Cowboys Try To Keep the Heat on Eagles In NFC East Chase
The Dallas Cowboys are not out of the hunt in the NFC East race. They play host to the Philadelphia Eagles later in the season and want to remain within striking distance of Philly as the season winds toward the home stretch.
Dallas moved to 8-3 with a win over the New York Giants last week, putting the Cowboys in the top Wild-Card position in the NFC and moving them ahead of the Giants for second place in the division.
Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts have endured a nightmarish season. They will try to pull off the big upset in Dallas this Sunday night. Which team is the best option versus the NFL betting odds?
Let’s check the latest NFL odds, stats, injury reports, and NFL lines for Colts vs Cowboys. We’ve plenty of Vegas NFL odds and NFL week 13 picks for you to consider.
Colts vs Cowboys Betting Lines
Colts Continue To Stumble on Offense Following Coaching Change
The Colts fired Frank Reich in the middle of the season and replaced him with former Colt offensive lineman Jeff Saturday. The team won Saturday’s debut against the Las Vegas Raiders but have stumbled in recent weeks, losing at home to the Eagles and the Steelers.
The refrain is the same for the Colts in nearly every game this season: their offensive line just can’t do anything. Matt Ryan doesn’t have time to throw and the running game doesn’t work.
In their 24-17 loss to the Steelers on Monday Night Football, Jonathan Taylor managed 86 rushing yards and Ryan finished with 199 passing yards and an interception. That’s simply not good enough for a team whose offensive line was a lot better in 2021 but has regressed rather dramatically this year.
Those who bet online know that the defense is decent but not spectacular. The offense was supposed to be more than good enough to win, and instead, it has been well below average in 2022.

Cowboys Need To Be Much More Consistent
The Cowboys are in a cycle where they play one good half and one bad half. They played a good half against the Green Bay Packers, but they also played a bad half and lost a 14-point lead in Green Bay, ultimately losing the game in overtime.
This past Thanksgiving, the Cowboys played a bad first half, falling behind 13-7 at halftime to the New York Giants. Dak Prescott threw two interceptions. The Cowboys got in their own way, but they also were down only six despite playing horribly.
They cleaned things up in the second half, scoring three straight touchdowns and winning 28-20. The Cowboys finished with 430 total yards and held the Giants to 300. Dallas overcame those two interceptions and finished with 34 minutes time of possession to just 26 for the Giants.
Dallas looked like an elite team in the second half of the game. The first half featured a team that played like a sub-.500 ballclub. The good Cowboys need to show up for a full game, not just a half, if this season is going to be successful. If they do, they’ll cover the spread in the sportsbook.

Colts vs Cowboys Picks & Prediction
Predicted Score: Cowboys 27, Colts 10
- Worth betting on the Moneyline?
– Not straight up. You would obviously want to fold this moneyline pick into a parlay and combine it with something else. The Cowboys very likely win for your NFL picks but the price is high here.
- Worth to bet ATS?
– There’s a dramatic difference between these teams. Dallas could easily blow the doors off the Colts and win by double the actual spread. Would it really be that surprising if the Cowboys won this game by a score of 31-10 or 34-13? An 11-point spread seems too low.
A 14.5-point spread seems a lot more reasonable for this game in terms of arriving at a point where it’s hard to decide which way to lean. At 11, the Cowboys look like the much better pick.
- Worth betting on the Totals?
– No. The total is well-placed for this game.
