The Records: Cowboys are 8-3 for the season and 8-3 against the spread. Seattle is 6-5 for the season and 4-6-1 ATS.
Coaching Match Up: Cowboys Head Coach Mike McCarthy and Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll are even. Both have won the Super Bowl. McCarthy won NFL Coach of the year in 2007.
Quarterback: Dallas's Dak Prescott and Seattle's Geno Smith. Prescott is having a season that has him in the conversation for NFL MVP. Smith has thrown for 12 TDs and 8 interceptions. Advantage to Prescott.

The Selection: The Cowboys are 5-0 at home and have covered each of those games. The Seahawks have lost 3 of their 5 road games. The Cowboys continue to dominate. Cowboys minus 9 and over.
