Even the Sportswriters in Dallas think the Cowboys are full of excuses.

Answer 1

They are full of excuses... I'm pretty sure they will have this one though

Answer 2

They will win.

Answer 3

I think they will.

Even though pre-season is basically meaningless as far as wins and losses, the Cowboys really dont want to start 0-3. Its just not good for the overall mental health of the team.

I kinda sense a cowboy Blowout tonite. But as i said pre-season is meaningless and unpredictable-- so you never can tell.

Answer 4

Preseason means nothing compared to the regular season. Why anyone would bet on the preseason - even for something like 5 bucks - is stupid. Dallas wins big IMO.

Answer 5

Full of excuses?  It's preseason and the second and third stringers have played a majority of it.  I'm just ready for the regular season to start so people will shut up about how good or bad a team looks until it actually means something.

Answer 6

It's preseason, so, anyone who gives credence to  point spread is foolish... I sure hope nobody would actually bet on odds in preseason. Coaches do things like gamble on 4th down much more than they would in the regular season

But, Dallas is the better team as far as starters are concerned.

Answer 7

They will have another excuse just like they still using excuses on why they lost to the Giants in the playoffs.

Answer 8

Yes the cowboys will win tonight buy at least 2 touchdows.

Answer 9

Dallas will by a touchdown. Why do you think the books are giving only 5 1/2?..

inside tip.. When the spread is more than 3 1/2 but less than 6 1/2 the books think the team will cover by a touch down.  

Answer 10

Quite Frankly They are Focused on winning at this point in preseason simply because they need a push for Regular season to see how well the first team / Starters are coordinated and where they need improvements. First two games were experimental to see how their 2nd and 3rd stringers play. At this point The Starters need to gel and work out kinks. Dallas Wins, 28-21.
