Public Spread Bettors of Two Minds

The NFL sportsbook apps are slightly with the Cowboys, setting Dallas as the 1.5-point chalk. Public bettors are also viewing this as a tight game in the NFL betting odds.  But depending upon which metric you use, the people could see it going either way.

In terms of handle, the public is splitting 55% in favor of the underdog Chargers. The Chargers are 2-4 ATS all-time at home against the Cowboys. LA is 3-2 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. The Chargers are also 4-1 ATS in the last five games facing NFC opposition and 6-1 ATS in the last seven games against teams from the NFC East.

When it comes to the spread bet splits, it’s Dallas that is getting slightly better action. The favored Cowboys are pulling 54% of the betting on the spread for this game. Since the start of the 2020 season, Dallas is 10-5 ATS as an away favorite. The Chargers are coming off their bye week. Over the past four seasons the Cowboys are 4-4 ATS when facing a rest disadvantage.

People Going Against Grain With Total Plays

These are two of the NFL’s more explosive offenses. The Chargers are #5 in scoring offense (27.5 points per game), while Dallas is right behind them at #6 (26.8 PPG). Yet it’s the under that the public is taking as the play on the total of 51 points for this game.

The total has gone under in three of the past four games between these two teams. For the season, Dallas is 3-2 on the total, while LA is 2-2. Five of the last six Cowboys games in which the total was 50+ points have gone under. In the last 15 Chargers games with a total assignment of 50 or more points the under has hit nine times. Might want to be taking that under pattern under advisement when eyeing up the Cowboys vs Chargers player props.

Moneyline Splits Like Cowboys Over Chargers

At -125, favored Dallas is also the moneyline favorite in the eyes of the people in the Cowboys vs Chargers picks. There’s 68% of handle and 66% of bets backing Dallas. Since the start of last season, Dallas is 4-4 SU as an away favorite. In the same time frame, LA is 1-1 SU as a home underdog.

The Cowboys are 4-2 SU all-time on the road against the Chargers. That includes a 20-17 triumph in their most recent meeting at LA in 2021. However, Dallas is 2-5 SU in the club’s last seven games on the West Coast. Both wins, though, have come in LA – against the Rams last season and versus the Chargers in that aforementioned 2021 game.
