If you know me, you know that I am a die-hard Cowboys fan til the end and I wish nothing but success for my team, but even I was surprised when I opened up the sports section and saw that Dallas is actually being favored by 4 points over the Falcons.
I don't know what kind of bizarro world I woke up to, or what Vegas is thinking, but I've actually watched Dallas play the first 5 games, and the 3 wins they did manage were anything but pretty. Atlanta, however, is 4-1 and is having success all around... they're looking pretty good too.
If I were a betting man, (which I am... except when my team's involved,) I would take Atlanta getting 4 points.
The only thing I can think of is the fact that Dallas is coming off of a bye week, which means an extra week of preparation, but even with that I'm not very confident they can pull out a victory against Atlanta, whose quarterback is impressive, running game is dynamic and defense is coming along nicely as well.
Another factor in the 'favored' position might be that Felix Jones and Roy Williams should be healthy... should is the key word there.
It's only Tuesday and I expect that line to change a bit, and I of course hope and pray that Dallas will win, but let's just see how this week goes.
