vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Dallas sits at 18th with a -3.343 neutral-field rating, down 1.541 points from last week, and that decline is real given a -2.206 strength of schedule and a defense allowing 27.2 points per game over the last five. The offense is scoring 27.6 per game but the -0.0521 EPA differential says this is a mediocre team propped up by volume, and with DeMarvion Overshown and Decobie Durant both out, the rating already reflects a half-point injury dock. At -3.45 versus the market, Dallas is fairly priced rather than a buy, so I'm treating the Cowboys as a slight sell until the defensive injuries resolve.
