Thanks Vegas

Hahaha... Dallas is 3 point FAVORITES going into Denver this Sunday. I was shocked too... the 2-1 Cowboys against the 3-0 Broncos... usually for a game between two (fairly) equal teams, the home-team gives up the points... so this was a pleasant surprise.

This tells me a couple things... One thing that I take from it is that the Broncos should not be 3-0 (they'd be 2-1 if not for the 'immaculate deflection' against Cincinnati in the last seconds of the game... plus the other two teams they beat were Cleveland and Oakland, who do not have winning records.) The Broncos might not be as good as their record (please God don't make me eat those words...)

Another thing Vegas sees that some don't is that Dallas is a very good team... sure they had a shaky game against the Giants, but they only lost by 2 points and the Giants are being touted as one of the best teams in the league... to lose by only 2 points to the 'best' team isn't half bad...

Not that Vegas isn't wrong at least a few times a week, but this was definitely a nice thing to see when I cracked open the Sports section today.

Also, since I'm here, I might as well put out my prediction for the upcoming game since I most likely won't be posting another entry until my Week 4 Recap.

I have faith in this Cowboys' team, especially how they turned it around in the second half of Monday's game... There's going to be a tough defense to contend with, as well as the 'thin air,' from being at such a high altitude... these things should be minor and hopefully Dallas will stick to running and play a smart and conservative game with little error... we'll see... Jason Garrett likes to play a little risky at times... I still see a Dallas victory of 32-17... well I'd like to see it anyway...
