A lighter lineup of choices this week due to scheduling of Covers analysts but there are a couple big ones as well as some under the radar games.
This thread will follow the same outline as previous weeks. Vote on the matchup YOU want to see analyzed.
We are always looking to bring our community the best betting information and analysis in the industry. One way we’re looking to do this is by bringing more perspectives into the Covers Forum. This NFL season we will be hosting a thread each week in the NFL Betting Forum where one of our sports betting analysts will break down a game for everyone. The best part of this will be the open ended communication that is encouraged to take place from community members. This is your chance to ask our analysts 'how', 'why', 'what' and 'to describe' anything in their analysis. What makes it more valuable is you and the rest of the Covers community will get to vote one the matchup of the week.
Some other notables:
-Weekly polls will open on Fridays for the following week’s matchups.
-Weekly polls will close Monday’s after the primetime game.
-Covers analysts will be following most games but not every game. We have freelancers who follow these other games who, unfortunately, won’t be able to host forum threads.
-Thursday games will not be available to choose from. We want to give our analysts at most a week’s notice and since the poll will be posted on Friday’s this doesn’t work out.
We're really excited about this event and we hope it will provide you some valuable information each week.

The Cowboys have reeled off three-straight wins and going 3-0 ATS during that span since losing Dak. Although Rush isn't spectacular, he's thrown for over 200 yards in each start with 0 turnovers. The Cowboy's defense has held their opponents to 14.3 points per game and 4.3 yards per play over the last 3 contests.
Now they face a struggling Rams offense that had under 4.0 yards per play in Weeks 1 and 4. The Rams' ground game has been mediocre and the passing game has become far too reliant on Cooper Kupp, but the biggest problem has been their offensive line. Left tackle Joseph Noteboom has struggled since taking over for the retired Andrew Whitworth. With backup center Coleman Shelton joining injured starter Brian Allen on the sidelines, L.A. could have third-string Jeremiah Kolone at the pivot.
That's bad news against a scary Dallas pass rush that's tied for second in the NFL in sacks and ranks second in pressure rate. I'll take that defense and the Cowboys' momentum with the points against a Rams offense that's looked stagnant.
Oddsmakers are also possibly overvaluing home-field advantage in this one since the Cowboys have long held training camp in Southern California, and a large contingent of their fans made it feel like a home game when they faced the Chargers at SoFi last year.
