Cowboys:

The betting public strongly favors Houston despite the significant spread, likely due to Dallas missing key starters on both sides of the ball. With Collins returning to boost the Texans' passing attack and the Cowboys missing multiple defensive backs, Houston's offense could have a productive night through the air.
The relatively low total of 41.0 points reflects the Cowboys' quarterback situation and Houston's depleted defensive line, with bettors nearly evenly split on whether this will be a low-scoring affair or if CJ Stroud and the Texans' offense can push the score over.
