

The Cardinals are slight favorites on the money line. Dallas reported to camp a week earlier and has an extra game under its belt, while Arizona will spend the bulk of the night working off the rust.

Take the COWBOYS (+115) as plus-money underdogs.

Against the spread

The Cowboys are 2.5-point underdogs on the road and even without Prescott, should cover with Gilbert perfectly capable of big-time passing performances.

Roll with the COWBOYS +2.5 (-105) with 2 points of insurance in the event of a loss.

Over/Under

Although both offenses are built for a shootout, Murray only playing one series should lead bettors to the UNDER 37.5 (-105).

Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines: New-look Cardinals open preseason

Looking at Friday’s Dallas Cowboys at Arizona Cardinals NFL preseason odds and lines.

The Dallas Cowboys already have a preseason game in the books as they suffered a 16-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Hall of Fame game. They will have four games in the preseason instead of three.

They take on the Arizona Cardinals this week, who revamped their roster with established veterans like DE J.J. Watt, WR A.J. Green and OL Rodney Hudson in an attempt to make a push for the postseason before QB Kyler Murray becomes one of the league’s highest-paid quarterbacks.

This week’s game is Arizona’s preseason opener. Kickoff is 10 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium Friday night. Below, we look at the Cowboys at Cardinals odds and lines.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame Game odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame Game matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys get the 2021 NFL preseason started Thursday with the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Kickoff will be at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Steelers vs. Cowboys odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Steelers started the 2020 season with an NFL-best 11-game win streak but went just 1-4 over their final four games of the regular season and lost 48-37 to the rival Cleveland Browns in the AFC Wild Card Round. They made few drastic changes in the offseason, outside of the selection of RB Najee Harris in the first round.

The Cowboys disappointed under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy last season. QB Dak Prescott started out on a career-best pace statistically, but his season ended in Week 5 due to an ankle injury. Three other quarterbacks saw action as Dallas finished 6-10.

Steelers at Cowboys odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Steelers 20, Cowboys 14

Money line

The Steelers and Cowboys are both mid-tier contenders to win Super Bowl LVI with odds of +3000 but don’t expect to see many, if any, of the players expected to be key pieces in the regular season.

Both Prescott and Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger are firmly entrenched in the starting role to open the season. However, the competition for the No. 2 job is greater in Pittsburgh with incumbent Mason Rudolph set to battle Dwayne Haskins and Joshua Dobbs. The winner of that competition may have a chance to eventually replace Big Ben.

Additionally, Dallas’ top-two running backs are set with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, and neither will see much time in exhibition play. Steelers RBs Benny Snell Jr., Anthony McFarland Jr. and Jaylen Samuels will have a more heated preseason competition for snaps behind the rookie Harris.

Back the STEELERS (-145) as modest favorites.

PLAY: Try our new, free daily Pick’em Challenge and win. Play now!

Against the spread

Get better value with PITTSBURGH -1.5 (-120) while needing the Steelers to win by 2 or more points.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin’s bunch went 3-1 in each of the last three full preseasons and won the exhibition opener each year. His experience with the depth veterans at the bottom of the roster is worth an edge against McCarthy.

Over/Under

Looking at the Pittsburgh QB competition as the primary fuel for offense in this game, back the OVER 32.5 (-115).

Scoring, especially early in the season, has been on the rise and hit an all-time high with 24.8 points per game scored per team last regular season. Look for an early Over on the 2021 preseason lines before bookmakers adjust ahead of the first full slate.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers odds and lines: 2021 Hall of Fame Game kicks off preseason

Analyzing the NFL preseason odds and lines for Thursday’s 2021 Hall of Fame Game between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 2021 NFL preseason begins this weekend with the 2021 Hall of Fame Game between the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers. Last year’s exhibition was originally scheduled for early August but was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Below, we look at the Steelers vs. Cowboys odds and lines.

The game kicks off an extended weekend of Hall of Fame festivities, as there will be two Hall of Fame classes enshrined. The 2020 class did not get its ceremony last year, and then the 2021 Hall of Fame class will have its moment.

