This is the first meeting between these NFL teams since 2020 and the first regular-season matchup in Arlington since 2017.

Offensive lineman Abraham Lucas, running back Kenneth Walker, and receiver Dareke Young are all questionable for Seattle.
Tight end Peyton Hendershot and safety Jayron Kearse are questionable for Dallas.

Seattle’s Offense Is Still In Neutral
Seattle has dropped its last three road games and has just two touchdowns over those contests, and that could factor into the Seahawks vs Cowboys NFL odds.
The Seahawks are 21st in the NFL in total offense, 17th in passing offense, and 26th in rushing this season.
The recent injury to running back Kenneth Walker hasn’t helped with the running game, and injuries to the offensive line have made things more difficult. Walker, who has missed the last two games, has 613 rushing yards and is averaging just 4.1 yards per carry this NFL season after rushing for 1050 yards in 15 games as a rookie.
Seattle ranks near the bottom of the league in rushing attempts, and after a breakthrough season by quarterback Geno Smith, he hasn’t been doing enough to carry the offense.
Seattle is 6-13-1 against the spread in its last 20 games.
Cowboys Thriving At Home
Dallas is one of three teams in the NFL still undefeated at home. The Cowboys have outscored their opponents 205-60 at home. Keep that in mind when looking at the Seahawks vs Cowboys NFL odds.
Quarterback Dak Prescott has completed 78% of his passes as he has thrown for 1555 with 15 touchdown passes and two interceptions.
Leading receiver CeeDee Lamb has 44 catches for 541 yards and five touchdowns in the home wins against the New York Jets, New England Patriots, the Los Angeles Rams, the New York Giants, and Washington Commanders.
Dallas has covered against the Las Vegas odds in five of its last six games.
Last Meeting
DK Metcalf had 110 yards and a touchdown in a 38-31 home victory. A Dak Prescott touchdown pass and then a field goal helped Dallas erase a 15-point deficit.
A 29-yard TD catch by Metcalf with 1:47 gave Seattle the lead. The Seahawks covered as 5.5-point favorites by the NFL point spreads as a Prescott pass was intercepted in the end zone with 14 seconds left to play.
The game went over the 57-point total on a touchdown pass from Prescott to Michael Gallup.
