Falcons vs Cowboys Preseason Betting Prediction
The Falcons vs Cowboys preseason matchup in Week 3 on August 22 presents bettors with an intriguing clash of strengths and weaknesses. From a betting perspective, this preseason game may come down to whether you trust Atlanta’s offensive production or Dallas’ historical success in this head-to-head rivalry. The Falcons have been brutal for bettors, failing to cover spreads and consistently losing on the road in August. On the other hand, Dallas has been a stronger bet on Fridays and tends to deliver in preseason games against NFC South competition. With both teams trending toward higher-scoring contests recently, bettors may want to consider the total as the more reliable angle rather than picking a side outright. The Cowboys appear to have the edge, but Atlanta’s offensive efficiency gives them the potential to surprise if they protect the football.

Falcons vs Cowboys Preseason Betting Prediction: Atlanta
Atlanta has shown consistent struggles against the spread, going just 1-8-1 in their last ten games, and failing to deliver results on the road during August. Despite those concerning betting numbers, Atlanta’s offense should not be overlooked. Ranking inside the top ten for both passing and rushing yards per game, the Falcons have the potential to keep games close if they can limit turnovers and avoid their usual late-game collapses. However, history shows that Atlanta has been particularly poor when facing NFC East opponents, and that trend could continue here.
