Some good points boys, but remenber a few things from the Bear/Falcons game. Bears cut Falcons to ribbons on overall yardage. Had 3 misques inside the 5. Not that crazy about Falcon secondary and they have to show me they win a bin game on the road. Ya, they handled Shawn Hill and Issac Bruce on the road, but Dallas is fresh and will be attacking that secondary. Felix Jones is back and as inconsistent as Romo has been, he still has a solid run blocking O-line. If Dallas loses this game, they might now make the playoffs. Huge game for Romo and Witten to get back in national spotlight for something positive. Cowboys and momentum from bye week and home crowd lead the way. Dallas 33 Falcons 28. PS Mike Turner must help out Falcon offense, he needs a big day or will put Matty Ryan in a tough spot.

Tough game to call. My first thought was, Dallas is favored?
There are some reasons to like the Boys in this game. Looking at trends Ryan is much better ats at home and the one posted by Zucchero. The reverse line movement. Dallas is starting to healthy, while the Falcons are banged up in their secondary. Miles Austin.
The only game the Falcons have struggled all year has been against the Pats. In that game Fred Taylor was able to run all over Atl in route to a 10-26 NE victory. I wouldnt be shocked if the Cowboys running backs are able to duplicate Freddy T. You can say that they held Mia and Car running games in check. They also had Jerry for both of those games and Mia really played badly that week. Carolina's head coach Fox, just seemed to not realize that their best chances to win would have been to give the ball to their 2 best players who happen to be running backs. Atl is ranked 27th against run, in terms of ypc.
Of course, an easy argument can be made for the Falcons. Starting with how they have only allowed 2 sacks all season, both is week 1. Dallas only has 10 sacks all year, however 7 of them have come in the last 2 weeks.
Dallas -4

very significant early RLM as the public has every reason to think that atlanta is the better team here, having seen the boys lose to denver late and need an overtime TD to put away the feeble chiefs. Nevertheless, they opened as 3 point favorites and with an early public beating of the falcons, the line only made it easier on the public to pound the points. Nevertheless, i'm not quite as convinced that the falcons are who we think they are. Meanwhile, cowboy stock is running pretty cheap these days and we all know that buying low is the way to go.
Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week
Cowboys are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite
DAL -4.5

Well, well my 2 fav NFL teams going at it here, but of course I gotta homer up with my pick. I see more playmakers on the bird-dogs, only concern is the D which has played above and beyond what I expected so far. A team like NE can exploit those kinda things, Cowboys still have to prove it. Now lets get this -- FALCONS +4.5 & UNDER 47.5

This is an obvious trap play, Its gonna make everyone bet on ATL especially since Dallas hasn't been covering ATS, but I personally think that Dallas' O-line will overpower the ATL's D-line, and win this game. Hopefully Romo finally pulls his head out of his A$$. Going with the cowboys no matter how much i hate them, the thing is I love money way more

Over does look good. Romo cant be trusted is my feeling right now.
after bye and home looks good. With Roger Staubach. but Romo, I cant put money on them right now is my feeling. Ints? The deep ball beat down? Cowboys story last 3 years and wont seem to go away
excellent point. Romo is a good qb...FACT. but is he great?? well, he averages basically 1 int per game. that's an int per game. don't let Romo have a bad game and his int # will be higher. ATL has a consistent offensive identity, Dallas does not.
one game Dallas is running over people (game 1 against giants) and still puts the ball in the air to the tune of 3 ints by Romo. and the next Dallas is airing it out against KC and Miles Austin is all of a sudden a "hero". as a die hard Dallas fan for approx 30 years I've learned not to depend on the boys for anything...unless it's an obviously bad team like Tampa. I don't doubt that Dallas will win, but I would bet anyone here that it will be a close game up until the last 1.5 minutes. that's why I put my faith in the over. Heck, is Felix Jones even playing? and if he is...would it even matter? a weapon is only as good as the person wielding it and dallas backers are counting on Jason Garret and Wade to come through. Plus....isn't Roy Williams WR hurt? oh yeah he is. GL Dallas backers.. GL I'm still on the over so I don't have to worry about who does what and why.

The NFC South doesn't fair to well in Dallas. The zebras seem to always give Dallas a little more home cooking over the small market teams over in the NFC South. My opinion is to be careful on this game guys. I'm taking Dallas -4.5. Only for the reason I gave above that Dallas will get away with more at home against Atlanta.
