Cowboys vs. Broncos Final Score Prediction

Iain MacMillan broke down this game in his weekly Road to 272 Bets column:

The Denver Broncos have somehow gone 3-0 in their last three games despite getting arguably outplayed in all three of them. They scored just 13 points against the Jets two weeks ago and were shut out through the first three quarters against the Giants.

Now, the Broncos have to take on a Cowboys team that has arguably the best offense in the NFL. Dallas ranks second in EPA per play, third in yards per play (6.1), and ninth in overall DVOA. The Broncos' offense has struggled against bad defenses already this season, so I'm not sure if I have faith in them to put up enough points in this one to keep pace with Dak Prescott and Co.

Pick: Cowboys +150

The Cowboys winning outright wouldn’t surprise me here either. While Denver has won four straight games, they failed to cover as -7 and -8.5 favorites against the Jets and Giants in recent weeks. In fact, the Giants practically handed Denver the game last week.

Dallas got off to a slow start, and is still just 1-3-0 on the road, but its offense is firing on all cylinders and should be able to outscore Denver for the upset.

Final Score Prediction: Cowboys 30, Broncos 27
