im sure everyone on Dal, but i say Ten will come thru with a W

 

 

 

I have to agree if u are talking in terms of spreads.  I'm a lifelong dallas fan and have basically seen every dallas game since 1989.  Dallas SUCKS this year, but they are still every much one of the top 2 teams in the NFC EAST with Philly being the other.   personally, I wouldn't be too confident in betting this game, but if I had to pick a side I'm thinking Tenn + 6.5 as well. If dallas does happen to win this game it's going to be by the skin of their teeth.

dallas will win and cover here.. they just had a by week and are coming back strong tenn falls in this game by 10

Dallas shouldn't be giving anybody any points. Tenn +6.0? That takes away Dallas' first 2 FGs. This is the same team that can't score TDs.

Tenn +6.0 is the play.

Actually the easiest game on th eboard. Dallas wins this one going away. Take the chalk

    It's crunch time for the Boys! If they can smack around the Texans, the Titans will also fall. Don't look now, but the lines moving up!

COWBOYS!     -   6.5

 

 

I'm a diehard dallas fan for life.  I can assure u there is no such thing as a given or gimme when it comes to dallas.  This team lost to Wash in week 1 when Mcnabb and co couldn't generate any offense.  and Tenn only has the BEST RB arguably in the entire nfl.  think about it..........    i'm always pulling for my dallas cowboys btw

very surprised to see more people on tennessee here... they have a one dimensional attack, have gotten little more than a couple games worth of ball security from vince young, and are now going on the road against a top 10 run defense (considerably better than denver) and a top 15 pass defense, about the same as denver, but definitely good enough to contain a mediocre quarterback.  Sure dallas sucked out the gate, but as much as i hate them, they are not going away any time soon and are very good off a bye (su/ats).

Tennessee meanwhile, was exposed last week.  and while i really like the broncos offense this year, tennessee was a top 5 pass defense before orton shreded them for 340.  They're value is inflated from two inflated wins, one against the worst run defense in the NFL (oakland) so obviously they'd win that one going away.  The second against the giants which was A LOT closer than it looked as the giants statistically dominated, but threw the game away on stupid mistakes.

johnson is good, but he'll be facing A LOT of sets with 8 in the box until young and his mediocre pass catching crew can get something working and this is not the game for that.

Dallas wins this one going away... probably around 24-13

DAL -6.5

Dallas giving the points. Dallas finally came alive a little before the bye after ditching the run and spreading the ball around. I don't think Tennessee has stopped a pass since week 2 so Romo and company should be up for a big game. On the other hand Dallas isn't great on run D, but they are descent and Johnson hasn't been great this season. Young will probably have to do some himself and I don't think they'll be able to keep up here.

Trendwise, since the divisional re-allignment home favorites are a healthy 57-40-1 ATS coming off a bye as well. I wish the Boys were on the road here as road favorites are a ridiculous 32-10 ATS off the bye in that time.

 

Dude, every week you come in a Dallas thread and bash them, take a look at your team the Giants are by no means lighting up the score board. Eli has more Int's then TD's. Lets just see what Giants do against a team that Dallas beat fairly easy.

Dallas off a bye week = money....


just look it up real quick on their past schedules...



they covered the last 4 years + (i stopped looking after 4 lol)

Dallas defense matches up well here.  They have two strong corners that can effectively play man on the average Tenn receivers and allow the rest of the defense to stop Johnson.  Which btw Dallas is strong against the run.  Dallas offense looks to be getting it together.  While I don't expect them to look great in this spot, they will outplay the Tenn offense.  Dallas by 7...matchup is favorable in styles.

Only two teams that have a good QB and can throw the ball well that Tenn faced...NYG and Denver...torched them for 380+ and 340+ through the air.  Just happens to be Titans' last two games.  Romo will do same and Cowboys should benefit from good field position in this one.

I like the matchup for Dallas and I like favorites off bye weeks. Romo has a pretty good chance of torching an already singed secondary and Dallas should be able to reasonably hand CJ since they can stack the box.

GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!! THEY WILL COVER BY DOUBLE DIGITS.  THERE IS ONLY SO MANY RUNNING PLAYS FOR CHRIS JOHNSON TO RUN AND HE WILL BE CONTAINED.  ONCE VINCE YOUNG DROPS BACK TO PASS, HE IS GOING TO GET POPPED SEVERAL TIMES BY WARE AND THE DALLAS D AND HE WILL MAKE MISTAKES.  NO DISRESPECT TO MR. JOHNSON OR MR. YOUNG.

DALLAS-6.5

just think their ready to start playing football. and i think their a better team. plain n simple

GL 

Dallas at home off a bye on the books side

Dallas -6.5  AND Under   !!!

Dallas       -7   (-102)

i hate the cowboys but they seem to be back into a positive rhythm with some playmakers finally makin some plays and defense lookin really good.  as much as i hate on the cowgirls, i must admit that this team is a few plays from being undefeated and there is plenty good reason theyre a high fave at home against Vince Young & The Titans.  Vince Young & Company had trouble outscoring Denver in Tennessee so what makes you think they'll be able to keep up with The Cowboys in Dallas?  Especially when the Cowboys are behind in their division and so the next few weeks, they should be really intense.

Cowboys minus whatever because there's not a more comfortable spot than being up a few scores on Vince Young w/ average receivers

I agree with with DAL pick, especially with the mindset of the team coming into the bye...  It would different if they were undefeated.. they would be 8-10 point favs and over confident...

With that said I agree with you about VY having to play from behind, but I worry about a QB change resulting in the shift of a 2 score DAL lead into a 1 score DAL lead...   DAL will need to be able to run the ball if they are up...

Dallas Cowboys -7

I think TEN has a chance to win this SU, so I'll take the +7

Man u have some good posts on non-Cowbilly er uh-- Cowboy gamesbut when it comes to Dallas your opinion is neutralized...Dal is after a bye week and it's like Vegas is begging public to take the Tit-ans.....Gotta go with Dallas....by the way what happ to the child rapist avatar u had????? Shlda put Pepper Johnson instead.......
