Dallas Cowboys at Tennessee Titans Betting Preview
29 December 2022
Week 17 of the NFL season is going to be a big night for many teams throughout the league, and the action kicks off with a big game on Thursday Night Football. The Tennessee Titans host the Dallas Cowboys, and this game will have a big impact on the playoff races in each conference.
Dallas comes into this game having won four of their last five games, and they are one of the betting favorites to win the NFC. The Cowboys are 11-4 overall, and it’s all about getting the best possible playoff seed as they head into the postseason.
Tennessee is heading in the opposite direction, as they have now lost five straight games. The Titans no longer have a lead in the AFC South Division, but they could still win that title if they are able to win the final two games.
The Dallas Cowboys are 10.0-point betting favorites over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football in Week 17.
Defense Coming Around For Dallas
The Cowboys have been a team that is loaded with offensive talent all year long, but it’s the defense that has been taking control of late. Dallas is now holding opponents to just 20.2 points per game, and they will be looking to shut down the run in this one.
Quarterback Dak Prescott is playing at full strength, and he has thrown for over 2,400 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is having a monster season as well, and Dallas has the ability to be explosive.
The Cowboys still aren’t a perfect team, but they are doing enough on both sides of the ball to pick up wins against whatever opponent they face.
Titans Can’t Find Offense
The Tennessee Titans are without quarterback Ryan Tannehill, and he will remain out for the rest of the season. Running back Derrick Henry has rushed for over 1,400 yards and 13 touchdowns this season, but he just doesn’t have much help at this point of the year.
The Titans are also a team that has really struggled to get stops, and that could be the biggest challenge in this game. Tennessee is allowing just 20.5 points per game, but that unit has been struggling to get stops of late.
Titans Battle, Cowboys Win
Derrick Henry has turned into a one-man show on offense for the Titans, but he is still good enough to lead his team to a win. You should expect a big night from Henry in this matchup, but in the end, it just isn’t going to be enough.
Dallas has an offense that is able to score points in a number of ways, and they are eventually going to get some separation in this one. The Cowboys aren’t going to completely take over this game, but they will have enough offense to create some separation.
Take the 10 points and bet on the Tennessee Titans, but it will be the Dallas Cowboys that begin Week 17 by picking up a victory.
