This is an obvious one. Since Cowboys QB Dak Prescott will now be out for multiple weeks due to a thumb injury, the Cowboys shifted from one-point favorites to considerable home underdogs instantly and the line might move towards the +/- 10 range as the week goes on.'

The Cowboys looked absolutely terrible in their 19-3 Week 1 loss to the Buccaneer s, especially on offense, where they averaged an embarrassing 3.8 yards per play and 244 total yards (including 71 rushing despite having Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard). They also went just 3-for-15 on third down and committed 10 penalties. Now, they'll turn to Cooper Rush at quarterback for this Week 2 contest. That's bad news for them.

Despite having numerous opportunities to beat the Steelers in Week 1, the Bengals failed over and over again and ended up losing 23-20 in overtime. Joe Burrow had arguably the worst game of his NFL career and turned the ball over five times (4 interceptions) as he was under constant duress from Pittsburgh's pass rush. Regardless, it's clear that this Bengals team is in a great bounce-back spot here against the Dak-less (and identity-less) Cowboys.
