About Last Night
How ’bout them Cowboys?
Dallas brought NFL Week 3 to a close with an impressive offensive display against the Philadelphia Eagles, winning 41-21 at home to move to 2-1 on the season. Our Pickswise recommendation of Cowboys -3.5 was never in any danger as Dak Prescott threw 3 TD passes in his first home game since returning from injury.
The Cowboys are +2800 with DraftKings Sportsbook to win the Super Bowl and -185 with FanDuel Sportsbook to win the NFC East. Prescott is the +100 favorite with DraftKings to win the Comeback Player of the Year award.
Calm before the storm in MLB
It was a quiet Monday slate in Major League Baseball with just 5 games. The Mariners scored the most important win of the day, whacking the Athletics 13-4 for their 8th win in their last 9 games. Seattle is 2 games clear of Oakland in the AL wild-card race and now right behind Toronto, Boston and the NY Yankees. The Mariners are +700 with DraftKings to make the playoffs.

They lead the Dodgers by 2.0 games, and they have a favorable matchup in this series against the Diamondbacks. If San Francisco wants to secure the division, they need to take advantage of their opportunity against an Arizona team that enters with a record of 50-106. Read our full preview for this game.
