"It may be hard to drum up interest in the Dallas Cowboys Week 16 game against the Los Angeles Chargers at AT&T Stadium. After the Cowboys faceplanted against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15, the team's playoff hopes became microscopic. Barring some kind of Christmas miracle, the Cowboys will be sitting at home once the NFL tournament begins at the end of the season. If that Christmas miracle were to happen, beating the Chargers next Sunday would certainly be a part of it. Even if you know in your heart that the Cowboys' season is a done deal, you can still make the game interesting by wagering a little cash on the outcome."
"As such, we bring you the latest line on the Cowboys and Chargers game from our friends at FanDuel. They have the Cowboys as 1.5-point favorites, but only because the Cowboys are the home team. That built-in advantage is the only reason a 6-7-1 team would be favored over a 10-4 team. What's your take BTB? Is there any way you would bet on the Cowboys and give points to the Chargers?"
The Cowboys play the Chargers in Week 16 at AT&T Stadium with notably low interest after a damaging loss to the Vikings left playoff hopes microscopic. A Christmas-miracle scenario would require a win over Los Angeles to keep postseason possibilities alive. Betting offers a way to make the game engaging despite likely elimination. FanDuel lists the Cowboys as 1.5-point favorites, a margin driven chiefly by home-field status rather than team records. The line emphasizes the contrast between a 6-7-1 Cowbows squad and a 10-4 Chargers team and invites opinion on wagering choices.
