Our Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys Betting Picks & Predictions

Seattle Seahawks to cover the spread

• The Cowboys are the superior team but have lost to both the 49ers and Eagles this season while beating up on poor opponents, and this is a big spread
• Seattle QB Geno Smith seems healthy following a recent triceps injury and should have starting offensive tackle Abe Lucas back in the lineup
• The Seahawks have the coaching advantage with Pete Carroll against Mike McCarthy

Total Points Under 46 Points

• The Cowboys have the No. 3 defense in DVOA this season
• The Seahawks added talented defensive lineman Leonard Williams at the deadline and recently got back safety Jamal Adams from injury
• Scoring and quarterback efficiency is way down across the NFL, and the under has been the smart play

Best Seahawks vs. Cowboys Moneyline Odds

Our Player Prop Picks for Seahawks vs. Cowboys

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Under 280.5 Passing Yards

• Prescott has been on fire recently but this is a high number, one which he has crossed only four times in 11 games
• If the Cowboys are ahead late in the game they won’t need to throw frequently, and as nearly double-digit favorites, a lead is expected
• The Seahawks are allowing 5.8 net yards per pass attempt this season, which is 11th in the NFL

Seahawks QB Geno Smith Over 224.5 Passing Yards

• The Seahawks’ wide receiver trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba should all be available to give Smith options
• The Cowboys are second in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game but have faced a lot of bad or middling quarterbacks
• Smith is a pocket passer who should have some major volume, and the return to health of his offensive line is a big development

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb Under 1.5 Rushing Yards

• Lamb has five games this season without a rushing attempt and six with one or more
• In one of the games he finished with no gain on his lone carry, so getting an attempt without hitting the over is possible
• This is the underdog play when it feels like a 50/50 shot
