Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys
Friday, 8:00 pm Eastern – CBS

SBG Global Opening Line: Cowboys - 6 , Total 40.5

The real Dallas Cowboys may finally make more than a token appearance on Friday night when they host the Houston Texans. The Cowboys haven’t played their starters much in the first two preseason games and lost to San Diego and to Denver. The starters will get a lot more action on Friday and the Cowboys are favored to get their first preseason win of the year. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Cowboys at Home.

Dallas is expected to play quarterback Tony Romo, wide receiver Terrell Owens and the rest of the first strong offense at least the first half on Friday. The starting defense should get a similar amount of time. The Cowboys are more focused on this preseason game than on either of the first two. "We started working on things that we're going to work on and play in the ballgame that's coming up rather than things you're going to play throughout the year," head coach Wade Phillips said, "We were more specific about the things we wanted to do this ballgame rather than looking long-term."

SBG Global Current Line: Cowboys - 5 , Total 41.5

The Texans have looked good this preseason winning both of their games against Denver and New Orleans. Quarterback Matt Schaub has been virtually flawless going 18-21 for 216 yards and two touchdowns. The Texans will be focused more on the running game on Friday than anything else. Starting running back Ahman Green is injured and could actually be released which means the starting job is up for grabs between Chris Brown, Marcel Shipp and rookie Steve Slaton. Star wide receiver Andre Johnson is questionable for this game.

The Cowboys and Texans have met six times in the NFL betting preseason with each team winning three games. Dallas and Houston have met every year in the since the Texans became a franchise in 2002, four times in the preseason and twice in the regular season. Each team has won all three of their home games in the series. The last time the two teams played at Texas Stadium in the preseason was in 2005 when the Cowboys won by a score of 21-9. Last year in Houston, the Texans got the 28-16 victory.
