When the Los Angeles Chargers play the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, they will want to maintain their momentum after having time to get healthy. After winning two straight, the Chargers (2-2) enter the NFL Week 6 clash having had a bye week.

The Cowboys won the most recent game between the Chargers and Dallas, 20-17, in 2021, despite the Chargers having won three of the previous four meetings.

The Cowboys’ ability to cover
Last week’s loss to the Cowboys was due to turnovers and subpar defense, but neither of those problems had existed earlier in the season. The Cowboys’ defense is dangerous, even if the Los Angeles offense is potent. The 49ers are among the greatest teams in the NFL on both ends of the field. With 168.6 yards per game against the pass and 292 total yards, the unit is second in the league overall and against the pass. The front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year, linebacker Micah Parsons, leads a devastating pass rush.
Parsons has four sacks and is second in the league in pressure percentage (22.3%). With 51% of the dropbacks in the NFL, the Cowboys apply the most pressure on the quarterback. Dak Prescott, the quarterback, has four interceptions total and is completing 69% of his passes, albeit he had three versus San Francisco. With 300 yards allowed per game, the Chargers have the poorest pass defense in the league. Prescott (1,061 passing yards) and CeeDee Lamb (358 receiving yards) could take advantage of this weakness.

The Chargers’ capacity to pay
In his six previous games as an underdog, the Chargers are 5-1 against the spread. Quarterback Justin Herbert is 3-1 in his career on Monday Night Football. Herbert has 1,106 passing yards, seven touchdowns, one interception, and is fourth in the NFL in pass completion percentage (71%). Los Angeles is tied for third place in the league with a plus-five turnover differential despite having turned the ball over twice. Keenan Allen, a receiver, has three touchdowns and 434 yards on 35 catches.
Austin Ekeler, a dynamic running back, is slated to return, which should help an attack that is 13th in the league in terms of rushing yards (120) but seventh in terms of overall yards (389 per game). Before hurting his ankle in the first game, Ekeler had 117 running yards. In 2022, he gained 1,629 total yards. Along with Khalil Mack, who had six sacks against the Raiders, pass rusher Joey Bosa (three sacks) is also anticipated to return and torment Dak Prescott. Check out who SportsLine has to support.
