Tonight we have an exciting matchup for Thursday Night Football. These teams are trending in two opposite directions right now. The Cowboys have won 3 straight games by double digits (Giants, Panthers, Commanders). Seattle has lost 2 consecutive games (Rams & 49ers), and are 1-3 in the month of November. The Seahawks scored 16 points or less in 3 of those 4 games. This is the highest point total for the Seahawks all season, and the 2nd highest total for the Cowboys (49.5 total against Chargers). Dallas has an explosive offense, but they also have the top scoring defense in the NFL by a wide margin. The Cowboys defense has played a key part in a lot of their games that have gone over the scoring total. They have 6 total defensive touchdowns this season. A big key for Pete Carroll and the Seahawks tonight will be preventing the Dallas defense from putting points on the board. The Seahawks have passed the ball 64% of their offensive plays this season. However, don’t be surprised if you see a slightly more conservative gameplan tonight from Pete Carroll. This is an extremely important game for both of these teams. Both have tough divisional matchups next week. The strength of the Seahawks defense is in pass coverage, which is the strength of the Cowboys offense. Seattle has failed to protect Geno Smith, and Smith has not performed well under pressure this season. Geno has a passer rating in the 60’s when pressured. It’s hard for us to see a path to the Seahawks lighting up the scoreboard. We expect points to be at a premium on the Seattle side. The Seahawks defense isn’t an elite unit, but they should perform much better than some of the recent secondaries this Cowboys team has faced. Our wager is a half unit on under 47.5 total points to be scored. Enjoy the game!
