Are the Cowboys a good bet against the line?

The Cowboys have covered 52.8% of 176 games with a posted line since 2016, against a break-even of 52.4%. That is above break-even over this sample, which is worth knowing and is not the same as a system: a line moves with reputation, and a record this long covers several very different squads. Their straight win rate of 56.4% is a different question entirely: winning often and covering often come apart exactly as the market intends.
