Cowboys 3-1 is Better than My 2-2 Prediction

[rwalters31]

The Boys showed character in those three wins, but now starts the real test the next three games. I think we can give the Cincy a good game but lose this one, I believe we can beat Green Bay, then comes the stats monster from Philly. Of the three teams Philly can and probably will crush us. I have us going 1-2 for the next three games.

Philly is a big big game. Lots of back stories and old enemies.

 

[Silver N Blue]

I had them 3-1 with Romo and 1-3 when he went down....great when you're wrong sometimes!

 

[dfense]

It's exactly how I predicted. Loss to Giants, win the next 3.

 

[cowboys1981]

Each game has helped this team grow. For them to come back from a 14 pt deficit shows alot in itself. Each win sets them up for the next. Cincy has a better defense and offense than SF. Yesterday was just an appetizer. With that being said Cincy also has plenty to contend with as well.

It was nice to beat the 49ers in San Francisco. The road ahead is a little tougher.

Cincinnati and GB..I don't like the Cowboys in these games. Philadelphia should be ready for a fall and our division games are always close and hard fought...this club might just surprise the hated Eagles.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Cowboys are -1.5 favorites against the Bengals,,, surprising! I bet that line doesn't last though,,,

 

[theebs]

I thought at best we would be 1-3 with the only win at SF.

I also thought we would lose to cincy and gb and be 1-5.

Now I kind of think they split these next two games and go to the bye at 4-2.

Then the eagles have to try and figure out which qb to prepare for among the other number of players I think will be coming back that night.

Looking forward to this Bengals game. It's the right size and kind of test for us right now. CIN maybe isn't as good as they've been in recent years, but they've still got that front and they've still got Green. They're going to play well, have a solid team overall, but aren't necessarily explosive. It's a chance for our offense to assert itself against what's perceived to be a playoff-quality team. Defensively, we'll have our hands full, but they're not the sort of offensive juggernaut that ought to exploit our mediocre defense. We get a game to work Lawrence back in before going on the road to GB which will be a much bigger defensive test for us.

Kind of like how the next two weeks shape up. I'm waiting from there to decide what I think about that Eagles game, but that one's shaping up to the be the game of the pre-Thanksgiving season here.

They will pound the ball all over us. And we have no answer what so ever for Green. But I do like the test for Dak and Zeke to see if they can overcome.

 

[DFWJC]

I thought 3-1 after 4 games, but worried it could be 2-2. Even now, the combined record of teams they've played is only 7-9

But I also thought 3-3 after 6 games.
I'm starting to think they could be better than that--which would be a real accomplishment.

 

[Tabascocat]

We have got to win at least one of these next three to put us at 4-3 before a seemingly easy Cleveland game. 5-3 at the midway point........I will take it! Steal another in there to be 6-2 would even be fantastic

Although we are only 4 games in, our bet is looking quite favorable for me right now. Turnover rate much better than last year and defense only giving up 19 ppg. Not saying it will stay like this the whole year, but you might want to be thinking about getting that signature ready

pretty much disagree with most of what you're saying. they definitely have an explosive offense, and definitely built to exploit our weaknesses. and that's not including eifert if he's back.

still looking forward to the game.

 

[CATCH17]

I had us 3-1 at worst.

I predicted 4-0 I believe. I felt like we would beat the Giants and the next 3
teams were garbage.

They're 16th in offensive yards/series and 25th in offensive points/series playing a mix of good and bad defenses so far. They throw short to Green a lot, and you have to tackle him well. They can run the ball, and they can also beat you deep with Green if you give Dalton time.

For our part, defensively we've done a lot better with our run fits the last two weeks after looking really shaky in week one. We're still giving up 1-2 big runs every game, but on many series, we play the run pretty well. Our secondary tackles well overall.

Our OL matches well with the strength of the CIN defense. Plus we've got weapons who can take advantage of that secondary that's not as good as it was in recent years. We're actually a decent matchup for the Bengals. If the game were on the road, I'd feel more confident about it. As it is, as I said, I think it's a good next-step test for Dak to see if he can keep the winning streak going.

 

[ShiningStar]

I had it at :

Romo 3-1. Easily crushes the Giants, Commanders defensively always has his number, bad Chicago team, and he whips on Chip Kelly personally.
Dak 2-2 Loses to the Giants and Commanders as i felt Giants knew to beat on a rookie QB (take notes Garrett) and the Skins gash up the middle. Dak beats a bad Chicago team and a depleted SF team. Chip Kelly still our whipping post.

What was the bet?

 

[Jstopper]

What was the bet?

We had a signature bet about how bad the cowboys defense was gonna be. You said they would give up 24 ppg and have less sacks than last year. Loser was supposed to put up signature of winners choosing.
