#465 ASA FREE PLAY ON Dallas Cowboys -10.5 over Carolina Panthers, Sunday at 1 PM ET - Dallas is a bully. They beat up on the teams they are supposed to beat and lose to the teams that are superior to them. Take a look at their scores vs inferior teams this season. They beat the Giants twice by 32 & 40 points, beat the Rams by 23 points, beat the Patriots 35 points, and beat the Jets by 20 points. Their lone poor performance vs an inferior team was @ Arizona back in September. When a heavy favorite, Dallas usually rolls big. They are playing at the top of their game right now as well. Since their bye week the Cowboys have played 3 games and they are averaging 38 PPG. Since week 6 this offense is averaging 42.4 yards per drive which is the best mark in the NFL over that time period. They have scored a touchdown on 37.2% of their drives over that span which is 2nd best in the league. On Sunday they are facing a Carolina defense that is fading fast allowing a league-high 2.42 points per drive over their past five games. How are the offensively challenged Panthers going to keep up in this game? We don’t think they can. Carolina has scored 13, 13, and 15 points in their last 3 games vs defenses ranked 15th, 21st, and 26th in total defense. Now they face a Dallas defense that ranks 3rd in total defense and 4th in YPP allowed. The Boys also put all kinds of pressure on opposing QB’s ranking 4th in the NFL in sack percentage and facing a rookie QB Young who has already been sacked 29 times this season. Bryce Young is 30th in QBR and the offense has trouble running the ball averaging only 90 YPG on the ground. 5 of their 8 losses have come by double digits this season and 5 of the Cowboys 6 wins have come by at least 20 points. This is a hefty number but we just don’t see how the Carolina offense will be able to keep up in this game. Lay it.
