uhhhhm can someone explain to me?

let me start by saying i am a huge cowboy fan. i also live in dallas. i see alot of you boys are on dallas today and the line is goin up and i just dont get it. i know dallas is 15-5 comin off the bye, but has anyone been watchin the same cowboy team as ive been watchin. mistakes mistakes mistakes. by the way atlanta is one of the most efficient team in the nfl. this cowboy fan will be on atlanta to cover and to cover big. any thoughts?

the reason you see so many on here playing Dallas is because of the line moving from 3 to 5

Just because line is going up doesn't mean they will cover. Line moves are a 50/50 proposition.
However teams coming off the bye week are doing very nice every year.

I know this post is after the game...

but Dallas is not as bad as they have played. They have average 24.4 points per game. That is ranked 11th. They total close to 400 yards per game with 161 coming from the run and 259 from the air. ranked 6th, 3rd, and 9th.

Dallas is an offensive power. Now on D they have some problems in the secondary. They give up 106 (17th) on the ground and a big 251 (26th) in the air.

ATL OFF ranks 24 via the run and 15th in the air. DEF is 24th versus the run and 21th against the pass.

Bottom line: Dallas at home with a superior offense and equal Def. Plus rested.

i live in arlington too, and was thinking cowboys win but falcons cover, this team is such a roller coaster week to week, reminds me of the chargers, just very inconsistent, so much talent but dont bring it every week
