Dallas Strikes First

The Cowboys orchestrated a long opening drive, which was helped out by a fourth-down pass interference call, to take a 7-0 lead on a four-yard touchdown run by Tony Pollard.

Los Angeles' defense couldn't muster a stop, but Dak Prescott spread the ball to five different receivers on the drive. Dallas is now the favorite (-125) on the moneyline and a 1.5-point favorite on the spread.

Trevon Diggs Makes Huge INT

Justin Herbert tried to return the favor with a big play to Keenan Allen, but Trevon Diggs stopped the momentum with a clutch interception.

Dallas is now a 2.5-point favorite at WynnBET and -145 on the moneyline. The Chargers are +115 on the moneyline.

Asante Samuel Jr. Returns the Favor

Prescott was unable to take advantage of the Diggs interception, as he was promptly picked off by Asante Samuel Jr. on the following drive.

Chargers Get on the Board

Los Angeles took advantage of the interception by Samuel Jr., turning it into a field goal. Still, Dallas' defense did a nice job to hold on and avoid giving up a touchdown after the turnover.

The teams are deadlocked at -115 on the moneyline at WynnBET.

Zeke Gives Dallas a Commanding Lead

Ezekiel Elliott's struggles in Week 1 of the season are starting to become an afterthought, as the star running back has eight carries for 29 yards and a score in the first quarter. The touchdown gave Dallas a 14-3 lead.

Dallas has moved to a 3.5-point favorite and at -200 on the moneyline to get the road win. The total has also soared to 60.5.

Mike Williams Finds the Pylon

The Chargers nearly turned the ball over again, but a Dallas interception was waived off because of a pass interference call.

Herbert and Mike Williams made sure it didn't go to waste, hooking up two times on the drive, with the second ending in a score. Brandon Staley rolled the dice and went for two, and the Chargers converted to bring it within three at 14-11.

The score moved the total all the way up to 63.5, with both teams on fire to start this one.

Mike McCarthy's Gamble Doesn't Pay Off

The Dallas head coach decided to let his offensive go for it on fourth-and-five from the Chargers' 41-yard line, but Samuel came up and broke up the pass play to give the ball back to Dallas.

The Chargers are now back to 1.5-point favorites and are -145 on the moneyline, while Dallas is +115 on the moneyline at WynnBET.

Dallas Nearly Pulls Off Lateral Play at Half

The Cowboys almost pulled off a wild lateral play, after a crazy run by CeeDee Lamb, but they still lead 14-11 at the half.

Holy smokes that was close.

WynnBET has Dallas as the favorite at the half at 2.5 points, but you can still get the Chargers at even money, +100, to win this one outright at home. It's worth noting that the Chargers came-from-behind to win in Week 1.

Tristan Vizcaino Ties It Up

The Chargers converted a few long third downs to get back into field goal range early in the third to tie the game at 14.

The Chargers are now -125 favorites on WynnBET to take the win, but the total has slipped to just 50.5 after opening at 56.5.

Derwin James Makes His Presence Felt

The Chargers Pro-Bowl safety came up with a huge hit on CeeDee Lamb to force a third and long, but he wasn't done.

James came right up the middle on third down to sack Dak Prescott and force a punt by Dallas.

Herbert Picked in End Zone

Herbert had a chance to give the Chargers the lead, but he was picked in the end zone on this throw:

Dallas is now a -200 favorite to get the win on WynnBET.

Greg Zuerlein Give Dallas the Lead

Greg Zuerlein drilled a 34-yard field goal to give Dallas the lead with 10:25 to play in the game. Dallas' odds remained at -200 to win with the total at 44.5.

Chargers' Mistakes Stalls Drive

The Chargers had a touchdown called back on an illegal shift, and they followed that with a huge loss on a Justin Herbert sack (it was a questionable whistle).

Los Angeles still tied the game on a field goal, but it is still a +120 underdog on WynnBET.

Greg Zuerlein Wins It for Cowboys, Dallas Bettors

Greg Zuerlein drilled a 56-yard field goal for Dallas as time expired to get the Cowboys to 1-1 and cover the 3.5-point spread.

Dallas bettors rejoiced as Zuerlein made an absolute bomb to upset the Chargers on the road.
