    Cowboy$$$ the texans will be without there starting left tackle. Ware will have a field day in this one. Duane Brown has started the last 34 games for the texans but he is being replaced by someone making his first career start. I like the boys in this one. People have to realize that a LT is one of the most important positions on the team with him missing it will be reflected in the play calling they know they cant afford to have Schaub missing for any amount of time. Andre Johnson is also banged up and there secondary isn't exactly top notch. Not a cowboys fan talking here either. I Still think the Texans will win 11 or 12 games which make them a good team but 11 or 12 win teams also have 4 or 5 losses and this will be one of them.

      I thought the Cowboys would be 2-0 and the Texans would be 0-2 after their first 2 games. I am having a crappy year at NFL handicapping, so you don't even want to ask me.

          If the same stats on 2 different teams you would see a -4

          Everyone would be all over cowboys +4 and personally I would juice it to 4.5

              according here, texans still have nearly 70% of the action and the line is starting to move from 3 down to 2.5 .. the sbr odds page shows some of the books at 3 still and a few down to 2.5 including pinny

              do we make anything of this?

                  The Texans are +money favorite. That's never good. Dallas is the play pending further line movement.

                    I'm taking the Texans. This will be their Super Bowl, again, wanting Texas bragging rights. Just a standard play, though.

                    I'm not too worried about the LT being out. The zone blocking scheme they use is more forgiving than other schemes.

                    I still like the Cowboys, down the road, but I gotta ride the hot team and bet against the cold team. Even if Dallas starts 0-3, this division isn't what it used to be, they could still come back and win it.

                              I am very confident, but no matter how confident you are, you'd have to be an idiot to lay -2 on a +3 dog without getting big odds for doing it.

                                10-4 exactly what I was thinking after reading a lot of the comments in this thread... There were plenty of idiot comments so I want someone to put there money where there mouth is....

                                  Good teams find a way to win, bad ones find a way to lose. If anyone has proven that statement over the past few seasons its the Texans. So many games last season were lost over a fumble or a missed field goal. They've turned it around this season and are finding ways to win.

                                  "Houston has seven scoring drives of 70-plus yards, producing 41 points.The Cowboys have two scoring drives of 70-plus yards, producing 10 points."

                                  Cowboys are 4th in yards, but tied with STL at number 26 in points scored. The Texans on the other hand lead in yards and are number 1 in points scored. They drove 81 yards with a minute left on the clock against a top 5 defense on the road.

                                  I'm alittle bias since I'm a homer, but I don't know how anyone would wanna take a team that can't get there shit together compared to a team thats firing on all cylinders with the home field advantage.

                                        Hou is a better team. If Cutler can tear there secondary up think of what Schaub will do...my goodness.

                                              Ok here's the deal on this game - Dallas is not as bad as they have looked and Houston is not as good as they are given credit for.

                                              Houston - So they beat the Colts for the first time in what 18 games - big deal. They were at home and the Colts made many crucial mistakes or it would have been a very different game - despite Arian Foster gashing the Colts D for 240 some yards. Houston is definitely a team on the rise, but let's get real, this team has never made the playoffs and had their FIRST EVER winning season last year at 9-7. Houston was basically outplayed by a mediocre Washington team for 3 quarters and was lucky to get that game to overtime but for Andre Johnson being a beast on a jump ball on 4th and 10.

                                              Dallas - What can you say about the Boys, they are living up to their reputation as a perennial underachiever.

                                              Let's first start with dismissing the preseason game between these two teams where Houston dominated. That game meant nothing to Dallas and everything to Houston as evidenced by their blitzing Romo on 21 out of the 30 plays that he played. Preaseason games are seldom game-planned and "stunting it up" on the second to last preseason game is evidence that Houston really wanted to win the game rather than evaluating players. Dallas had just broke camp and were returning to Dallas after this game, following 2 weeks in San Antonio and 2 weeks in California for training camp. The Cowboys just wanted to be home.

                                              On the the regular season - Yes, that same "mediocre" Washington team beat Dallas in week 1. We all saw what happened in that game so there is really no need to discuss it. Dallas was and is clearly the better team but add in two injured starting lineman, 12 penalties, a crucial turnover, a missed chip shot field goal, bonehead play-calling and time-management and you have a road loss to a hated rival in which Washington did absolutely nothing worth mentioning to earn the win.

                                              Week 2 at home vs Chicago is a different story - Dallas defense was exposed by Mike Martz and Cutler. After a total domination in most of the first quarter where Cutler was running for his life and getting beat down like a stepchild, Martz spread em out and found matchups that favored the Bears. Dallas defense failed to adjust and the result was three big plays by Chicago that turned the game. Not to mention the three turnovers, another missed field goal, and 6 more penalties by the mentally undisciplined Cowboys.


                                              This week - The spread just about reflects the fact that Houston and Dallas are about even in the game - with Houston playing at home. Whichever team makes the most mistakes will lose - simple as that. I look for a Dallas team that has it's back against the wall to come thorugh with a SU victory against the Texans this week. The NFL has a way of evening out things along the long road of the regular season and it seems that, while neither of these teams is elite, smart money would be on the team that has won 13, 9, and 11 games over the last three years rather than 8, 8, and 9. Dallas will find a way to limit the penalties and turnovers and mental mistakes and this game, unlike the preseason, means more to the Cowboys. Houston has not shown it can stop anyone on defense and despite their problems so far with the running game, Dallas has shown it can move the ball at will between the 20s, but this is the week that they will punch it in to the endzone more regularly.


                                              Dallas 27-20

                                                  I've been waiting on , not necessarily wagering on, Dallas for like forever. Everyone saye 'this is the game" Dallas breaks out. I'll believe it after the fact. They do have the Hou D secondary going for them this week...they give up a ton. And they are bad as home faves. But, if you ask me, Romo is seriously lacking. Andso is the coach.

                                                    Dallas Cowboys are dysfunctional. There is no leader in the locker room. No one on offense or defense. The coach is a puppet of the owner and the one calling the shots on offense reports to the owner instead to the head coach. I would fade the Cowboys until they prove me wrong. I have been fading them since the playoff game with Vikings last year and will not stop until they prove it on the field.

                                                      Remind what team the past 2 weeks has made silly mistakes costing them the game over and over again?

                                                      So we should take the team that has done better the past 3 years? By that theory the Saints should of never won the Super Bowl last season. 8-8 2008 and 7-9 in 2007. Sounds alot of the Texans huh?

                                                      Houston doesn't need to stop anyone because no one has been able to stop them.

                                                      Doesn't matter how well Dallas moves the ball if they can't score.

                                                          Yes I'm bias but everything I said is backed up by facts. Check the stats for yourself. Dallas hasn't been able to score, if I wasn't on my phone I'd tell you the exact rank of there offense and the Texans offense. I'm positive Houston is number one and Dallas is probably bottom ten. Yes when I stated the cowboys have been making dumb mistakes is an opinion but anyone who watched there games could easily see that. If only there was a dumb mistakes stat.
