Dallas Cowboys Update: Jones May Finally See the Light
January 24, 2012 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
As the Super Bowl betting approaches, the Dallas Cowboys are once again on the outside looking in as the team did not make the playoffs this year. In past off-seasons, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones would indicate that the team had no plans on making major changes, even though changes were desperately needed. The Cowboys have needed to attend to its offensive line and defensive secondary for three years now, but Jones had refused to act. All of that may be changing if Jones remains true to his recent statements.
The price per head sports experts were wondering which area of the team that Jones would address first and it looks like it will be the defensive secondary. The Cowboys became infamous for giving up long plays to the opposing offense with the run and the pass. But the biggest offenders were the players in the defensive secondary. Jerry Jones has vowed that Cowboys’ fans will see several new faces in the Cowboys’ defensive secondary when training camp opens for the 2012 season. Jones did not comment on the offensive line or indicate when changes would be made to that unit.
The pay per head sports experts have been projecting for weeks now that the Cowboys will be taking a top-tier quarterback in the 2012 draft. Many of the experts have been suggesting a second or third-round pick, while others have gone so far as to say that the Cowboys will use its first pick to take Tony Romo’s replacement. Jerry Jones was asked about the possibility of the Cowboys choosing a quarterback in this draft and he indicated that the team was happy with starter Tony Romo and backup Stephen McGee. No changes are expected at the quarterback position for the 2012 season.
A sportsbook review of the Cowboys’ past activity in free agency shows a team that has either been hesitant to sign the big names or has lost out to other teams. This off-season, the Cowboys fully intend to be active in the free agent market to get the players it needs to compete in 2012. Jerry Jones was asked about the team’s potential activity in free agency and he said that the team had plenty of room under the salary cap and it was going to use that room to grab good free agents. Jones would not elaborate on which free agents the Cowboys were keeping an eye on, but he did say that the fans can expect activity this year to strengthen the team.
In a move that Dallas Cowboys’ fans would only describe as a betonline scam, CNBC released a list of the top 10 cheerleading squads in the NFL and the Cowboys’ cheerleaders were not the top group. The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are one of the more famous groups of cheerleaders in the world thanks to an active marketing campaign that dates back to the 1970s. But when the squads were placed side-by-side and evaluated using categories such as presentation, community involvement and ability to get the fans involved in the game, the New England Patriots’ cheerleaders were ranked number one and the Cowboys’ cheerleaders were ranked number two. It is just another way in which the Dallas organization has dropped a notch or two in the past few years.
Dallas Cowboys News: Off-Season Not Off to a Good Start for Bryant
January 17, 2012 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
The sport betting experts try to give Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver Dez Bryant all the credit they can. When Bryant was having problems with hundreds of thousands of dollars in money owed for jewelry, the media made sure that it reported any of the payments Bryant made. It was expected that some of his teammates would talk to Bryant about his behavior off the field and how beneficial it can be to stay out of the limelight in the off-season. But if his teammates were talking, then Dez Bryant was not listening.
According to the price per head sports experts, Bryant was detained by police in Miami Beach after he got into yet another altercation with an unknown group. It is believed that the other party was part of a rap artist’s entourage, but no details have been released. The incident happened on January 15, and it could be evidence that Bryant has not learned how to control himself and still has a serious amount of growing up to do.
It has been reported that Dallas quarterback Tony Romo will pair up with Tiger Woods in an upcoming pro-am tournament on the PGA Tour. This announcement comes as the pay per head draft experts are starting to publicly wonder if the Cowboys should think about drafting a quarterback in the 2012 entry draft. Romo’s ability to win big games has been questioned for years and his dedication to the team has been questioned as he continually puts golf ahead of OTAs and other off-season activities. The Cowboys have not made any statements yet on what it intends to do in the draft, but the inability of Dallas to make it into the playoffs again this year makes fans wonder if Romo will be the scapegoat for the entire organization.
A bodog review of the Cowboys’ roster shows that, once again, the defensive secondary is a concern for the team. For the previous two years, the sports experts have been saying that the Cowboys need to either draft cornerbacks or pick some up in free agency. To this point, the Cowboys have done neither. But with new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan now calling the shots on defense, the Cowboys may not have any choice but to start picking up secondary players. Ryan’s scheme calls for the secondary to be active and make plays. The current Dallas secondary has shown repeatedly that it is unable to do that. The hope for Dallas fans is that he Cowboys will draft or pick up players that can execute Ryan’s scheme and get the Cowboys’ defense back on track.
