The Dallas Cowboys won on Sunday, but they didn’t win any hearts in the gambling community. Dallas managed to win over the New York Giants, 40-37 in overtime, but they sure took the hard way getting there. It was almost like they were using a new strategy where they didn’t cover the opposition’s receivers. That’s a bold strategy.
Winning when it comes to the team’s record and the chase for the playoffs is either yes or no. You either won or you didn’t. But when it comes to people believing in you, winning ugly and winning pretty do make a difference. The Cowboys have flaws and they were on full display in that game. There was definitely some ugly.
So even though Dallas is 1-1, and their opponent next week, the Chicago Bears, is 0-2, the Cowboys are still the underdogs. 1.5-point underdogs according to FanDuel. Yes, Dallas has to go on the road for this game, but underdogs? I guess if you squint just right, you can still see Malik Nabers running behind the Cowboys secondary, so maybe they should be underdogs.
