Why latest projections give Cowboys highest chance to win SB, and it's not what you think

[GMO415]

The iggles are 11-1 and by most accounts among football analyst the odds on favorite to win it all.

Vegas on the other hand says different. Why?

Is it that Dallas has an explosive offense and a stout defense? Perhaps.

Or could it be that Dallas has the only current HC that took a 6th seed team to a SB and won it?

Yes MM could be the deciding factor. Coaching counts.

I thought it was because of Brett "Money" Maher.

 

[plymkr]

It can be both McCarthy and Maher.

I just don't think the Eagles are that good. They should have lost several games by now.
The Cowboys have-after years of trying to be a pass-first team and wasting talented roster after talented roster- finally returned to the ground game and have two superb running backs.
And yes, McCarthy is making the difference. For the first time since Jimmy Johnson, there is real leadership on the sidelines. Parcells was good, but his ego wouldn't let him allow anyone to be the star but him.
Yes; McCarthy is the coach of the year.

Or the Cowboys just have more fans and more visibility and so get more bets.

Betting lines are set by demand for a betting position, not expert opinion of who is going to win. This year with our high point differential it might be different, but I think historically the Cowboys have underperformed their betting line.

I figured it was because the biggest high rollers in Las Vegas are actually from Texas.

Mike could be the ultimate difference-maker?

Am fuzzy so must ask, what are Mike's specific job responsibilities with the Cowboys? What one thing is the big Guy actually good at?

I'm ready to learn. Eager for someone to walk me through it. Start by answering my two questions.

Was just about to state that.

I like Big Mike. Leadership is not easy, especially when you report to an insane board of directors. He is undervalued. Creating empowerment and confidence in his coordinators... very important. The team appears to like and trust him. Those who have had significant leadership roles in their career understand exactly what I am saying.

setting them up for the yearly fail.

Vegas is about making money; never forget that

I've never made money in Vegas................

 

[terra]

I've never made money in Vegas................

Yeah. One time I got within one two slots down and one slot down of the huge slot machine the MGM grand used to have; so close to like $3 million dollars; that was about 35 years ago.
Never left there with more than I came in with

 

[Doomsday101]

I know around here some do not think this team has the talent to go, myself I know they have the talent to get to the SB.

 

[Jarntt]

It can be both McCarthy and Maher.

or neither...

It's the same thing that Dak is apparently good at. Leadership.

And…the NFC’s #1 playoff seed has not advanced to the SB 3 of the last 4 years. The eagles may get the #1 seed but that’s not a lock to do anything in the playoffs.

Did they forget about our offensive coordinator and his cute plays?

 

[Pantone282C]

Did they forget about our offensive coordinator and his cute plays?

And, he could be the reason we are number 2 instead of 1.

Lol "they should have lost several games by now."

Umm we have and we "could have" lost more. That could be said of every team.
