Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Chargers: Picks

The Dallas Cowboys were blown out last week, but they did play one of the NFL's best defenses in the 49ers. This week, against the Chargers defense, Dak Prescott should bounce back in a big way, so take him to throw over 1.5 passing touchdowns at -135.

Another good pick is Austin Ekeler to record over 49.5 rushing yards, as he is back in action and should be a full go, which makes 49.5 rushing yards seem low.

Cowboys vs. Chargers: Head-to-head

The Dallas Cowboys are 7-5 all-time against the Los Angeles Chargers. They last played in September of 2021 with the Cowboys winning 20-17, which snapped their three-game losing streak.

Cowboys vs. Chargers predictions

The Chargers are getting Austin Ekeler back, but if Joey Bosa can't go, that is a big knock for an already weak defense. Dallas' offense should be able to exploit Los Angeles' defense to get the win and cover the spread.

Predictions:

Dallas edges out a 31-28 win to improve to 4-2 on the season.
