Cowboys are currently 2.5-point underdogs for their Week 1 game

[shabazz]

Tied for 1st in the division entering Week 2!!!

Now that's a glass half full guy! That's what's up

 

[shabazz]

Hilarious. Watson is one of the worst QB’s in the league

True......he's our biggest chance of getting a win

 

[shabazz]

...so basically, its a 50/50 game. Hopefully, Dak comes out guns blazing, in vengeance mode.

Yeah......I'm thinking "vengeance mode" starts for him in week 2 against the Aints.

Browns defense isn't bottom of the barrel.

Then, it goes away week 3 against the Ravens defense but comes roaring back week 4 against the Gnats.

Just an educated guess on my part ,though.....and I'd be thrilled to be wrong and us 4-0 going against the Steelers in week 5

That old 3 points to home team thing is not real anymore.

Maybe in these scenarios:

• West Coast teams playing early games on East Coast
• Early season games at Miami
• Late season games by dome teams at Buffalo or Green Bay

stuff like that

..yep, that would be something. Real test first 4 games.

Dak did not look to happy last interview..lol.. Maybe it will light the fire, to get smarter about things. ..

ESPN Analytics on the NFC East in Week 1....

Cowboys 51% chance to beat Browns.
Eagles 59% chance to beat Packers.
Giants 55% chance to beat Vikings.
Commanders 35% chance to beat Bucs.

I'll call it. The Cowboys will beat the Browns.

Sounds great to me, the road to the #1 draft pick

So you’re seriously hoping for that this season?

 

[rambo2]

In today’s game, the home team gives up about 2.3 points(it used to be 3). It’s a tossup, 50/50 gamble.

Kind of like last year when they beat the Giants by 40.

 

[rambo2]

So you’re seriously hoping for that this season? This is a sad fan base.

I seriously think that he thinks Dallas will win.

 

[pansophy]

vegas just getting money on the other side of the bet.

I don't understand why more people don't realize this is an indication of betting behavior rather than who Vegas thinks is going to win.

 

[KJJ]

I seriously think that he thinks Dallas will win.

He may think they’ll win, but he may not want them to win. Doesn’t sound like it from his post. I know from reading this board there’s a number of fans that want the team to tank.

 

[Tabascocat]

Kind of like last year when they beat the Giants by 40.

It doesn’t indicate who will win and by how much. It just to get equal betting on both sides.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Tough game to predict…both teams have large question marks this season.

Cleveland will be rocking and Watson may turn a corner this season. The Browns are always solid in the trenches and that obviously favors them. If Dallas wins, it will be a bit of a statement.

The Cowboys tend to do better when they are the underdogs. Let them be the underdogs. Cowboys should pull out a victory. WooO!

Garrett has success against every LT in the league. It's no more of a risk for Guyton than basically anybody else.

So, by that logic, I guess we call up Chaz Green and see if he's got some time.



"Has success" is a matter of degree, and in this case, the more snaps in which MG has success, the more we don't. You're smart. Not saying anything you don't know to be true.

Thats great logic.

Where do you got this from ? Hanging out at a-social media too much?

Lol, I don't believe you mean half of what you say.

 

[Flamma]

Really....if I was a betting man I'd take the Browns, Packers, Vikings and Bucs and screw the points.

I'm not taking anything in week 1. The big variable is, we don't know who is better prepared. Bet nothing in week 1. But if nothing else, McCarthy is better than average at having his team prepared for week 1. Plus he was embarrassed last year. He can't feel comfortable. I'd lean towards the Cowboys with the points. But I won't make a bet.

I remain unpersuaded that our rookie LT is going to get through a game with the DPOY w/o having had 4 or more plays of some negative significance.

Worse still, if the knee situation gets exacerbated and forces us to put a 2nd year 5th round pick (!) in there as his replacement... I'm going to up that to 8 or more plays.

Our collective risk aversion... team and fans alike... seems about like a 17 yr-old heading out to the other end of town for a drag race after a few beers. Tempting fate like this to wag its fickle finger at the Dallas Cowboys 2024 edition is bold. And we should have had a real vet in the house that could, at least, provide some insurance.

You’ve taken the negative slant again. I’ll take the positive. I think Guyton’s going to hold his own against whomever he plays. He’ll have a couple bad plays, but he’s not going to be the reason the Cowboys lose no matter how much you seem to wish.
