Dallas Cowboys at Tennessee Titans Final Betting Prediction
11 points is a lot, but the Texans disrupted Malik Willis all day, forcing the former Liberty college star into 3 interceptions. Willis could improve and he’d still throw at least 1 pick in this game.
Dallas leads the NFL with 30 takeaways. Dan Quinn’s defense is going to dominate Willis. The Cowboys will put an eighth in the box to force Willis to throw. So the Henry strategy won’t matter much in this game.
Tennessee is in danger of losing out. The Titans have one foot on the boat for a January fishing trip. We should expect the Cowboys to win this matchup by at least 13.
