Why The Cowboys Could Cover The Spread

The Cowboys have a good offense when they run the ball to set up Lamb and the other receivers. However, it becomes a mediocre offense when they attempt to pass it without running.

Prescott has passed for 3,639 yards, 28 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Now, he will attempt to bounce back from a bad performance. Pollard has rushed 207 times for 848 yards and five touchdowns. However, he may have 51 receptions but does not have a receiving touchdown this season. Lamb has caught 103 passes for 1,306 yards and eight touchdowns. Also, tight end Jake Ferguson has 57 receptions for 614 yards and five scores. Brandon Cooks had 41 catches for 544 yards and five touchdowns.

The defense has been solid for the majority of the season. Significantly, Micah Parsons leads the way with 25 solo tackles and 12.5 sacks. Dorance Armstrong has 15 solo tackles and five sacks. Likewise, Demarcus Lawrence has tallied 24 solo tackles and four sacks. Stephon Gilmore has 43 solo tackles and two interceptions.

The Cowboys will cover the spread if they can establish the running game and make the defense adjust. Then, they need to stop the Dolphins from throwing down the field or running it down their throat. James Cook obliterated them last weekend. Therefore, they cannot allow Mostert to do the same.

Why The Dolphins Could Cover The Spread

The Dolphins are riding high and can actually clinch the division with a win and a loss by the Bills. However, they must take care of their own business before worrying about what their division rivals are doing.

Tagovailoa leads the way with 3,921 yards passing with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Ultimately, he has an excellent running game that helps him set up the pass. Mostert has rushed 198 times for 966 yards and a league-leading 18 touchdowns. Meanwhile, De'Von Achane has rushed 72 times for 613 yards and seven scores. Hill is still not practicing and is questionable for this week. Significantly, the Dolphins need him more this week, as he has 97 receptions for 1,542 yards and 12 touchdowns. Waddle may have to carry the load again and comes in with 71 catches for 964 yards and four touchdowns.

The defense has four playmakers that can make a difference. First, there is Christian Wilkins, who has 28 solo tackles and eight sacks. Zach Sieler has tallied 25 solo tackles and 7.5 sacks. Also, Bradley Chubb has been a monster in the middle and on the edge, with 39 solo tackles and 9.5 sacks. Jalen Ramsey has patrolled the secondary with 10 solo tackles and three interceptions.

The Dolphins will cover the spread if they stop the running game, making the Cowboys one-dimensional. Then, they need to run the ball down the Cowboys' throats.

Final Cowboys-Dolphins Prediction & Pick

The Dolphins are 0-3 against teams with winning records this season. They will find a way to snap that streak and secure a win while also ending a 39-year home losing spell to the Cowboys.

Final Cowboys-Dolphins Prediction & Pick: Miami Dolphins: -1.5 (-102)
