Dallas has the cleaner offensive profile and the better scoring expectation. The Cowboys average 27.7 points per game and 391.9 total yards, with 266.3 passing yards per game and 125.6 rushing yards per game. Tennessee’s offense is much lighter at 16.7 points and 259.6 total yards, which makes it difficult to keep this game close unless Dallas has an unusual turnover night. The Cowboys also profile better at home in yards per play, where they sit at 6.3, while Tennessee’s offense is only 4.4 yards per play overall. The defensive gap supports Dallas as well. Tennessee allows 28.1 points per game and 345.1 yards per game, while Dallas has enough offensive firepower to push past that number without needing a perfect game. Tennessee’s own defense has also allowed 30.1 points per game and 377.0 yards per game, which gives Dallas a second path to separation. With the Titans needing a strong offensive outing to stay inside the number, the Cowboys are the side with the clearer value.
Dallas brings the stronger statistical profile into this game. The Cowboys are scoring at 27.7 points per game and averaging 391.9 yards per game, while Tennessee is stuck at 16.7 points and 259.6 yards per game. Dallas is also much better in passing volume and efficiency, and that matters against a Tennessee defense that has allowed 28.1 points per game and 230.5 passing yards per game. Tennessee’s most workable path is limiting mistakes and keeping the pace slow, but the numbers make that a difficult ask. The Titans are at minus-5 in turnover margin and have only 14 takeaways across 17 games, while Dallas is at minus-9 in turnover margin but still has the more productive offense overall. Tennessee’s 4.4 yards per play and 5.8 yards per play allowed suggest a team that can be pressed by efficient opponents, which fits Dallas well.
Dallas should control this game from the start with the more productive offense, the better home efficiency, and a much wider scoring gap than Tennessee can comfortably overcome. The Cowboys’ passing game and overall yardage output line up well against a Titans defense that has allowed 30.1 points per game, while Tennessee’s offense has been too limited to project a comeback script. A final score around 31-17 gives Dallas the cover and keeps the total just below the number.
