My father has been a lifelong Dallas Cowboys’ fan. Even when he lived in Fairfax, VA, serving as a soldier at Ft. Belvoir, just a hop, skip and a jump from RFK Stadium, he was a Cowboys’ fan. He lives and breaths with the Dallas Cowboys.

But he’s got a problem now. Although it isn’t monetarily when it comes to the Boys, like it definitely is for us BetUS online sportsbook NFL betting fans, his problem with America’s Team is the same problem that we need to assess as BetUS football betting fans.

The problem is with Tony Romo. “He needs to forget about women,” my father says. “Forget about them altogether. Just start sleeping around like Joe Namath.”

By no means is my father being sexist. What he means is that Romo has this thing about him where, whether it’s Jessica or not, women become the focus of his life. There is no reason, for instance, why Tony had to take a trip with Jessica down to Mexico a week before the biggest game of his life. I don’t get it. Dallas Cowboy fans didn’t get it and online sports betting enthusiasts shouldn’t stand for it.

It’s not just Jessica. The guy’s been linked to every single country singing hot woman out there who isn’t already married. It gets to the point where Romo has to decide if he is Brett Favre or just another NFL star out there trying to get laid because he’s the starting QB for America’s Team.

Hey, Tony, I know you might not care all that much if you guys win, but guess what? Us online sportsbook betting faithful sure give a damn!

Of course, that’s not the only issue with the Dallas Cowboys. Before I break it down as to they this team will probably fall off from their terrific season of a year ago, let’s take a look at the BetUS futurebook betting odds on the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl.

Right now the online wagering odds on the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl are 9 to 1.

To me these online odds are absolutely terrible. I do not believe that any team is worth online betting odds less then 20 to 1 to win the Super Bowl. Not right now when so many things can happen.

But I’m really disgusted at the online betting odds of 9 to 1 on the Dallas Cowboys.

Besides having Tony Romo pretending to be Texas Don Juan out there, the best player on the Cowboys’ team, wide receiver Terrell Owens, is a year older. Adam “PacMan” Jones, who the Dallas Cowboys feel will shore up their secondary, hasn’t played football for over a year and might not get the go ahead from Commissioner Roger Goodell to play at all in the 2008 – 2009 season.

Roy Williams, their tough strong safety, can’t play coverage defenses. The Boys also signed old man Zach Thomas from the Miami Dolphins to shore-up their run defense, but the problem with Zach is that he’s coming off an injury and hasn’t been in the league since the Tennessee Titans were the Houston Oilers (that might be hyperbole - - but it makes the point!).

The moves that Jerry Jones made in the off-season just haven’t impressed me. I’m also not as ga-ga over their draft as some other NFL online betting writers. For one, taking Felix Jones in the first round just wasn’t a good move. There were cornerbacks available and that’s where the Boys need to strengthen their defense. Jones is a very fast, athletic, but very light running back. His speed will be neutralized in the NFL and there is no way he gets those truck like holes to run through that he got when playing for Arkansas.

The schedule isn’t light either. Besides strapping it on against their NFC East rivals twice this season, the Cowboys have to play the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers

The answer to the question then, are the Cowboys ready to break through and win a Super Bowl, is no. That makes the Cowboys one of the biggest underlays on the BetUS futurebook wagers page.

9 to 1 on this team to win the Super Bowl? You’ve got to be kidding me, right?
