The Dallas Cowboys achieved their first goal: to advance to the postseason. Important things are always expected from the Texan franchise, but in recent times their performance has left much to be desired. This time they have not suffered to be on the other side before the end of the regular phase.
Despite a 40-34 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15, they got their ticket after the Seattle Seahawks lost to the San Francisco 49ers. Currently, with a 10-4 record, Dallas has qualified for the playoffs for the second consecutive season, and it’s worth mentioning that this is a crazy big one, as it hadn’t happened since 2006 and 2007.
Many fans of the Cowboys are excited, but perhaps this is not the time to get carried away, because, although their participation in the postseason is certain, the challenge they will face will be different. Their destiny is in their hands, and now they must close the regular phase in the best possible way.
On Saturday, December 24, they will once again appear on the gridiron, but this time to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. So, JefeBet has for you the available odds and predictions for this clash.
Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16 of the 2022 NFL Season
Moneyline (-225 from BetMGM)
The Cowboys lost the previous date and cut short their streak of four consecutive victories, which was their second-longest streak this season. However, knowing that their seat in the postseason is secure could give them some peace of mind and confidence to continue recording victories.
The scenario is possibly not the best for Dallas, as they face the best team, the Philadelphia Eagles, who have only one loss in 14 games played. In addition to that, the meeting between the two in October ended up in a victory for the Eagles by a score of 26-17. Neither of the two come with the pressure to win, but the favorite for the bookmakers is the Texan franchise.
Over/Under (46.5 from BetMGM)
Within the NFC East, the Eagles and Cowboys have been the teams with the strongest offenses, with the former registering 411 points scored and the latter 394 points scored. After what these teams have shown in their matches, the favorite for this match is the Over. So let’s hope for a lot of points per side.
Spread ( -4.5 from BetMGM)
Dallas had tied their game against the Jaguars 34-34 in regular time, but in the end, it was a different story in overtime, and they ended up losing by six points with a 40-34 score. A lower margin in the scoreboard is expected for this game, as the teams look evenly matched at the moment.
Dallas Cowboys Futures Odds
Regular Season Wins Over/Under 11.5 (Over -200 / Under +165 from BetMGM)
The Texan franchise has now won 10 games for the second consecutive season, the first time since the 1995 and 1996 seasons. It is the second team with the most wins in its Division; and, although the game against an opponent that hardly loses may not be easy, it could get eleven wins this weekend and maybe, at the end of the season, surpass that.
Cowboys Win the Super Bowl (+1100 from BetMGM)
Coach Mike McCarthy has restored the confidence of the fans in these two seasons. But we must remember that the best part of the campaign is coming and that the Cowboys have not won anything yet, so they have only accomplished the first objective. The balance is positive after 15 weeks of NFL activity, but they are not the favorite to win the Super Bowl. There are five teams considered favorites by bookmakers ahead of the Cowboys.
