Houston at Dallas

Houston's emphasis has been on upgrading the offensive line and they've rushed for 168 and 138 yards in two NFL Preseason games, averaging 4.8 and 4.4 yards per carry. Running the pigskin chews up yards and the clock. They head to Dallas, a team that never shows anything on offense in the first two weeks of preseason under coach Jason Garrett. In the opener they lost 17-9 at San Francisco with 55 yards rushing on 18 carries (3.1 ypc) and last week topped the Rams (14-10) with just 251 total yards. The offense is 7-of-30 on third and fourth down. Pro Bowl WR Amari Cooper (heel) will not play in any preseason games. In their last six August contests, the Cowboys have averaged 11 points per game. At least the defense is strong, holding the 49ers to 4-of-12 on third down and the Rams to 67 yards rushing, 4-of-15 on third down. Look for more punts and field goals than TDs. Play this one to finish UNDER.