The Cowboys and Steelers kick off the 2021 preseason Thursday at 8 p.m. ET at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio.

Eagles at Cowboys: Game notes

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will make his third straight start in place of the underperforming QB Carson Wentz. Hurts is 1-1 in his two starts with the offense averaging 25.0 PPG. That’s nearly a field goal better than the team’s overall offensive production of 21.6 PPG, which is 25th in the NFL.
The Cowboys have looked like an NFL caliber offense in recent weeks. QB Andy Dalton is back under center after a bout with a concussion and COVID-19. He has led the team to its first consecutive wins this season, something QB Dak Prescott was unable to do. The Cowboys have posted 71 total points over the past two outings.
Philadelphia won 23-9 against visiting Dallas in the first meeting on Sunday Night Football in Week 8, covering a 10.5-point number. That was the game QB Ben DiNucci started for the Cowboys, and the offense was a complete and utter disaster.
The Cowboys are 1-3 SU/0-4 ATS against the NFC East this season. The Eagles are 2-2 SU/1-3 ATS inside the division.
Philly is 0-5 ATS in the past five on the road, and 1-6 ATS in its past seven as a favorite. Dallas is just 2-5 ATS in the past seven at home, but 6-0 ATS in the past six as a home underdog.

Eagles at Cowboys: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Eagles 27, Cowboys 20

Money line (?)

The EAGLES (-160) are an OK play on the road. They have really looked a lot better with Hurts under center. The offensive line has struggled and been injury plagued, but the mobility of Hurts has helped to mask that a little bit.

Against the spread (?)

The EAGLES -3 (-115) are a good play as the favorite has cashed in eight of the past 10 meetings in this series. More important than trends, however, as neither of these quarterbacks have started a game in any of those 10 outings, is the injury report. The Cowboys have several key defenders banged up and in danger of sitting, and Zeke might be out again this week as well.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 49.5 (-110) is worth a look even though the Cowboys defense has been a sieve lately. The Under has cashed in each of the past four for Philly as a favorite, and the Under is 4-0 in its past four against teams with a losing record. The Over is 7-2 in the past nine for Dallas at home, but the Under is 2-1 in its past three divisional games.

Philadelphia Eagles slight favorites over Dallas Cowboys in Week 16

The Philadelphia Eagles are the betting favorites in their Week 16 road game at the Dallas Cowboys.

The Philadelphia Eagles (4-9-1) visit the Dallas Cowboys (5-9) Sunday of Week 16 at 4:25 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Below, we take a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Even at five games under .500, the Eagles are not quite eliminated from the chase for the NFC East crown. They’re 1½ games back of the first-place Washington Football Team with two to play, but they obviously need quite a bit of help and luck. The Eagles topped the New Orleans Saints 24-21 in Week 14 but came up just short Sunday at Arizona, 33-26. Still, the mobility of rookie QB Jalen Hurts has made a huge difference, as the Eagles are averaging 25.0 PPG in his two games, while averaging 21.6 PPG overall on the season. These teams met in Philadelphia back on Nov. 1 in Week 8, with the Eagles winning a 23-9 game as 10.5-point favorites.

The Cowboys lost that first meeting in Philly, but that was with third-string QB Ben DiNucci making a start. QB Andy Dalton is back under center, and the Cowboys are suddenly looking like a functional NFL offense again. Dallas exploded for a season-high in points in Week 15 with a 41-33 victory over the San Francisco 49ers as a 4-point underdog. The win marked the first time the Cowboys won consecutive games this season. They are averaging 35.5 PPG and allowing just 20.0 PPG across the past two outings. Dallas is also a respectable 4-2 ATS across the past six games.

