Dallas Cowboys NFL Betting Odds

Last Season

The Dallas Cowboys played like stars in the 2007 NFL season, which is why their fans were so disappointed and let down when the top-rated Texas team could not repeat their high level of play in the 2008 NFL Season. Throughout the season the Cowboys were plagued by problems off the field, and in the last weeks even hit rock bottom. They lost 3 out of their last 4 games, including a crucial game against the Philadelphia Eagles where a win would have kept their playoffs hopes alive. But the Cowboys lost 44-6, ending the season on 9-7. Nuff said.

Off Season

Given the Dallas Cowboys fall from grace last season, the team was eager to get back on track during the off-season. So turning to the 2009 NFL Draft, the Cowboys went shopping. For their defense they selected outside linebacker, Jason Williams, who is expected to yield his full potential in upcoming seasons, and for their offense they selected offensive tackle, Robert Brewster, who 'understands the game very well'. The Cowboys sent the irksome Terrell Owens packing, who was reportedly at the root of the in-fighting last season, and also bid farewell to defensive end Chris Canty. He was replaced with Igor Olshansky from San Diego.

2009 Preview

Head coach Wade Phillips has been given one last shot to turn the Dallas Cowboys into a well-oiled and cohesive team. If he fails expect the team's offensive coordinator, Jason Garrett, to step up. This season the Cowboys will need to rely more on WR Roy Williams to drive the offense and initiate more of a running game with the help of solid running backs, Marion Barber and Felix Jones. Tight end, Jason Witten, will also have a big part to play this season, as the ideal player to help open up the offense. The Cowboys should benefit greatly from the signing of linebacker, Keith Brooking, who is expected to bolster the team's defense.

2009 Prediction

After their poor 008 NFL season, it's time for the Dallas Cowboys to step up this season and regain their championship form. While the team has its detractors who feel that it has not done enough in the off-season to turn things around, for its fans, WR Roy Williams will be the Cowboys' saving grace as the player to restore both confidence and a sense of pride in the team.

**Our Pick It will not surprise us if this team finishes last in the division. It will surprise us if they make the playoffs. They need a better gag reflex because these Cowboys are chokers.
