I think you got the two mixed up... Broncos have beaten the Raiders and Browns. Both with ZERO QB or running game...  And, when facing a decent D, they needed help by DB tip drill to score a TD against Cincy.  Now, everyone wants to "BUY" into them...

If anyone is overated in the game, it's the 3-0 Broncos...

Agree here but what do you think about an opposing members statement who posted below:

Has anyone ever been a mile high up? It affect oxygen intake and especially during athletics. On a short week? After an emotional come from behind win? I don't think so

Well I'm glad to see so many people taking denver in this thread, i thought for sure everyone would be on the cowboys. Locking it in at dallas -3 -105. Should be a pretty good game though, I'm  thinking 27-17.

  • Tony Romo as a starter 29-13
  • Kyle Orton as a starter 24-12
 
I think this will be a true test for the Broncos but I have been drinking the kool-aid and think the 3-4 defense will present more issues for the Cowboys then what people think.
 
ML on Denver!

I only threw 5 units on it, was considering upto 20. I think it's a pretty solid play but we'll see.

The Cowboys will def. be able to put points up on the board. A Kyle Orton-led offense won't be able to keep up.

This is what the Cowgirls defense gave up to Tampa Bay and Byron "Bygone" Sandwich.We know what theyre all about now.Worst team in the NFL.

450 total yards/ 26 1st downs/174 rushing yrds @ 5.6 ypc.Gave up 276 Pass yards to Byron "Bygone" Sandwhich. Cowgirls Defensive redzone deffiency was 100 % The Cowboys were also 3-10 on 3rd down, much like they were in the redzone and had to settle for FG against Carolina.Those are the only pts theyre going to be putting up.  Moreno doesnt have to be anything special against those slugs. Denver leads the NFL in sacks. 10  in 3 games tied with another great defense. The only one thats going to be shitting his pants is Tony Schmomo. Pick 6's.=..Deep 6 for the girls. Bank it Denver SU

So imho, if the broncos were overrated, they would be a 5 points fave here.
 
You Cowboys backers last night were so lucky Steve Smith decided not to run the route. Shit like that happens and you lose a cover. Just like Favre fucked me on SF ml, but hey, we win some we lose some. They should be 1-2 ATS with their ats W againt the hapless Bucs. You can throw that garbage out the window.
 
By the way everyone spouts off picks, they sound like they will or have never lost. gimmie a friggin break.

So denver is a playoff team? They have a 3-0 record and will struggle to win 7 games total. You give away your money taking denver this week.

If there is still such a thing as home field advantage
Denver has it

I don't know how you can call a 3-0 team crappy
no matter who they beat

3 wins is 3 wins

I thought they might gain some momentum after monday but its a short week and the altitude may be a factor. Denver D is better than people think

i dont think this years stats are going to help u much because its only week 4...and this years stats are based upon previous 3 games.....BRONCOS ARE 3-0, THEY PLAYED THE SHITTIEST TEAMS IN THE NFL AND GOT A FLUKE WIN....OF COURSE THEY'RE DEFENSIVE STATS LOOK GOOD RITE NOW. im not gonna say cowboys r THAT great of a team..but they dont choke against shitty teams like the deadskins....their rush D has contained deangelo williams/stewart, brandon jacobs...what makes u think knowshon moreno or buckhalter will do better than the names i just mentioned? u think kyle orton is really that good? broncos defense has improved since last season and because they played such shitty teams, they're defense LOOKS good but their true test is against good offenses. dallas has statistically (if  u must) the best run game rite now if not top 3....and their pass offense is much better than cincys, oakland, and cleveland COMBINED ok maybe not combined but definately oak and cleveland combined. so dont buy into this whole omg broncos r 3-0 nonsense, they will decline as the season goes on.

U gotta love it everyone is either a cowboy fan or a cowboy hater, as the first of the two I have to say I'm not that impressed yet but when I look at the way they have been running the ball, even in the loss to the giants and the play selection used in the carolina game I think the boys are gonna be alright. You have 3 great runners with Marion Barber coming back and a great tight end in Witten and no need to force the ball downfield when it isn't there! Romo will throw the short passes, hand the ball off and lead the Cowboys to a victory over medicore(despite being 3-0) Denver Bronco's team. look for Ware to be all over Kyle Orton and the Cowboys to cruise 21-10!!!!

The Monday night game between Dallas and Carolina was close because both teams have a very weak defense overall.  Carolina has the slimest of margins of a better defencs, in fact it is so close that their is not clear advantage to either side. Dallas won the game because they have a supeiror offense vs Carolina. When it comes to Denver and Dallas, Denver will win the game, I don't know if they will SU or ATS, but they will win the game.In this match up the overal offense of both are almost identical, as far as the defense goes big advantage to Denver and they are playing at home.I have Denver +3 as one of my top 5 picks for the week.Gl to all.

Oh Yeah? How good is TB? How good is Carolina? 0-6 Record right there. So they played two crap teams and a good team, so did Denver! I don't give a shit, Cicny is tough and they played trhem tough at their place and a W is a W. You ahve to be lucky in life, take it form me.

I don't know how many times I've seen teams start 3-0 when everyone said they were gonna have a down year and then end up7-9 or 8-8. the dolphins come to mind as they seemed to always start strong and finish flat. i see this Denver team in that same category, maybe I'm wrong. It's a long year and only time will tell but Dallas is the more talented team on both sides of ball! GL to you but I'm on the boys!

Hard not to bet the Cowboys in this, they left two touchdowns on the field last week. With the idiotic two passing play calls on the 1 yd line, and the false start on fourth and one when they were going for it. The final score should have been 35-7. I am curious to see how Denver plays against a QB who can actually throw a football. The last two weeks they went up against the 31 and 32 passing attacks in football.

Wow all those great stats and talk of them being the worst team in the NFL and yet they are 2-1 vs spread and two points away from being a 3-0 team. Worst team in the NFL? Really? with all those bad numbers I hate to see when they turn those stats around and believe me they will! You might wanna be a little more realistic and a little less dramatic! We will see at the end of the year where both teams stand. Cowboys-3!!!!!!!

where in my post did I say they were a playoff team? I believe they have a much bertter chance than teh Buffalo Bills, whom are 0-3 and everyone seems to love on the road this week.

10 post already huh? wonder who you were in a previous life.

You mean because Miami started 0-2 last year and then reeled off 11 wins in tehir next 13 games, or the Miami the year before that who only won one game and it was against the Ravens the prior year?

You don't even know what you are talking about, yet you pressume you do. Why don't you go back to the p Box.
