4. Cowboys wideout Amari Cooper has a big day at Seattle

So far in 2020, Amari Cooper has had a successful year catching the pigskin. Based on a two-game sample size, Cooper is on pace to snag 1,448 receiving yards. It’s a lofty assumption that he will continue this pace, but his start to the season has been admirable.

However, he has not found the endzone. This is certainly not causing alarm, but to put in bluntly, he’s due. Against the Seattle Seahawks, Cooper will ride the momentum of a scorching-hot Dak Prescott and hit paydirt at least twice. While it’s true that Cooper splits targets with Michael Gallup and rookie CeeDee Lamb, this will be the game that he breaks out.

The Seahawks are dumbfoundingly allowing 416 passing yards per game to start the 2020 campaign. Unless this is wholly rectified on the fly against a prolific aerial team in the Cowboys, Prescott and his pals will have gobs of fun in Seattle. Normally, that would be the blueprint for a Dallas victory. Russell Wilson, though, will have different plans.

Expect this game to follow the shootout pattern of the previous two Seahawks games vs. Atlanta and New England. Cooper will be one of the benefactors.
