Dallas has been a poor preseason team for decades no matter the coach and Mike McCarthy is no different as he lost all four games in 2021 without covering the spread in any of them and the Cowboys lost last week 17-7 to Denver and looked even worse than the final score indicates. The Cowboys were flagged for 17 penalties for 129 yards. Cooper Rush started and was 12 of 20 for 84 yards with an interception. Ben DiNucci was 9 of 16 for 112 yards for the Cowboys, who did hold the Broncos to just 39 yards on the ground on 22 carries. Dallas has gone UNDER eight of its past nine preseason games and Los Angeles has stayed UNDER six of its past eight, including all three last year. Los Angeles lost to the Rams 29-22 in Week One and it went with backups Eastin Stick, who completed 16 of 23 for 119 yards with one interception and Chase Daniel, who went 11 of 17 for 117 yards. The Cowboys have averaged only 10.8 points their past five preseason contests. Take the Chargers and the UNDER.
