Only 2 teams vs this year where we're considered Underdogs

[Cydios]

Oh how the opinions have changed. I wonder how many people overlooked Dallas this year on their schedule. Loving it!

So according to FPI, the only 2 teams we're not favored to win is @Chiefs Week 11 and @Saints Week 13..

Also, during last 4 games, we lead in Rushing yards and Rushing Yard per attempt..
Ranked 7th in Both Defensive and Offensive efficiency.

How about that?

Heading into the season I would have agreed but now? KC has issues and are very beatable. We may be an underdog but Cowboys I think can beat KC

I agree. I think the only we'd lose to the Saints is if we have the division on lock down. Due to the fact that there's 17 games now, we would have to have a 4 game separation to 2nd place. Even with our division, that'll be real tough.

The Saints? They suck.

Cowboys should be able to destroy them.

The Chiefs are struggling and are not the same team who has made it to the past two AFC Championship Games.

Cowboys should be able to beat both, even at their places.

Chiefs are 2-3. We're 4-1 with wins over the 4-1 Chargers, 3-2 Panthers and a narrow, last couple of minute loss to the 4-1 Bucs.
Saints lost to the Giants, that we just beat by 24 pts. Saints don't have Brees anymore.

May not be favored, but I can't see us being underdogs to either of those teams...

I think the only worry I have is not instead of an X over Dallas on their schedule.. there's a circle. That's the time of the year when teams like to put on the hurt. I just hope we don't have those OLD December woes..

As we get closer to week 13, Dallas will be favored over the Saints.

I agree 100%, however I'm not 100% over that Chargers win. There were some 3rd party intervention that kinda helped us.. BUT they owe us one for the Tampa debacle. I can see it either way. Chargers are for real, and I wouldn't want to face them again. I'm also wondering (too early) if the NFL scheduling Gods would schedule a rematch.

Since 2016 Dallas is 14-6 in December.

I would love to face the Chargers again, because the only way we would even face the Chargers would be in the Super Bowl. So please give me 1 more game this year vs LA Chargers

Jason Garret syndrome still in effect for me.

You know, I change my stance on that. You're right. If anything I'd like to hush the critics about that game. I also believe Dallas was still figuring themselves out. Their confidence level is way different now, but then again so are the Chargers.

Chiefs and Saints games are weeks away, a lot could change before then. Either way.

We will have Collins back after the Pats game, possibly Lawrence by the Saints game. That's good. But have to travel to the Chiefs, then play 4 days later at home, then travel to the Saints. That travel is as much a concern as the actual games/teams...

0 reason to not be favored over New Orleans. They aren’t very good

2016-2019 Garrett's Cowboys were 11-5.

3rd party intervention? What you mean, the refs? Haha the whole argument that refs took 2 TDs from Chargers is absolutely ridiculous. They committed the penalties and therefore the refs did their job. I can't say they intervened when they finally called the opponent for penalties that they should have called.

Yep, hopefully with the improved def line. Dlaw won't attract as much attention as before. I hope he won't decline like Dez did with the foot.

I agree, I have this argument with a buddy of mine who's a Chargers fan. I hear it daily as I do my Lions friend on the "faceguard" incident. He's a little quiter this year I have to admit

DLaw is a very good player and his return I think bodes well for this defense. I have been critical at times of him but I also know how dominate he can play which is why I have at times been critical because my expectation of him and his ability are so high.

and in his defense, they haven't complimented him in other areas. He's usually double teamed. The last few people, either weren't good or had off field issues.

This. If the refs "intervened" in the Tampa game we win that one. So . It goes both ways.
