MIT Simulator - NFL Thursday Cowboys vs Chargers Winner
MIT Simulator Score - Dallas 28.43, Los Angeles 20.80 - Projected Margin of Victory: 7.63 - Current Line: +2.5 - Variance to Line: 10.13 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 10.13 points. Value in double digits! Projected box-score shows Cowboys rushing edge of 78.27 yards in excess of Chargers rushing total. Key factors noted: The Cowboys rushing attack is ranked 4th in the NFL while the Chargers run defense is ranked dead last in the NFL. Even though Dallas is without Ezekiel Elliott they have still run the ball well the past two weeks and, with Dak Prescott in the pocket, the Chargers defense still have to respect the pass too. The Chargers strength on offense is the passing game but the Cowboys are better on defense against the pass than the run. This sets up well for Dallas in terms of a mismatch with Los Angeles in the running game in this one. Also, Dallas is very angry after back to back losses where their offense had ugly performances. The Cowboys are on a 7-3 ATS run in non-conference games. The Chargers are on a 5-10 ATS run as a favorite. MIT Simulator composite forecast equating to an "upset" win here for Dallas by 7.63 points.
