The Dallas Cowboys took a beating in their Week 8 matchup with the Denver Broncos. The 44-24 drubbing erased all the good vibes that had been building around Dallas after it seemed their defense was starting
to come together just a bit. Turns out that was a false dawn.
Injuries, just plain bad play, mixed in with some untimely penalties, all added up to a horrendous performance by the defense. Around the same time, Dak Prescott had one of his poorer games in a while, so the offense couldn’t keep up. Some credit has to go to the Denver defense, too.
Now the Cowboys return back home for Week 9, a Monday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. After that, Dallas has a bye. So the Cowboys can enter that week off with an even 4-4-1 record with a win, or a 3-5-1 record with a loss. The Cardinals are having a poor year at 2-5 so just might be what Dallas needs to pick up some momentum going into the bye week.
Our friends at FanDuel currently have the Cowboys as three-point favorites at home. After the performance against the Broncos, it might be hard to find fans who believe the Cowboys should be favored. What’s your call BTB, would you give three points and take the Cowboys?
