Dallas Cowboys Team Overview
Last game, the Dallas Cowboys won 33-17 against the Cleveland Browns as 2.5-point road dogs. The game went over the total of 42. Dallas has a record of 1-0 straight up, 1-0 against the spread, and 1-0 over/under the total. Dallas ranks 19th for total offense, 13th for passing, 17th for rushing, and 5th for scoring.

Also, Dallas ranks 1st for fewest turnovers lost and 1st for takeaways. Dak Prescott barely had time to celebrate getting the biggest contract in NFL history before learning it came with a price. To show, his teammates want Rolex watches! Prescott threw a touchdown pass hours after agreeing to a four-year, $240 million contract with Dallas. And then the Cowboys’ defense roughed up Deshaun Watson in his return, throttling the Cleveland Browns 33-17 in their opener Sunday.
Indeed, Prescott’s deal makes him the first player to average $60 million per season. Also, it ends months of speculation about his future with the Cowboys, who have won 12 games in each of the past three years with him. Last week, Prescott, who was coming off his best season and entering his final year under contract, said he wanted to be the quarterback. Specifically, he wants to finally end the team’s Super Bowl drought. Now, he’ll have time to try.
Namely, Brandon Aubrey kicked field goals of 57, 50, 46, and 40 yards for Dallas. Prescott’s deal came just two weeks after the Cowboys gave wide receiver CeeDee Lamb a four-year, $136 million contract. Lamb sat out all of training camp before the sides reached an agreement.
