This is a 10* NFC TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the UNDER Dallas/Seattle.
So far in the early going, these two teams have been poor defensively and great on the offensive end.
But I think that trend changes drastically this week. The Cowboys already struggled with consistency on the road this year vs. another NFC West team, falling 20-17 at the Rams in Week 1.
Dallas then played from behind almost the entire game in its 40-39 win over the Falcons last weekend. The Cowboys got into an early massive hole and had to fight the entire time.
After that emotional and draining win, I expect a much more conservative game-plan in this difficult road venue.
The Cowboys also looked a lot better defensively in the second half vs. the Falcons, allowing just ten points, after conceding 29 in the first.
And Seattle has so far seen both total go OVER the number. The Hawks won 38-25 in Atlanta, before then holding on for an emotional 35-30 home win of their own over the Patriots last weekend.
These two teams were expected to be much improved defensively this season, but that's so far not been the case at all.
But this is the week that changes in my opinion. I don't think Seattle wants to turn this into a "shootout," so expect to see a lot of running and crossing routes from Russell Wilson and company.
Note as well that the Hawks have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten home games after allowing 30 or more points in a home victory in their previous outing.
This one has "UNDER" written all over it!
Good luck, NP
