Just as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones loves to see, his team is once again in the spotlight as the only game of the Friday NFL preseason Week 3 slate that is featured on NFL Network. They’ll be hosting the Atlanta Falcons to wrap up their 2025 exhibition games, which means that we’re here to provide you with our best Falcons vs. Cowboys predictions.

We’ve also paired the best bet from our Falcons vs. Cowboys picks with the brand new Novig promo code bonus - perfect for fans in Atlanta and Dallas that can’t legally use traditional sportsbooks!

Falcons vs. Cowboys Predictions For NFL Preseason Week 3, Friday 8/22

Where do we even begin with the Cowboys? Any game involving Dallas brings more intrigue than others, and frankly, that’s exactly what owner Jerry Jones wants. After all, even he is outspoken about being more of a soap opera than anything else.

That’s not to say that the team doesn't have talent - they do. Of course, the question marks surrounding the Cowboys are postseason success, not preseason. We even see Dallas favored in the latest Falcons vs. Cowboys odds for Friday, but like most exhibition games, that doesn’t matter; it could certainly go either way.

What isn’t up in the air is who we’ll see under center for these teams. Don’t get confused by both teams releasing new depth charts on Tuesday - that doesn’t mean starters for this game. Therefore, it’s crucial to point out that starting QBs Michael Penix for Atlanta and Dallas’ Dak Prescott won’t be under center on Friday.

That means we now get to lock in Falcons vs. Cowboys predictions on a game featuring a QB matchup of recently-signed Ben DiNucci and second-year Joe Milton.
 

 

 

Falcons vs. Cowboys Best Bet: Under 35.5 Points (-109 At Novig)

Given that matchup, we’re going to avoid needing to trust either team to come out victorious. Instead, the focus of our Falcons vs. Cowboys picks is on a lower-scoring game. Given the relatively low total, it may be a tough one to swallow, but we aren’t concerned.

It’s for good reason due to both the QB matchup and how these teams have historically looked in the preseason. After drafting Michael Penix Jr, the Falcons were shut out in their first preseason game, followed by games of just 12 and 13 points. That makes their average of 15 points per game this preseason look Super Bowl-esque.

Similarly, the Cowboys scored just 13 points last weekend, which was also at home. Admittedly, they allowed a former Dallas QB - Cooper Rush - to have a nice game, but we don’t expect the same from DiNucci.

We have an Atlanta defense that is one of the healthiest units in the entire NFL, and with plenty to iron out, this is their opportunity to do so. Even with the Dallas D without Micah Parsons, we’re still comfortable with taking the under 35.5 points (-109 at Novig) as the best bet from our Falcons vs. Cowboys predictions.
