The Week 11 Monday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans looked like a highlight of the season three months ago, but not so much now.
Dallas is on a four-game losing streak and much closer to a top draft pick than the playoff picture. Houston is winning the AFC South with a 6-4 record but is on a two-game losing skid.
Nonetheless, the Texans rate as a 7-point road favorite, as oddsmakers have figured out how poor Dallas is. With an over-under of 41, Houston is supposed to win 24-17.
The NFL Week 11 Monday Night Football game pits the Houston Texans against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
The Texans at Cowboys game will be televised nationally on ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes.
The Texans at Cowboys game is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m. MT/7:15 p.m. CT.
Joe Buck (play-by-play) and Troy Aikman (analyst) will call the game from the booth at SoFi Stadium, while Melissa Stark will be on the sidelines.
The Texans are a 7-point road favorite over the Cowboys in NFL Week 11 odds for the game, courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook. The Texans are -350 on the moneyline, while the Cowboys are +280. The over/under is set at 41 points.
Dallas officially placed quarterback Dak Prescott on injured reserve and elevated cornerback Josh Butler to the active roster ahead of Monday night’s game.
Cowboys cornerbacks DaRon Bland (foot) and Jordan Lewis (neck) won’t see any action after being ruled out.
The Texans’ defensive line won’t have starters Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) and Folorunso Fatukasi (foot) available.
But Houston does welcome back wide receiver Nico Collins from an injured reserve stint due to a hamstring problem.
