What's The Spread on the Dolphins vs. Cowboys Game Week 3

The spread on the Miami Dolphins vs. Dallas Cowboys game was anywhere from Dallas -22 to -23 depending on the books.  The line opened at -21.  BetOnline opened this one at -16 on Friday September 13.

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (0-2): Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick was intercepted three times and limited to 89 yards passing last week and what appeared inevitable came to fruition Thursday when coach Brian Flores said offseason acquisition Josh Rosen would get the start in Dallas. Rosen, the No. 10 overall pick of Arizona in the 2018 NFL draft, was 7-of-18 for 97 yards and a pick in mop-up duty last week. Miami showed it was playing for next season with the trades of offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil - a former first-round pick - and wideout Kenny Stills prior to the start of the season, and continued its roster purge by sending safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to Pittsburgh earlier this week.

ABOUT THE COWBOYS (2-0): Dallas is trying to work out a contract extension for quarterback Dak Prescott, who keeps driving up his asking price by throwing for seven touchdowns versus one interception in the first two games while added 69 yards on the ground last week. Prescott will be without his top target in wide receiver Michael Gallup, who is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks with a knee injury after racking up 13 catches and 226 yards in the first two games. That could mean a heavier dose of running back Ezekiel Elliott, who rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries last week. The Cowboys have only two sacks but Miami surrendered seven versus New England.
