The Cowboys are Bad

The Cowboys sure look like they are bad and they come into this game with a 3-4 record overall. Against the San Francisco 49ers in the last game they almost made the comeback late, but they couldn’t secure the win. The defense gave up 30 points and they ended up winning by six points. Dak Prescott completed 25 of his 38 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Every game there is one or two bad passes from Prescott that seems to really cost the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys vs Atlanta Falcons Prediction

This game is going to come down to what team has more offensive success and that team is going to be the one with the better quarterback. Prescott can’t move like he once was, and he continues to make a stupid decision a couple of times a game. The Falcons are averaging 24.3 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Falcons are coming out on top. Back the Falcons against the spread here.
