Denver Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys Matchup Preview (11/7/21)

Before the Broncos get ready for Sunday’s matchup with the Cowboys, they have to deal with some unfortunate news. Former Super Bowl MVP Von Miller was dealt to the Los Angeles Rams Monday morning.

The move means that the Broncos get two 2022 second-day draft picks, but the Rams are only taking on $700,000 of his $9.7 million salary. It’s a decent deal for both sides, but I’m curious to see if the Broncos have given up on their season.

It’s a fair question to ask, as the Broncos are now just 4-4 and are heading on the road to play the 6-1 Cowboys.

But Dallas has its own problems. At the time of this writing, Dak Prescott is still questionable with an ankle injury. Cooper Rush led Dallas to a big win on Sunday Night Football last week, but can he repeat the magic and move the Cowboys to 8-0 against the spread (ATS) on the season?

Denver Broncos vs. Dallas Cowboys Betting Odds

This line opened at Dallas -7.5 early Monday morning but was quickly bet up to -9, and even -9.5 at some books. This obviously gives a ton of respect to Dallas, who deserve it after covering in seven straight games to start the season.

However, it’s still questionable if Prescott will play this week. Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that he expects Prescott to practice this week, in a limited capacity on Wednesday and then in a full capacity on Thursday. So, I would expect Prescott to suit up for this game.

However, there are two reasons I want to bet on Denver right now.

First: Prescott’s injury could mean the Cowboys are operating at a notch below their normal level. If he’s not 100%, he could struggle against a fairly dangerous Denver defense. 10 points is a lot in a lower-scoring game, especially one with a total below 50.

Second: If Prescott does get ruled out for Week 9, then this line will drop precipitously. So, I’m happy to grab a Denver +9.5 ticket right now, and I believe that will look really good if the Cowboys close at -5.5 with Rush under center.

Plus, none of this mentions that the public is heavily betting Dallas. At the time of this writing, the Cowboys are pulling in over 85% of the tickets. I don’t want to be on that side, and will happily heavily fade the public at a decent-sized number.

My Predictions: Broncos +9.5 (-107 at PointsBet)