49ers at Cowboys: Game notes

Playing at its temporary home in Glendale, Ariz., San Francisco was dominated by the Washington Football Team’s defense in a 23-15 loss in Week 14. The 49ers’ defense kept Washington’s offense out of the end zone, but WFT scored two defensive touchdowns, including DE Chase Young’s 47-yard fumble return and S Kamren Curl’s 76-yard interception return.
49ers’ gambling records: 5-8 ATS and 6-7 O/U.
Dallas eased past the host Cincinnati Bengals 30-7 in QB Andy Dalton’s revenge game last week. However, the result was based more on the Bengals losing than the Cowboys winning. Dallas had fewer first downs and total yards than Cincinnati, and only possessed the ball for 25:19. The Cowboys defense forced 3 turnovers, including DE Aldon Smith’s 78-yard fumble return for a score.
Cowboys’ gambling records: 3-10 ATS and 7-6 O/U.
While these storied franchises have been NFC rivals for decades, they haven’t played a meaningful head-to-head game in years. The last meeting ended in a Cowboys’ 40-10 road win in 2017.

49ers at Cowboys: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Cowboys 24, 49ers 20

Money line (?)

A lot has happened since the 49ers lost in Super Bowl 54, and based on their 2020 returns, they shouldn’t be a road favorite over a team that has one less loss. When you audit the 49ers’ wins there isn’t a lot to be impressed with.

San Francisco beat NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams twice, which head coach Kyle Shanahan seemingly has cast a spell on, an extremely one-dimensional New England Patriots squad, a winless New York Jets team and a 5-8 New York Giants team.

This is more of a bet against an overrated 49ers team, but I’ll TAKE COWBOYS (+145) for a half-unit.

Against the spread (?)

The market apparently doesn’t agree with the old football adage that you are what your record says you are. According to Pregame.com, 60% of the money bet is on the 49ers, which has pushed them from a 2.5-point favorite when the line opened to the current -3.

The public betting a road favorite is a nice spot if you believe in the fade the market handicapping angle. There is too much talent on this Cowboys team for it to be 3-10 ATS this season. That record is going to even out a little. Playing a 49ers team which has lost five of its last six ATS is a good matchup for Dallas.

GIMME COWBOYS +3 (-110) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (?)

PASS ON THE TOTAL with a slight lean on the Over 44.5 (-115). Even 49ers backup QB Nick Mullens can put up points against a Cowboys defense which ranks dead last in points allowed per game. Plus, all the injuries to San Francisco’s defense make that unit a shell of its 2020 self.

Cowboys at Bengals: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Bengals 13

Money line (?)

Neither team is playing well and both have a good reason, as they both are playing their backup quarterbacks. However, Cincy just can’t score points since Joe Burrow was lost for the season. Dalton will get to have his revenge game. The Cowboys have the better quarterback and the better skill players. Take the COWBOYS (-200).

Against the spread (?)

Dallas has been the league’s worst team against the spread this season, covering only twice in 12 games. Cincinnati is 7-5 ATS but has failed to cover the spread in three of their last four games. Take the COWBOYS -3.5 (-110).

Over/Under (?)

Both teams have been going in opposite directions recently with the point total. Cincinnati’s games have gone Under in their last three games. Dallas’ last three have gone Over.

Considering the lack of offensive output from the Bengals in recent weeks (averaging 10.3 points per game), it is going to be very difficult to hit even this low total of 41.5. Take UNDER 41.5 POINTS (-105).

Cowboys at Ravens: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Ravens 27, Cowboys 13

Money line (?)

Jackson fronts the Ravens returning group of players this week after a strong defensive performance nearly carried Baltimore to what would have been a shocking upset of the still-undefeated Steelers. The Ravens (-358) will have more than enough offensive firepower for a convincing win to get them back on track and in the hunt for an AFC playoff spot.

While it’s a relatively safe play, the -385 price tag is too chalky and not worth the risk. PASS and focus on the spread.

Against the spread (?)

Take the RAVENS -7.5 (-105) to win by at least 8 points. They’re just 5-6 against the spread through 11 games, but they win by 6.2 points per game. The Cowboys are a league-worst 2-9 ATS and lose by 9.8 PPG.

Over/Under (?)

Take the UNDER 44.5 (-105) with both teams likely to be slow-starting due to the schedule changes. The strong Ravens defense should also be able to contain Dalton and the ‘Boys after holding the Steelers to 19 points in a loss last week.
