Dallas Cowboys Betting
The 2008 NFL Dallas Cowboys have a deep and talented roster on both offense and defense. Sportsbooks give the Cowboys the 4th best odds in the preseason of winning the Super Bowl and expect them to win at least 10 regular season games in 2008. Jerry Jones spent $70M in the off season on Terrell Owens, Zach Thomas and Adam Jones to get the Cowboys over the "Simpson" hump.
Dallas Cowboys Key Additions
RB Felix Jones
LB Zach Thomas
CB Adam Jones
Dallas Cowboys Key Losses
RB Julius Jones
S Keith Davis
The Dallas Cowboys sent 13 players to the Pro Bowl and all 13 are returning this year which shows the talent level on the Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys let Julius Jones go to Seattle through free agency and will give Marion Barber the opportunity to seize more carries and become the dedicated #1 running back. The Cowboys drafted RB Felix Jones to add depth at RB. The offensive will be solid as long as they continue to have an effective running game and balanced run-pass ratio. The offensive line is solid behind RG Leonard Davis, LT Flozell Adams and C Andre Gurode and should be able to open up holes for any RB.
he Dallas defense has game breakers in DeMarcus Ware and Roy Williams AKA Horsecollar. The defense added some depth with veteran MLB Zach Thomas and CB Adam "No More Strip Clubs" Jones AKA Pacman. The Cowboys will need that depth as they play six games against top offenses in 2008
