ESPN, FOX, USA TODAY all of them are taking New England

[Coy]

I was checking out the so called "expert picks" from different web sites, and this is what I found out, NOBODY is giving the Cowboys a chance.

The only one who says Dallas will win is Pete Prisco from CBS Sports.

It is unbelievable how nobody thinks we can be competitive; this has to be motivating for the players.
I know it will be tough but I’ve got a feeling the Cowboys will win the game.

 

[Champsheart]

GOOD, I like it that way, we have nothing to lose and everthing to gain.

GO COWBOYS!!!!!

If we win, there will be a very different tune being sung.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Good. I like this position.

We will win! :starspin

 

[CATCH17]

Some people would give us a chance had we handled Buffalo which is dumb imo.

"Experts" are so week to week that its so friggin stupid.

 

[zrinkill]

I do not understand why people are surprised about this. New England is this decades version of the 49'rs

The media will always favor them and root for them.

Do not take it personally ....... I love that we are the underdog.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

Why is this always a topic here? We get plenty of national love. The constant whining from our fan base makes us sound like Philly fans. Come on lets act like we have won the big game (5 times). Tired of hearing we are disrespected.

I don't think any of these predictions are a knock on Dallas. NE has yet to show any real weaknesses and Dallas has. Dallas showing that they can hang with the Patriots would be considered a "win" by most in the media. Dallas outright winning the game would be an upset in the eyes of most.

 

[Coy]

Of course I understand but out of 25 or so called "experts" to only 2 of them take the Cowboys don’t you think it’s ridiculous?

 

[onetrickpony]

If we win, there will be a very different tune being sung.

I doubt that. When we win it will be because NE gave us the game somehow.

At least that's the way the media will spin it.

I agree...

its not dumb, people make predictions based on what they see, and what they have seen so far this yr is a New England team that for the most part has dominated from start to finish of every game they've played...they are healthy and have played well in all 3 phases of football...on the other hand they see us and see a team that has yet to play 60 GOOD minutes of football on the same weekend...we've ran away at the end of some games, but we also played a terrible game Monday night against one of the league's worst teams (a team that New England beat by 31 pts), further, we are not 100% healthy

its not that we cant win the game, but predictions are based on what you see...and once you understand that, its not hard to see why people would favor the Pats, even at Texas Stadium

not really...the Buffalo game is fresh in their mind

you cant deny the fact that the Pats have played better on a week to week basis than we have...doesnt mean we wont or cant win, but nobody should be surprised everyone is picking them

[Doomsday101]

I can't say I blame them. I think we can win this game but no doubt the Pats are the favorite in this game.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Looks like the same experts who said we would kill Buffalo last Monday night. Any given Sunday.......

 

[smarta5150]

Didnt everyone pick the 9-0 Colts last year?

Then Ware stuck a helmet in the back of Manning and RW was head-hunting Colt receivers...

 

[Coy]

I completely understand and couldn’t agree more that the Patriots should be favoured to win but to nobody giving them a chance?? I don’t understand that, they are playing at home and they are 6 point underdog, I just think this game will be much tighter than people think.

 

[Coy]

But that´s against the spread, thats different.

 

[miamicowboy21]

We'll Greg Cote from the Miami Herald picked us to win.

 

[03EBZ06]

That's fine, I don't have any problems with all the experts picking Pats. All I know is the Cowboys will be competitive and they will pull it out in the end.
