Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the Dallas Cowboys-Cleveland Browns Week 9 game, with the line from OddsShark.
(-7) Dallas Cowboys (7-1) at Cleveland Browns (0-8), Sunday, 1 p.m.
Mike: Cowboys. The injuries to Morris Claiborne and Barry Church are reason to lean toward taking the points, but in order for Cleveland to make those injuries mean something, the Browns need the football — which might be tough against that Cowboys offense.
Ricky: Browns. A blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. Why not this week? The Cowboys are due for a letdown, right? So we’ll say the Browns keep it close.
Andre: Cowboys. The Browns allow 4.8 yards per rush attempt (fourth-most). Zeke will be well-fed in this one. I would say this has backdoor cover written all over it, but Dak Prescott is fighting for his job and he?s not going to take a minute off in what could be his last game as starter.
