Taking the points with America's Team: Cowboys +3

Our preseason week 1 flyer on the Cowboys cover missed last week. However, we are going back to the well and betting that Dallas can hold within three points in week 2 NFL Preseason action at the Los Angeles Chargers.

Supporting our position, we note that fading home favorites of no more then a field goal and that missed the last postseason has proven immensely profitable versus non-conference opposition that did participate in the prior playoffs.

This system has amassed a hypothetical 31% return on investment since the 2004-05 season, and is 1-0 so far this preseason (following the Rams cover at these very Chargers last week).

We gravitated to the three-point cushion related to playing Dallas for the ATS win, however, more aggressive bettors might consider backing the Boys for the straight up win (+140). See here for our justification for a moneyline play on the Cowboys.

Happy betting!!
