NFL Week 6 Picks

Texans Colts

Dallas Cowboys (+8.5) at Seattle Seahawks

Is this spread a function more of people failing to buy into Dallas or loving the Seahawks at home? The biggest concern with large spreads is usually the fear that, if one team pulls away, the other cannot catch up. That hardly seems likely with the Cowboys’ offense.

Seattle continues to prove why it is worthy of ‘Repeat Super Bowl Champion’ talk, and they should win at home on Sunday, but the Cowboys are well capable of matching Seattle down to the waning minutes. Unfortunately for Dallas, history has shown that it is not necessarily capable of winning such games in the end.

Seattle wins by a field goal, but Dallas beats the spread.
