Vegas over/under for Dallas. 8.5 wins

[CWR]

And yet we have fans declaring this is a Super Bowl team. I wonder who could be wrong?

In this case I think Vegas is wrong.

In this case I think Vegas is wrong.

I hope you're right, but until the three stooges prove otherwise...

 

[StarOfGlory]

As of now, I believe we will be 5-1 just in our division, probably dropping one game to Philly. I had us at 9 wins minimum, 11 if Garrett doesn’t do something stupid to cost us two games. Easy over for me.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

LMAOOOOOO

Bet the under for the Giants

 

[fredp22]

Vegas odds are the real odds. Odds based on cash bets. We look at odds with our rose colored glasses on. We have a good team but Vegas realizes you need good coaching. We have a poor coach and an OC that has zero experience (I didnt even like him as a qb coach). We keep just overlooking that thinking a good team will override poor coaching. It wont. Garrett coaching NE would win 6-8 games

Dare I mention, if Las Vegas is correct, those hoping for JG's ouster may potentially get their wish?

 

[cowboyblue22]

vegas Is not in the habit of giving away money their odds are pretty close they know there will be lots of fans to take the over then when the cowboys end up at 8 and 8 or worse they will make out like bandits

I got us at 11-5.

LOL. We’re not losing to the Giants at home in the first game of the season. We’ll win that game by two touchdowns.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I think it is due to the up and down nature of the team. Wentz supposedly being healthy, Dallas lost talent on the DL and a first time OC.

Still I find it odd so many are ranking Dallas middle of the pack when the majority of the team is returning healthy. I expect Dallas to be a 10+ win team. Zeke is going to feast and Cooper and WR corp are going to do some damage. DLaw and our LBers are going to truck opposing QBs, RBs, and WRs all year.

What talent did we lose on the DL? Irving? He didn’t play last season (not enough to matter anyway). Gregory? We don’t know about him yet and and he’s never been dependable anyway. We’ve added a couple of free agents and several draft picks. Our DL should be considerably better this year.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Dak and Zeke seem to come out of the gates a little slow. Or maybe it's just me.

Yeah, it’s just you.

 

[BourbonBalz]

We have a Division Champ schedule. Dont forget that.

Two games.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Two games.

The Saints wk 4.
The Rams wk 15.

We will lose to the Saints, but avenge our playoff lost to the Rams.

That would be my guess as well.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I actually think the Rams take a step back this year. It’s possible the Saints drop off a bit as well. Brees isn’t getting any younger and they lost Ingram.

My concern is who are you going to entice into this job knowing you have to work under Jerry and his wild ways and you won’t have much room for roster flex if all these big contracts get done. We may end up with Jeff Fisher (or similar). Best hope is Richard takes over.

 

[GMO415]

I'll put $ on the over

The Rams might not be what they were, but they still have a coach. It could be that by the middle of December that the Rams would have clinched home field advantage and not even be playing most of their starters against the Cowboys.

That would be nice but I doubt it. Seattle is still decent and the 49er’s should be quite a bit better with their QB back (though I still maintain he’s completely unproven). I think the Rams will win the division, but I don’t think it will be a cakewalk. They lost some players and I don’t know how well Gurley’s knee is going to hold up. That is key for them.

 

[Hadenough]

This is the Cowboys schedule and this is what I predict. People thinking the Over is easy money arent being realistic. Usually when its too good to be true and looks like a lock you end up losing.

[Bobhaze]

I would pick the over too, but it’s very hard to get above 10 wins in this league. I’m thinking 9-10 is realistic. Each year in this century, the number of NFL teams winning more than 10 games is between 5-7.

Since 2000, the Cowboys have won more than 10 games only 4 times in 19 seasons. Not saying they won’t do it this year- they could. But based on history, the odds are lower, which is why Vegas has that line at 8.5.
