The Cowboys opened as 3.5-point home favorites, and then that expanded to -5.5 on October 14th. The line them moved all the way to -9.5 on October 20th after the Jayden Daniels hamstring injury. It kept moving all the way up to -12.5 at peak before coming back down to -11.5. This still feels like a pretty big overreaction move based on the Daniels injury. 

The total opened 48.5 and jumped to 50.5 on October 14th with a peak of 52.5 on October 15th. But then the Daniels news hit and it started to drop with a low of 46.5 before it came back to 48.0

The majority of the bets (68%) have come in on the Cowboys, and the handle is at (70%). This shows that there is no "sharp" action either way.. 

The total is completely split on both bets and handle at 50/50. 

The moneyline is on the Cowboys at 96% of the bets and 94% of the money
