    At the heart of the NFC\u2019s shifting landscape, the Atlanta Falcons welcome the Dallas Cowboys in what may be the pivotal game for both teams as the NFL nears midseason.<\/p>\n

    For Dallas, Week 9 arrives with a sense of urgency. The Cowboys, reeling from consecutive losses, are dealing with a bruised lineup that includes star linebacker Micah Parsons, among ten others on the injury report. The Falcons’ stakes are equally high, aiming to prove their standing in a conference that\u2019s anyone\u2019s to claim. With both Parsons and Atlanta\u2019s Matthew Judon questionable, these teams are bracing for a matchup defined as much by who\u2019s sidelined as who\u2019s taking the field.<\/p>\n

    Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott faces mounting pressure to deliver. The run game, once a cornerstone of this offense, is waning. Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook, showing their years, have struggled to find daylight, while lead-back Rico Dowdle has been more effective in the passing game than on the ground. With Atlanta favored by a field goal, the Cowboys may find themselves in catch-up mode, leaning heavily on Prescott\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n

    With that said, I will zig and back up the Cowboys here. This is what Dak does. He gets into impossible situations and then puts on a show, and everyone jumps on the “Dak is underrated” bandwagon. I think he pulls that off this week.<\/p>\n

    The Prediction: <\/strong>Cowboys 27 – Falcons 23<\/p>\n

    Best Bet: <\/strong>Cowboys +3<\/p>\n
