Cowboys vs Seahawks Predictions
Score Pick: Seahawks 28, Cowboys 17
Seattle has a strong second-unit offense led by QB Drew Lock that should be able to keep steady production throughout the game. On the other hand, Dallas struggled to contain Jacksonville last week and allowed two fourth-quarter scoring drives.
Expect Lock and Holton Ahlers to find similar success as they lead the Seahawks to victory.
Cowboys vs Seahawks Best Bets & Props
Seahawks +7 (-105)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit
The Seahawks were well-balanced in their attack against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the preseason and found success in various ways. With the first unit offense getting time early in the game, plus the well-roundedness of RB Bryant Koback for the running game, Seattle should be able to control this game and cover as favorites as my NFL pick of the day.
Seahawks to Win by 7-12 (+360)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.5 units
The preseason tends to have more variance from week to week regarding team performances, but there also tends to be a cap on the scoring differences in these games. The Seahawks likely can win this game by over a score, but the Cowboys have enough offensive firepower to keep it from getting out of hand, so a safe 7-12 point win range could be a nice investment for a quality return.
Over 40.5 (-108)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit
Both offenses had similar levels of success in passing production that should allow for the necessary scoring to take place in this second week of preseason football. While both teams have quality starting QBs, both squads also have high-end second- and third-string passers that should keep the game flow going as both teams work to produce in later parts of the contest.

- SEA Seahawks -7 (-105)
- Over 40.5 (-108)
Both teams showed promising signs of life in their preseason openers, but the Seattle Seahawks have the depth and passer-friendly scheme to keep control of this contest and cover the seven-point spread. However, the Cowboys have a solid collection of offensive weapons that should make this game high-scoring enough to cover the 40.5 line placed on it.
