Dallas Cowboys Daily Fantasy Spin
Cowboys reserve tight end Peyton Hendershot was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced fully on Wednesday. He’ll hold a questionable designation heading into Sunday’s game.
Dallas will be without a pair of defensive players for the remainder of the season. Cowboys starting linebacker Leighton Vander Esch will miss the rest of the campaign with a neck injury and Cowboys cornerback C.J. Goodwin will miss the rest of the year with a pectoral injury. Vander Esch had 30 total tackles in 6 games before getting injured and Goodwin had 4 total tackles in 5 contests this season.
Carolina Panthers Daily Fantasy Spin
Panthers starting tight end Hayden Hurst and starting left cornerback C.J. Henderson will both miss Sunday’s tilt with Dallas due to concussions. Hurst has 18 catches for 184 yards and a touchdown this season while Henderson has 35 total tackles and a sack this year.
Panthers linebacker Marquis Haynes Sr. (back) and cornerback Jaycee Horn (hamstring) will both sit on Sunday. Carolina S Xavier Woods (thigh), TE Stephen Sullivan (shoulder), TE Ian Thomas (calf), and WR Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) are all listed as questionable to play on Sunday.

Dallas is 8-11 ATS with the rest disadvantage since the start of the 2016 season.

Teams with a winning percentage of .250 or less are 114-84-3 ATS as a home underdog of 7 points or more over the last 20 years. Carolina has a winning percentage of .111 and is a 10.5-point underdog on Sunday.
Cowboys vs. Panthers Betting Prediction:
The public is hammering the Cowboys due to their blowout win over the Giants at home last weekend. But that win may have been a bit misleading. The Giants were starting Tommy DeVito at quarterback, and his QBR of 11.8 is among the worst in the league. Dallas was also at home last Sunday where they have a point differential of +27.5 points per game. They are a different club on the road. The Cowboys have a point differential of -1.2 points per game away from AT&T Stadium this season.
The Panthers are in a favorable spot here as a double-digit home underdog. Carolina is 6-3-1 ATS as a home underdog since the start of last season, and they are playing a Dallas team who is 9-15 ATS with the rest disadvantage since the start of the 2015 season. It often pays to go against the team that looked a little too good the previous week, and I’m going to do that here. I’m on the Panthers and the points at home this weekend.
