Keys to Victory

The two teams are pretty evenly matched, total yards on offense and passing yards on offense and yards allowed on defense. This game will come down to one thing, the match up between Houston’s defensive line and the Cowboys offensive line.

Quarterback Tony Romo looks comfortable again in the pocket, throwing the ball of his back foot confidently. As long as he gets time to make passes, he can pick apart the Texans’ secondary. That is easier said then done and even though the Cowboys have a solid offensive line, they’ll get a real test with the Texans’ defensive front anchored by J.J. Watt.

Betting Odds

Point Spread: DAL -6
Moneyline: DAL:-265 HOU:+225
O/U: 46.5

Prediction

The Cowboys dedication to a balanced offense has been fueling their success this season. The Cowboys can beat you either way, on the ground and in the rush and DeMarco Murray’s success only opens up opportunities for Romo and the receivers. With things starting to click and a dominant win over the New Orleans Saints, they’ll continue to cruise.

Final Score: Houston Texans: 17, Dallas Cowboys: 35
