After QB Davis turned away from Mills in favor of Kyle Allen, Texans coach Lovie Smith decided to go back to Mills against the Cowboys. Regardless of the QB, the Texans offense has struggled mightily in 2022 and a wholesale overhaul is ahead in the offseason.
RB Dameon Pierce had a solid season as a rookie, tied for 5th with 198 carries and 8th with 861 yards. Pierce is the lone bright spot for a terrific Houston team that secured the No. 1 draft pick.
The Cowboys, despite QB Dak Prescott and WR CeeDee Lamb, have relied heavily on the run game in 2022. Tony Pollard rushed for 852 yards and Ezekiel Elliott gained 654 yards.
The Cowboys’ ability to score in the run game and in the pass game helped them overcome injuries and inconsistent play on the offensive line. While the Cowboys defense was top-notch, it was weaker against the run against the pass.

Dallas at -2000 is far too large to make a play on and the +950 would be a great payout, but it will not hit. For this reason, neither side is a good play, and it is best to stay away.
