The set-up: The 1-1 Dallas Cowboys will travel to Seattle to take on the 1-1 Seahawks Thursday night. Dallas rookie Dak Prescott (Miss. St.) has been outstanding in his first two appearances, completing 22 of 27 attempts (81.5%) for 338 yards with four TD passes and not a single INT. Romo saw his first action of the preseason in Week 2, completing four of five passes for 49 yards. Dallas' expected featured RB, Alfred Morris (formerly of Washington), also saw his first action last week, rushing for 85 yards on 13 carries while scoring once. While the Cowboys have scored 65 points in their first two games, the Seahawks have just scored only two TDs in their first two games and both of those TDs have come in the fourth quarter.

The pick: The Cowboys' OL is the team's strength and has made Prescott look good but Romo will be playing behind the first-team OL for more time this week and let's see how Prescott fares later in the game. Will Dallas really risk Romo for two quarters or more (typical for Week 3's ‘dress rehearsal' game) with his injury history against a quality Seattle defense? Meanwhile, Seattle's first-team offense and QB Wilson in particular, has really struggled. During the first two weeks so far, Seattle has scored just six points (two FGs) before the fourth quarter. The team's two TD drives have been led by rookie QB Boykin, one coming on the game's final play of regulation in Week 1.

Carroll's impressive preason ATS record of 25-15-3 makes it difficult to bet against the Seahawks but the under sure looks like a strong play. make it a top rated 10*.
