Dallas Cowboys Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV

Everything came together in a big way for the Dallas Cowboys in their home opener after throttling the division rival New York Giants 35-17 to easily cover the closing 7.5-point spread and get out to a 1-0 start to their 2019-20 campaign. With all the offseason drama built up throughout the franchise in the offseason, none of the players looked to be any worse for the wear. Especially Dak Prescott who did his contract negotiations a major solid by putting forth his best single game effort as a member of the franchise. Because of it, many are eager to see what Kellen Moore’s offense has in store for NFL bettors in their Week 2 road tilt against the hated Redskins!

Dallas Cowboys Week 2 Preview

Washington just allowed Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles offense to light it up for 436 total yards with 313 of them coming through the air. The pass defense had very little success preventing DeSean Jackson from zooming right through and past the secondary en route to logging a couple of huge scores, and now it has to deal with a Dallas air attack that made minced meat out of a very young and inexperienced Giants secondary. Wentz was able to register a 121.0 QB rating which paled in comparison to the perfect 158.3 rating Prescott just tallied last Sunday. In other words, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and veteran Randall Cobb are all in line for another banner showing provided it continues to excel in Moore’s new offense.

Surprisingly, early action has been on Washington plus the points. Dallas initially hit the board as lofty 7-point favorites, but that number was available for only a couple minutes before it started heading down south. Big D is currently being offered up at online sportsbooks as 4-point favorites though you have to pay a small price to get them at that current number. Sharp money no doubt played a role with the number down to the current impost regardless of the fact that betting percentages find a healthy 87 percent of the handle in favor of the visiting team. The total has been steamed as well with it up to 47 after initially hitting the betting board at 44. A healthy 78 percent of the wagers taken to this point have come in support of a high scorer playing out in the Cowboys first road test.

These hated rivals split their pair of meetings last season. Washington logged the 20-17 outright win and cover as 1.5-point home underdogs, but the Cowboys avenged that defeat a month later back home where they scored the 31-23 win and cover as 7-point chalk. The low scorer in Washington snapped a string of five straight high scorers in the recent rivalry to move the over to 5-1 the last six times these clubs opposed one another. Dallas had also won five straight and covered its previous four ventures to FedEx Field before just coming up short in last year’s visit to the nation’s capital.

Dallas Cowboys Week 1 Recap

Though things got a bit hairy once the New York Giants took a quick 7-0 lead on their first drive of the game, everything seemingly fell into place for Jerry’s squad which allowed the team to come out smelling like roses. There were a number of performances that stood out. To little surprise, Ezekiel Elliott didn’t have one of them after averaging just 4.1 yards per his 13 overall carries. His touchdown at the end of the third quarter saved his fantasy backers from a truly ugly outing, but it was still noticeably out of shape. It’s likely going to take a number of weeks until Zeke starts looking like his old self once again. Hopefully he avoids any major injuries until then.

Dak Prescott reminded the franchise just how important his talents are. The former Mississippi State Bulldog balled out in a big way after erupting for 405 passing yards and 4 TD while completing 35 of 42 passes without an interception thrown. His biggest beneficiary was second-year wide receiver Michael Gallup who hauled in all seven of his targets and turned them into 158 yards to accrue his biggest outing at the professional level. Amari Cooper got in on the act as well reeling in six of nine targets for 106 yards and 1 TD. Four different receivers reeled in Prescott’s touchdown strikes which includes Jason Witten who looked good in his return to the gridiron. Dallas didn’t turn the ball over. It won the time of possession battle and only committed a grand total of six penalties. Overall, it was a dominating effort for new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore in his debut as the unit’s shot caller.

Though the defense only managed to accrue one sack and conceded 470 total yards, it was still a fine showing. Saquon Barkley is one of the best running backs in the league, so Rod Marinelli’s troops are forgiven for allowing him to log 139 scrimmage yards. However, only 19 of them were accrued through the air so the Cowboys just might be one of the better defenses in the league at limiting dump-offs and screens out of the backfield. Eli Manning did manage to throw for over 300 yards, but most of the yardage was accrued in garbage time and he’s always shown a knack for doing well against the Cowboys. Still, the yardage allowed was more than the Cowboys allowed in any single game last season. There’s some shoring up to do on this side of the ball leading up to this week’s divisional battle against a Redskins team that showed a pulse in Philadelphia.

Past Dallas Cowboys Seasons

The Cowboys entered the NFL as an expansion team for the 1960 season, playing alongside the AFL’s Dallas Texans, who also began play that year. By 1963 the Cowboys would be the only game in town after the Texans relocated to Kansas City. The team failed to win a game in its inaugural season posting a 0-11-1 record, but legendary coach Tom Landry was building a dynasty that took off in 1966. The Cowboys went 10-3-1 that season, losing to the Packers in the NFL Championship, but it started a run of 20 consecutive winning seasons in which they missed the postseason only twice.

During the decade of the 1970s, the Cowboys won a NFL-high 105 regular season games and advanced to the Super Bowl five times. They claimed their first title following the 1971 season, a year after dropping their first Super Bowl game on a last-second Baltimore field goal. The Boys reached the Big Game three times in four seasons later in the decade, taking their second title to complete the 1977 season.

The streak of winning seasons ended in 1986 when Dallas went 7-9. They won just three games the next season and Landry was fired by new owner Jerry Jones. The team’s next successful run began in 1991. With the Big Three of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin, the Boys went 70-26 over the next six years, winning three Super Bowls in a four-year span. They haven’t been back to the Super Bowl since the 1995 season, but their five wins and eight appearances are the second-most in NFL annals.
