It’s usually an entertaining battle when the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys square off, but Week 8’s contest leaves a lot to be desired for a multitude of reasons. Dallas has been ravaged by injuries, headlined by star quarterback Tony Romo and dynamic wideout Dez Bryant. Matt Cassel was given the reigns of the quarterback position in Week 8 and had a day to forget, throwing three interceptions en route to a 27-20 loss to the New York Giants.
- The Seahawks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games against the Cowboys.
- The Cowboys are 11-2 SU and 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games after consecutive losses.
- The home team is 6-1 SU in the last seven games in this matchup.
Seattle’s 3-4 SU record is perhaps even more underwhelming than it looks on paper. Including a 20-3 stomping of the suddenly lowly 49ers, the Seahawks still have some work ahead of them if they want to catch the first place Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West.
The ‘Boys have been atrocious when it comes to covering spreads this season, going 1-5 ATS. Needless to say, Romo and Bryant can’t get back on the field soon enough for Cowboys backers.
