Cowboys opened as 1.5-point underdogs for Week 15 road game against the Buffalo Bills

[mldardy]

Buffalo is a different team at home, and Allen’s incredible arm is an advantage when it’s cold and windy. Will be a tough game.

Are they? Beat the Bucs by 6, Giants by 5, and lost to the Broncos. Lot of Buffalo fans in here all of a sudden. This forum never fails to pump up our opponents.

This game @Buffalo scares me more of the remaining four.

which means they think we are a slighly better team than the bills.

Bills are playing for their playoff lives every week from now on because they are the last of the 7-6 teams.

We could put the nail in the coffin for them.

Long range forecast looks great. Cloudy and low 40s. Long way away though.

That's tropical for Buffalo in December. Cowboys catching a break with the weather.

I thought the Conventional Wisdom was that the home team automatically gets -3. If true, then that means Dallas was favored by 1.5...

 

[MWH1967]

It's cool. No big heads around here.

 

[Proof]

They might and then what you gonna say. They still have 6 losses by 6 points or less. I'm not a believer in the Bills, get over it.

if we blew them out, that would skew the points they've lost by, so why would he say that? i just don't understand how they're frauds when they don't have a great record. he's just pointing out that they are likely better than their record indicates based on actual analysis and context. i think we'll beat them, but it will be a difficult game.

Bills are playing well right now. Romo was extremely complimentary about them a couple weeks ago when the eagles lucked out against them.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Not surprised we aren't as good on grass.

And away.

 

[OmerV]

No Respect

1.5 points is nothing, especially playing on the road. If they were at home they would be favored

 

[Jarntt]

So basically a pick 'em on the road against a good team? Sounds about right to me. Non-story

 

[BoyzBlaster]

It's weird to me how so many people seem to care about "the narrative" from a national media who make a living by stirring the pot using the Dallas Cowboys.

I couldn't care less.

Agreed - the sensitivity of a large part of our fan base is something I will never understand.

 

[Blackspider214]

In the betting world in the NFL, you are usually spotted 3-4pts for just being at home. This line is only 1.5. That means they don't view Buffalo as that strong, especially at home in December against a warm weather team.

It's not true anymore. HFA is down to a point or so over the last few years.

Highmark Stadium has artificial turf.

 

[Ken]

Good.

They should be too. Now prove it wrong.

The Bills will be a tough test. If the defense doesn't get some turnovers, the Bills will rack up yardage, so the defense will have to hold in the Red Zone.

And the Bills like to blitz (and will disguise it), so Dak and the receivers better study the film and be ready to adjust else the Bills could wreak a little havoc of their own.

The Cowboys could blow out the Bills, and the Bills could blow out the Cowboys if the Cowboys come in with an Iggles hangover, feeling themselves after what is sure to be a long week of high praise and MVP projections for Dak. McCarthy's challenge will be keeping this team hungry and focused, and D Law and Dak will be a part of this challenge as well. Prepare, practice, watch film...ALL WEEK. Treat the next 3 weeks like 3 playoff games.

I know the current forecast. I also know how quickly that can change with a lake effect snow event. I literally spent a night in my car stranded on the NY thruway because of one. Buffalo weather, especially this time of year, is harder to predict than Texas. Hopefully, the forecast holds up.

What was that like? Did you sleep much?

It’s turf
