Dallas Cowboys vs Atlanta Falcons
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Dallas Cowboys vs Atlanta Falcons is a cross-division NFC test that could swing the conference picture. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Dallas Cowboys at 74% to Atlanta Falcons's 26%, spread DAL -3.5.
Tactically, Dallas Cowboys will want to lean on explosive passing to attack Atlanta Falcons, whose secondary is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Atlanta Falcons's strong line could punish Dallas Cowboys if depth goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Brian Schottenheimer and Raheem Morris, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Dak Prescott (QB) and Michael Penix Jr. (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Cowboys get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
