BOYS at FALCONS

4:25 p.m., Falcons by 3, 50½

Ezekiel Elliott ran out of reprieves but surely the Cowboys have been preparing for this eventuality every week. It can’t have taken them by surprise. The Cowboys still have Dak Prescott playing his best football and an offensive line that can still open holes. Since David Irving returned from his suspension, the Dallas pass rush has been third-best in the league. We’re also tired of waiting for the Falcons to start looking like last year’s NFC champs. Matt Ryan has been off all year and Julio Jones is nursing an ankle injury. Even a return home after three straight road games doesn’t inspire confidence. Cowboys have won their last three road games by a combined 55 points. Falcons have already lost at home to the Bills and Dolphins.

IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Cowboys and the over.
