The NFC playoff picture is still wide open, which is no surprise given that it’s only Week 9, but Sunday’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons could prove pivotal in that regard come season’s end. With that in mind, we know that plenty of fans will be looking to make the best Cowboys vs. Falcons picks possible.

Therefore, we’ve got the best bet from our Cowboys vs. Falcons predictions for you PLUS a guaranteed $200 bonus courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook!

 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Falcons Predictions For NFL Week 9, Sunday 11/3

You’d be hard-pressed to find an unbiased fan prior to the season that had the Falcons at the top of their division while the Cowboys were sitting with a losing record heading into Week 9. With that in mind, we see Atlanta as rather clear favorites for Sunday’s matchup as well.

The tricky part about Cowboys vs. Falcons predictions for this week is that we know what Dallas can look like at their best, and we also know that Atlanta has their weaknesses as well. It’s also important to note that this game has the highest total on the board for Week 9.

We’ll be using that information with a bit of a twist for the top pick from our Cowboys vs. Falcons predictions coming up!
 

 

 

Dallas Cowboys: Make Or Break Time

While there are certainly plenty of fans that are already calling the Cowboys season over, at 3-4, they are still far from out of it. However, a third straight loss to fall to 3-5 could spell disaster for sure.

They would have to win out at that point to match their win total the past three consecutive seasons at 12. Even with those impressive regular seasons, they have left plenty to be desired in the playoffs. So, not only is this a make or break game for this season, but it may very well be for even bigger consequences, such as for head coach Mike McCarthy.
 

 

 

Atlanta Falcons: Taking Control

The Falcons already rid themselves of their head coach at the end of last season, and thus far, the new tenure under Raheem Morris has largely gone well. A 5-3 record obviously isn’t perfect, but right now, they are in prime position to take control of the NFC South.

Thanks to a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday, they have swept the season series with their seemingly biggest threat, and now, the Bucs have to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road on Monday Night Football.

So, advancing to 6-3 while Tampa may very well fall to 4-5 would be huge for the Falcons and their fans alike.
 

 

 

Cowboys vs. Falcons Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

We mentioned that the Cowboys vs. Falcons odds had this matchup with the highest total of the week, and you can see the latest lines at DraftKings Sportsbook below:

 

 

Cowboys vs. Falcons Predictions: First Half Over 25.5 Points (-110 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

The twist we mentioned for our Cowboys vs. Falcons predictions was the fact that we’re going to isolate just the first half of this matchup. While we expect a high-scoring contest, we’d rather not sweat out needing to go over such a high game total when we have first half trends that we love.

Let’s start on the Atlanta side of the matchup. The Falcons have been superb in the first half in terms of scoring, as their 14.6 first half points per game are tied for the seventh-best in the entire NFL. Similarly, Dallas has been abysmal defensively in the first two quarters, as their 14.9 first half points allowed per game are the third-most in the league.

Coincidentally enough, the Falcons are right alongside them in that regard, allowing 14.8 points per game in the first half. So, while Dallas’ scoring in the first half hasn’t been as impressive as Atlanta’s, they’re still averaging over 11 first half points per game.

Therefore, we still trust that they can do their part and have the best bet from our Cowboys vs. Falcons predictions of first half over 25.5 points (-110 at DraftKings Sportsbook) come to fruition.
