The Dallas Cowboys only won six games in 2010.  But the wiseguys in Vegas like how the Cowboys looked after Jason Garrett took over as the head coach.  So did I and I think he’s going to do a good job once again in 2011.  The Cowboys only have 7 games against teams that had winning records in 2010, so the schedule sets up for a big comeback in 2011 for the Cowboys.  I would bet on the over for the Cowboys in 2011 as I think they will be the 2nd best team in the NFC East, behind only the Eagles.

The wiseguys have just the right number in 2010 as the Cowboys went 11-5 last year.  I think the Cowboys are going to win the NFC East again but this time with only a 10-6 record.  That means if I had to make a bet on the Cowboys it would be a small one on the under.  The Cowboys are 10-1 to win the Super Bowl on their own field.  I would caution that before laying your cash down on the Cowboys that would mean that Wade Phillips would have to win 3 or 4 post season games in a row and I just don’t see it happening.

That total is one that has to make you pause a minute and think about it but I still like the over.  I like the fact that Jerry Jones is taking talent that has huge upsides like Pacman Jones and not worrying too much about off the field behavior.  The Cowboys have the most talented roster in the NFL and they will win a lot of game despite playing a tough schedule.  Take the over and hope the team stays healthy.

I like the over for the Cowboys and I will tell you why.  Tony Romo has so many weapons on the Cowboys that it’s hard to keep everyone happy and that’s a very good problem to have.  Also, don’t overlook the other side of the football as the Cowboys will be starting 7 former first round picks on that side of the football.  Adding S Ken Hamlin will make Roy Williams a better player because he can move back into the box and help the run defense.  Also, watch rookie OLB Anthony Spencer as he’s going to be an impact player.  Think over the total and maybe make a small wager on the Cowboys to win the NFC as they are just as talented as either the Bears or the Saints.
