Better Play: Dal -3 first half or Dal -5.5?

[JBS]

Hey guys, have not been able to come to a decision on what is the better play for tonight. I typically do not bet on preseason games but the line came out and it looks a little too big which leads me to believe dallas will win this one going away.

With that being said, I still have not decided which is the better play for tonight - the two options are to play the cowboys to cover 3 points in the first half alone or for the cowboys to cover 5.5 points in the entirety of the game?

Any opinions?

Follow your initial rule of thumb and don't bet on a pre-season game.

I don't like the bet either way, to be honest. Betting on preseason... might as well hand vegas your money!

I wouldn't bet on a preseason game myself, but if i had to choose i would have to take -3 and the Boys in the first half. I think the starters will play the 1st half for sure.

We have a winner!

-3 in the 1st half, no question.

I'd never bet on a preseason game, because teams aren't exactly trying to win, but I'd go the -3 in the first half. I think especially because Houston has 2 pretty solid QBs who could put up points.
