Cowboys vs. Chargers Prediction: Dallas Too Thin at Receiver for Preseason Win

No team had a worse showing in Week 1 of the preseason than the Dallas Cowboys. Mike McCarthy’s team was heavily penalized and only managed seven points against the Denver Broncos. Now, they face the Los Angeles Chargers at Sofi Stadium. The Chargers enter at 0-1 as well, but in a much better place heading into this week. 

Dak Prescott did not see the field a week ago, and neither did Justin Herbert. They will both likely see the field this Saturday in Los Angeles.

Let's check out the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook for this late-night matchup in LA.

Cowboys vs. Chargers Best Bet and Prediction

The Cowboys were a mess a week ago and Mike McCarthy is not the man I would trust to clean up a mess in aisle nine of the grocery store, let alone an NFL franchise. Dallas is banged up at receiver and hoping for Michael Gallup and James Washington to be healthy by the start of the season. They watched Cedrick Wilson Jr. walk out the door in the offseason and shipped Amari Cooper to Cleveland for scraps. Now, behind CeeDee Lamb there are a lot of question marks. 

Ben DiNucci and Cooper Rush will see most of the snaps at quarterback for Dallas and without any depth at wide receiver, they will continue to struggle to move the ball. 

The Chargers have one of the best rosters in the league top to bottom and a much more stable situation behind Justin Herbert. Chase Daniel knows how to move an NFL offense and other than the regular season starters will be the best quarterback in the game. 

Pick: Chargers -3 (-110)
