Falcons vs. Cowboys Odds
Game Preview
Atlanta lost to both the Lions, 17-10, and the Titans, 23-20, in the opening pair of the preseason games. They were both at home, and we need to say that the Falcons didn’t thrill anyone. Yes, neither Penix Jr. nor Cousins threw, but that still can’t be an alibi.
On the upside, the defense looked solid. We need to say that. As time goes by, all those picks from this year’s draft will be even better, and it appears that the Falcons managed to put up a talented group of guys.
The Cowboys lost in LA to the Rams, 31-21, and then at home to the Ravens, 31-13. Dallas’ backup quarterbacks Will Grier and Joe Milton III aren’t players for the NFL, that’s for sure, and things will look much better when Dak Prescott takes the stage.
Overall, the Cowboys should play with their starters in this one, as they weren’t in action too many of them prior to this event. And for all the backups who played during the preseason, we don’t have too many positive words.
Falcons vs. Cowboys Head to Head
There were 31 games between these two franchises, and the results in the all-time series are 19-12 in favor of the Cowboys.
Falcons vs. Cowboys Predictions
Given that we should see some of the starters on both sides, we are definitely picking over 35.5 points.
