Cowboys open as 1 pt favorites over the Chargers

Cowboys were ok for the first part of the game tonight, then their D folded. I guess they could come back from being embarrassed on SNF, but without Elliott, they are kind of one-dimensional and couldn't get into the end-zone.

The Chargers still haven't played with a HFA, but the game wasn't a sell-out, and probably the most even game with the Bills fans stifled. Cowboy fans might have given up after tonight...heard a lot of Eggles fans, so maybe that's why the normal HF credit is down. Playing smart, the team is just better than Cowboys.

There are always a surprising number of people from other teams at Dallas games - lot of transplants there.

As an update to this, I saw another line that had the Cowboys as 3.5 pt favorites.

Sean Lee will likely miss the Thanksgiving game. That is big. He is the most important part of that defense, physically and emotionally. Him being out is a big let down for the whole team.

Not sure if getting crushed and the season looking like it is over is going to motivate the Cowboys or make them fold. Chargers have much more experience at that, unfortunately, and seem to never give up or get down. I just hope Chargers don't get full of themselves (Boston) after beating up on the Bills. Cowboys have the advantage of playing these games every year and knowing how to prepare.

Is Dallas LT coming back for this game?

Opened at Dallas -4 at some shops and is PK almost everywhere now.

I don't know if he was able to practice in the last week, and if he didn't, he won't be ready against Bosa/Ingram. Both teams won't be doing anything harder than non-contact walkthroughs.

Pro-Cowboys sport radios here in Texas are talking like they're pooping their pants with Rivers and our pass rushes coming to town.

Rivers haven't really up to par this year but he's still that name that put fear into common football fans.

I suspect we had bad defensive coaches last few years. Bradley basically turns the same personnel into a unit that put fear into people mind.

Ingram and Bosa stepped up to an elite level where they're playing like Hall of Famers. In the past they were great, but not "this" great. People actually fear them.

Kudos to Bradley and the new defensive coaches he recommended.

If he could eliminate the one play were a LB is one on one with a WR that would really help matters

Point spread seems about right.

Lee being out is huge. How about Tryonn Smith? If he is out too, I really like the Bolts chances.

[Formula 21]

The D is playing tougher and closer to the line recently. I like it. Our best D schemes and execution in years. And our corners look tough one on one.

Amen. That seems to get exploited at least once every game.
