The Seattle Seahawks (2-5) and the Dallas Cowboys (3-4) might not be having seasons that match up with their preseason expectations, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t money to be made in Sunday’s 1:00 PM ET game.
Dallas will be the home team where they sport a 2-1 record on the year, while Seattle has amassed just a 1-3 mark when on the road.
The NFL betting odds for this game have seen quite a bit of adjustment since the Cowboys opened at -13 with a total of 42.5.
Dallas has been bet down to -11.5 currently, while the total has gone up 2 points and sits at 44.5.
Close to 60% of tracked NFL bettors are on the Cowboys, so the move against their opening odds is a bit confusing.
Dallas and Seattle last met up in 2009 when the Cowboys grabbed a 38-17 home win as 10-point favorites.
The 2008 meeting didn’t go much different with Dallas at home and winning 34-9 as 11.5-point favorites.
The Cowboys have covered the point spread against the Seahawks in all 5 head-to-head meetings since 2004, while the under has been a winner in 3 of the last 4 between these teams.
Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is listed as probable with a strained pectoral, but the injury is not expected to keep him out of action against the Cowboys.
The Seahawks hold wins over the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants this season, but have tasted defeat against the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, and Cincinnati Bengals.
It has been an up-and-down season for the Cowboys, but they do hold wins over the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, and St. Louis Rams.
Dallas has come up empty against the New York Jets, Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, and Philadelphia Eagles.
