Am I the only one who prefers the Cowboys being the underdog?

[GrouchySmurf]

I get uncomfortable when we're favored. Stress levels up.

But I definitely feel more calm when we're the dog. Win or lose.

Anybody else?

Cowboys have been 3-2 as underdogs since 2022.

Anybody else?

I also like being the underdog.

No. I'd prefer to be a double digit favorite.

Nope you're not the only one.

Why does it make you nervous? It has no bearing on the outcome of the game.

 

[The Natural]

Makes no difference to me

Being the favorite this far into the season means the team's been playing good ball. That should breed confidence.

 

[Pevansjr]

Yea, call it superstition, but whenever we're the favorites and the sports media is talking them up I start thinking, oh no there gonna get over confident and end up losing a game they should win. What other people are saying shouldn't have any bearing on the outcome of the game, but I do get that uneasy feeling from time to time. Or maybe I just ate something that was spoiled.

Odds are for Vegas and gamblers. Many times don't reflect the real world. We are the better team and should win a tough game
