OUR PICK: Six points is a lot to cover in a preseason game. Even if the Seahawks’ starters outplay the Cowboys’ starters in the first half, it’s doubtful that their backups will outpace Dallas’ backups enough in the second half to pull away. Usually preseason point spreads fall between a pick’em and 3.5 points, so getting six points with a Dallas team that racked up 41 points a week ago seems like a gift.
