The Dallas Cowboys' fast 2-0 start has impressed the Oddsmakers to the point where they are prohibitive 22.5-point home favorites at most online sportsbooks for Sunday's 1 p.m. inter-conference tilt against the 0-2 Miami Dolphins. A good part of this inflated spread can also be attributed to just how bad the Dolphins have played in their first two games.
The big question heading into this matchup is twofold. First, is Dallas really as good as everyone thinks? Next, is Miami truly as bad as its performance against Baltimore and New England where the Dolphins were outscored 102-10? My guess is no for both questions. The Cowboys are a good team, but it also helped that they faced the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins as part of that 2-0 start. Each of these NFC East opponents is also in the running for a very high draft pick next April.
As part of my NFL coverage for the new sports betting site BettingOdds.com, I broke down this matchup to come up with a "best bet" pick. Three- touchdown spreads are rare at the pro level. That many points can be too tempting to turn down, but you get the feeling that Miami will need them all to cover.
