The old shitty Cowboys defense held the Seahawks to 13 points last year. Romo had fun all day throwing for 19/31, 279, 2 tds, 9 yards a pass, and a QBR of 112.2 and DeMarco Murray rushed for 139 yards and 6.3 yards against the same Seahawks team last season.

Dallas had a top 10 offense statistically last year, even though; Murray didn’t start until week 8, so Dallas will be fine on the offensive side of that ball against the Seahawks. Dallas had an offensive line that gave up 50 sacks last season when they played the Seahawks and you know how many sacks the Seahawks had? Zero!

People actually think that the rookie is going to have success against the deepest pass-rushing roster they’ve had in 17 years, you have to be a square. Rob Ryan has so many players to stop the run and put up a pass rush at his disposal. I don’t even want to waste time typing all of their names on here.

In previous match ups, the -men would get 130 yards on the ground, you know why? Dallas had two dinosaurs playing the middle of the field stopping the rush. Dallas held the -men to 82 yards on the ground and the only reason it was 82 and not 49 yards is one big run, so Dallas completely shut down the run.

The old busted up dinosaurs Brooking and James are both gone. Now, Dallas has a 3-headed monster to stop the run, Dan Connor, Bruce Carter, and Sean Lee. These guys are young pro bowl caliber players, so the days of running all over Dallas are over.

Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr are both shut down number 1 cornerbacks. Orlando Scandrick is paid as if he is a number 1 cornerback. Jerry jones has a lot of faith in him and I’m hoping Scandrick finally lives up to expectations this season.

Then there is last years number 1 cornerback Mike Jenkins, who can flat out ball, but is always injured. Jenkins is going to play for the first time this season on Sunday, so Dallas has four-corners who can play in the league on the team this year.

The safety position has veteran Sensabaugh and is filled with speed, youth, and promising talent. Next season the safety position will be just as elite, as the corner positions are. This defense is going to make the kid shit his pants on Sunday.

My numbers have this game being a 23-20 type of game, but I’m using old numbers. I can’t really cap this defense because I don’t have enough information on them yet, I think it should be more of a 34-20 final score because the cowboys defense should make some big plays to put the offense in positions to put up points.

The funny thing is Dallas isn’t even at full strength yet and is playing at a high level. If Dallas were at full strength on Sunday and had everyone healthy on the field, I would have this game being around a 41-13 blowout.

This week:

 

New England is this week’s easy pick.  Currently -1/2.

 

This next game looks like it will rival WAS/STL for sucker bets of the week, but I like Baltimore here, especially getting 15.5.

 

With the last two spots, here are the games I’m considering:

Packers +7.5

Giants +5.5

Colts +14.5

Panthers +15.5

Texans +6

Steelers +7.5

49ers +6.5

Broncos +16

 

Like I did last week, of the plays above, what opposing QBs can hurt me most?

Cutler at GB…Freeman at NYG…Ponder at IND…Brees at CAR…Gabbert v. TEX…Sanchez at PIT…Stafford at SF…Ryan v. DEN.

 

Of that group the ones I want to take out immediately are Brees/CAR, and Ryan/DEN.  I see that Saints/Panthers game falling between NOR +10.5 and CAR +15.5, but I don’t need to hope that Brees doesn’t outscore Carolina by 17.  I think Denver has a better chance of winning straight up than losing by 17, but I won’t go against the Falcons at home here unless I really need to.

The last two spots are down to:

Packers +7.5

Giants +5.5

Texans +6

Steelers +7.5

49ers +6.5

 

I think these are all solid straight up winners, but the first one I’d remove is the Texans based on line value alone.  In addition, it’s a division road game with 1, 3, and 4 the only helpful numbers here.  Also, the Texans’ recent performances at JAX aren’t encouraging:

 

2011 – W by 10

2010 – L by 7

2009 – L by 5

2008 – L by 3

2007 – L by 20

 

Again, Bucs fan here, and as nice of a surprise as that victory over the Panthers was, I think it’s asking a bit too much to get up for a win at the defending champs coming off an opening loss.  But as with Houston 1, 3, and 4 are the only useful numbers here.  I like the Steelers getting over a TD at home against the Jets, but do I want to get in front of that New York offense, even though I’m pretty sure week 1 was an anomaly. 

 

I’ll roll with the Packers +7.5 and Niners +6.5.  Sure there’s nothing saying the Packers can’t start 0-2, but I’ll stand by last week’s logic.  I’ll take the team that didn’t lose at home last year to not lose by 8 at home for the second week in a row.  Maybe I’m drinking the kool aid, but that GB game was the best game I’ve seen SF play during Harbaugh’s brief tenure.  They’re returning home where they went 7-1 last year and won by a margin of 19.57 points.  That one loss was that weird OT game in week 2 against Dallas.  I don’t think they get another week 2 scare here, especially coming off what we witnessed last week.

 

Final play –

Patriots -1/2

Ravens +15.5

Packers +7.5

49ers +6.5
