What to do?

Both teams are neck and neck in the power rankings, Warriors and Cowboys are sitting at 10th, so there’s literally no gap there. When we dig into the True Power Score (weighted), the Cowboys just edge the Warriors slightly (9.40 vs 10.20), but it’s razor-thin.

The Cowboys have shown more explosive scoring ability (highest match score of 50 compared to the Warriors’ 36), but the Warriors have been tested against much tougher opponents, facing sides with an average rank of 5.96 compared to the Cowboys’ 11.04.

The Warriors have been much tighter against their opponents, conceding fewer points both raw and adjusted, suggesting if this turns into a grind, the Warriors could really make things ugly and pull off the upset.

Overall, while the Cowboys have a touch more attacking flair, the Warriors’ experience against stronger sides and their stoppage power makes them a very live underdog here, especially at the more juicy even-money odds ($2.00)!

It really is a tough one, but at home… the Warriors for the +1.5 line is a good option bet, but better value option is just going straight for the H-2-H at $2.00.
