Dan Graziano, national NFL writer: Broncos over Cowboys. I'm not overly bullish on this Broncos team, but I don't think it deserves to be a home underdog to Dallas. The Broncos looked better against the run Monday than they did in 2016, and until the fourth-quarter turnovers set in, Trevor Siemian was in control against a Chargers defense that has a lot more difference-makers than Dallas. Give me Denver to start 2-0 at home.

Don't need Insiders to read this blurb. I think this game could go either way. IF we increase RZ% and Sc% then we will win. If we allow them a chance to stay in the game by not scoring well or turn the ball over we could get in trouble.

Denver is a tough place to win. We are the better team, but not sure we are totally in sync just yet. Could go either way....

Hope everyone in the media picks us to lose. I love this teams attitude when they are under-dogged by everyone in the media.
I'm glad Dak had some "flaws" the first game and people are questioning his ability. He always rises up to prove everyone wrong and I think that is one of his greatest motivating qualities as an athlete. Keep the chip on our shoulder.

Our game is really a coin flip.

If I weren't a Cowboy fan i'd definitely bet on Denver to win this game. It's a good bet.

Actually, I think the smart bet is Dallas. It was pretty surprising that they opened as a road favorite in Denver and the line has actually gone up, not down.

19-1 since 2000 at home during weeks 1 & 2 speaks for itself and they have a quality football team.

I think taking Denver would be a great bet.

Tough to beat Denver there. Expect a good game.

But the Broncos problem is that Dallas doesn't commit turnovers and eats the clock. A tired Denver defense is then ripe for the picking.

Dallas needs a game just like last week, and if Dak is more on target, they'll be fine.

Should be a good test, I can see this going either way.
They have...
Solid QB play
Decent running game.
Good WRs.
O line isn't as bad as the Giants.
Their D as a whole isn't as good as the Giants.

Vegas knows they are 19-1 since 2000 at home in weeks 1&2. And yet they made the Cowboys the favorite and the line moved in the Cowboys favor. Unless this line craters towards Denver in the next two days, I think the line is a Cowboys line.

Dallas is a bad matchup for Denver; we do not need to air the ball out against their D and they likely won't beat us with chunk plays in the pass game because Trevor Siemian ain't no Aaron Rodgers. They do have home field which is nice, but we are the better team and have the stylistic matchup advantage.

Yeah home dogs are typically good bets.
