On Saturday (January 5), the Seattle Seahawks battle the Dallas Cowboys in a primetime NFC Wild Card game. The two teams have met multiple times before, with this game for a spot in the next round. Below are some of the trends that analysts are looking at it in terms of the betting odds for the game and how it might go.
Dallas on a roll in last eight games
Heading into this Saturday's game, Dallas is 7-1 straight up in their last eight games. They've also beat the betting spread with a 6-1-1 record in those games. One of those recent wins was the final game of the season, where Dak Prescott played the entire game and they won a game they didn't really need to. There's some momentum.
387 yards. 4 TDs. And an epic final drive for the win. @dak played lights out in Week 17! #DallasCowboys pic.twitter.com/0ZObHpp1K7
