Dallas at Seattle

Dak Prescott is in Schottenheimer's zero-snap tier Saturday, one of twenty-three Dallas starters staying in sweats, which hands this game to Joe Milton and Sam Howell for what the staff itself calls the main event. Howell started a full NFL season, and that's a real edge in a game most opponents will be manning with pure camp arms. Seattle does get a brief look at its actual starter, with Sam Darnold projected for a series or two early, but Mike Macdonald has signaled a different approach this year, working Drew Lock through a series or two of his own before handing the rest of the game to rookie Jalen Milroe for four to six series in the second half. That's a talented, unrefined developmental arm carrying the bulk of Seattle's offense against a Dallas quarterback room that's already played real NFL snaps. The early Darnold look is the one thing working against this pick, and it's worth exactly a series or two before the roster-bubble players take over for the rest of the night. With Milton, Howell, and Milroe combining to handle most of the offensive snaps on both sides, expect the kind of pressing, mistake-prone football that inflates a preseason total. Dallas carries real value at this price, and the OVER backs it up. Take both Saturday night.
