Dallas Cowboys vs Carolina Panthers Prediction
Dallas has received better play at quarterback and on defense, a better pass rush. Carolina is competitive at home, but gives up too many passing yards to contain Prescott and Pickens. If Dallas avoids turnovers, the Cowboys take an early lead and finish strong behind their run game and defense. Final Score Prediction: Dallas Cowboys win and cover ATS 27–20.
