(BetMGM/WGR 550) - The Dallas Cowboys’ Week 14 game against the Philadelphia Eagles was the 33rd late-season start (i.e., ninth game of the season or later) of Dak Prescott’s career against an opponent that entered the game with a record of .500 or better.
The Cowboys covered as a 3.5-point favorite in the 20-point win. It was their fifth win against the spread (ATS) in their last eight opportunities within that trend. Before this stretch, the Cowboys were 11-14 in those games, including 3-7 since December 2018.
Against sub-.500 teams, it’s a different story: 14-6-2, including 11-4 since December 2018.
Prescott’s counterpart in Week 14, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, has been equally good against sub.-500 teams (13-6-3), but until recently, much better in games against teams at .500 or better. After starting his career 9-4-2, Allen is 3-5 since November 2022. Last week’s win against the Kansas City Chiefs was just the second cover in the last six opportunities.
As of Tuesday’s NFL odds at BetMGM, the Bills are a 2.5-point home favorite against the Cowboys. Barring dramatic line movement, it’ll be just the third Cowboys’ game this season as an underdog.
