Blogging The Boys
The Dallas Cowboys are fresh off a 33-16 complete victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. Dak Prescott and the offense came back to life as the QB threw four touchdown passes to four different receivers. But it was the defense that showed out compared to past performances, and new defensive tackle Quinnen Williams led the way.
Williams finished with 1.5 sacks, five QB hits and a lot of general disruption in the Raiders backfield. It certainly felt like his presence opened things up for other members of the Cowboys defense.
Now the Cowboys head back to the cozy confines of home at AT&T Stadium to play their arch-rivals, the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are coming off a win over the Detroit Lions and sport an 8-2 record. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for the Eagles. Their offense is a bust lately, scoring only 10 and 16 points in their latest wins. Defense has carried the day.
The Cowboys offense generally plays better at home, and the defensive additions/changes may be paying off. FanDuel has made the Cowboys 3.5-point underdogs at home. The Cowboys fell to the Eagles 24-20 in the opening game of the 2025 season.
What say you BTB? Are those points worth taking and betting on Dallas?
