Early odds on Cowboys vs KC

[DFWJC]

Chiefs are a playoff team in the AFC this year. Watch, if we win it's a great win. Vegas is right on their with the pick em'. I see this being a low scoring game like 17-14 or 20-17.... Their defense is very good and they have a serviceable offense with 2 really good players in Charles and Bowe. GOing to be a very tough game

Other than Charles, the real talent is on that Oline.

I'm amazed at how many Chief fans on the forums think we flat out suck.

Try living in the middle of Chef territory. It's already been a brutal week.

This is a big game. If the Cowboys want people to believe they are more than an 8-8 team they need to win this one. It's going to be tough.

Especially since I believe both the Giants and Commanders are about to open the season 0-2.

 

[JerryFan]

I don't expect the team to be overly confident after last nights win it was a nail biter. The Cowboys are going to be in dog fights all season they don't have a killer instinct. They're going to have to scratch and claw for every win. Most of their games will come down to the 4th quarter.

Well every team is in a dog fight almost every single game not just Dallas.

To me, this will be the game where the Cowboys will show their true colors. If indeed they have turned over a new leaf, believe in Garrett's system, fancy themselves a playoff team, they should win convincingly. A win where they are better in all 3 phases of the game and not require OT to put away a team that is no where near as talented. A loss here could signal another year of 7,8,or 9 games won this year. A win however would prove that we can build on success and correct our mistakes. A win could mean double digit wins this year.

This will be a very good game. I think a lot of fans are underestimating KC. They have a good oline, very good running back, and an underrated secondary now with Flowers, Smith, Robinson, Berry to name a few.

It will be a very slow game because both teams would want to run the football, and the team with the T.O.P. advantage will win the game.

The Cowboys vs the Chiefs isn't the definition of a trap game. The definition of a trap game is a game that pits a heavily favored team vs an inferior opponent. The heavily favored team usually looks past the inferior opponent. That won't be the case this Sunday for either the Cowboys or the Chiefs because the odds are close and both teams are coming off disappointing seasons The Cowboys have gone longer than the Chiefs without a winning season. As disappointing as the Chiefs and Cowboys have been in recent years it's laughable for anyone to think this could be a trap game for either team.

That's not what I asked you. But par for the course from you. Dodge the question and misdirect.

They beat Green Bay the very next week.
I'd say that Seattle , at home, was already very good when Dallas played the last year.

I'll disagree.

Watched them in week 1 that year and nobody could get open.

Russell Wilson wasn't riding high yet either. Just a rookie QB in his second start.

Seattle was better in many ways towards the end of the season. We should've handled them at that point in the year.

I think we should have beat them as well. But I think we should win every game so Not sure i am the best one to ask. I will say though that Seattle, more so than any other team I can think of is a Jeckel and Hyde team. At home, they are almost unbeatable, As we, GB and SF all found out last year. So why I thought at the time and still think today, we have a better team than they do, when they play at home, they are very tough team to beat.

What you bolded wasn't the definition of a trap game. I gave you a detailed answer of what a trap game is but you're just looking to stir things up which is par for the course for you.

I asked you a simple question and you refuse to answer but instead, tried your old and tired misdirection.

I gave you a detailed answer to the question and you're continuing your same tiring MO of trying to start an argument because you have a bone to pick. It's been over a month now get over it!

Well every team is in a dog fight almost every single game not just Dallas.

Most "good" teams that win 10+ games every year win in a breather every once in awhile but it's usually a struggle week after week for teams that are routinely 8-8 or worse. These are teams that are trying to learn how to win consistently and close games out. Bad/mediocre teams don't know how to handle a big lead which is why good teams are able to snatch victory from defeat. We saw what happened with the Chargers last week vs the Texans. Good teams are resilient they know how to win games. The Cowboys most comfortable win last season was by 15 points vs Philly in game one. Vick got injured after giving the Eagles a 7-0 lead and Carr had a pick-six off Foles that helped seal that game for the Cowboys. In 2011 the Cowboys blew out the Rams by 27 and Buffalo by 37.

They had a 28-0 lead on Tampa later that season and allowed them to creep back in the second half. Since that game the Cowboys have shown no killer instinct. They should have won going away last Sunday with all the takeaways and defensive scores. I'm only complaining because it's going to end up costing them a game they should have won. We've seen the past 2 seasons that one game can mean the difference in making the playoffs and missing them. When the Cowboys get a team down by 2 scores they have to go for the kill. You can't allow an opponent to hang in especially a good team or they'll pull the rug right out from under you in the closing minutes. The Cowboys could have gone 12-4 in 2011 had it not been for the blown leads vs the Jets on opening day. The blown 24 point lead vs Detroit a few weeks later. The blown lead vs NE the following week and the blown lead vs AZ.