The news was not all bad for the Cowboys’ defense in 2011. Whether you write a soccer blog or a football blog, you had to appreciate the season that Cowboys’ outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware had. The Pro Football Writers Association and the fans definitely noticed as Ware was voted into the Pro Bowl by the fans and he was placed on the All-NFL team by the Writers Association. Ware was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise perplexed Dallas defense. The problem for the Dallas defense was that it tried to use the wrong players for Rob Ryan’s system. The Cowboys will make roster changes to bring in players that Ryan needs. But it is expected that DeMarcus Ware will stay right where he is.
Dallas Cowboys Update: The Changes Begin
January 10, 2012 by Guest Contributor · 1 Comment
The sports betting world is way too familiar with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to assume that the Cowboys will be the same team in 2012 that it was in 2011. There will be changes in Dallas, and everyone has learned to wait for the actual moves to take place because what Jerry Jones says and what he does are always two different things. One move that has already been made in Dallas is the release of defensive secondary coach Dave Campo. The Dallas secondary has not played up to expectations in the last few years, and Campo was the one that took the fall for it after the season ended.
The price per head sports experts are starting to notice that wide receiver Miles Austin has not been the same since he signed his big contract three years ago. One problem that is out of Austin’s control is the rash of injuries he has suffered, especially in the 2011 season. The lingering effects from injuries could be what has slowed Austin up this year, but his production in the two previous years was lacking as well. Some observers are calling on Dez Bryant to push the issue on who should be the number one receiver to help motivate Austin. But, so far, neither receiver has commented on what could be the genesis of another locker room battle for the Dallas Cowboys.
On the other end of the passing spectrum is quarterback Tony Romo. The fans are starting to wonder if maybe it is time to think of the future at quarterback. The pay per head sports analysts are projecting that the Cowboys may take a quarterback in the draft, but it would not be until a later round. The Cowboys have so many positions to address in the 2012 draft that quarterback is not high on the priority list. There is also the question as to whether or not second-string quarterback Stephen McGee may be the heir apparent and his time is starting to come. But all of that will be answered as the team moves closer to the 2012 training camp.
Amongst all of the disappointment and problems that the Dallas Cowboys have experienced lately, a bodog review of the Pro Bowl balloting shows a small glimmer of respect for the Dallas defense. Cowboys pass rusher DeMarcus Ware has been voted into his sixth Pro Bowl and will compete in the week between the championship games and the Super Bowl. Ware was definitely a consistent force on the Dallas defense and says he does plan on being there for the Pro Bowl festivities.
For all of the questions that still surround his play and all of the speculation about his job security next season, quarterback Tony Romo did finish the season as the fourth rated passer in the NFL. It would be a bet online scam to completely ignore the strides forward that Romo made in his development from last season to this season. Romo threw for 4,184 passing yards this year, but it was his 31 touchdowns compared to only 10 interceptions that should impress people. Romo was efficient at times, but he was not always able to get points when the Cowboys needed them. But the work that Romo has done in the 2011 season should be enough to warrant Romo keeping his job and getting the chance to be the starter again in 2012.
Dallas Sports Fan – Cowboys Will Be The Focus Of This Week’s Action

Dallas Sports Fan – Cowboys Will Be The Focus Of This Week’s Action
If you’re an NFL fan that follows the Cowboys, your heart will be in your throat for most of Sunday as Dallas heads on the road to face the New York Giants in a do-or-die situation. Meanwhile, the defending NCA champion Mavericks are trying to shake off the rust of the offseason, the Stars are still near the top of their division and are the Rangers in the hunt for Prince Fielder?
The Cowboys have now lost three of four after a 20-7 loss at home to Philadelphia, and some Wagerweb reviews may not how flat Dallas was at the beginning of the game, although a hand injury suffered by Tony Romo didn’t help matters. Romo practiced with the injury this week and there is a good chance he’ll play when the Cowboys head north to face the Giants with the NFC East on the line, and the winner punches their ticket to the postseason. After the season they’ve had, missing out on the playoffs would be disastrous for Dallas.
The Mavericks complained that they weren’t getting enough credit from the media (and probably players that use price per head bookmaking services) for their championship last season, but they’re going to have to wake up to the season soon as they were blown out by Miami and Denver, both at home, to begin their title defense. The loss of Tyson Chandler is still taking some getting used to as the Mavericks have allowed an average of 110.0 points in their first two games, and they have a busy week: from Thursday to Thursday, the Mavericks play six games.
The Stars are second in the Pacific after a week that saw Dallas defeat Nashville at home, and then lose to St. Louis on the road before they host Columbus, Boston and Detroit this week. They also made a roster move this week as the Stars released Andrew Raycroft to make room for Kari Lehtonen, who returns to the lineup after injury. Goaltending is going to play a major role in how players that use a price per head service view the Stars as they don’t have much offense, and Richard Bachman has played extremely well in Lehtonen’s absence. Now, he’ll go back to the No.2 role.
The Rangers are now negotiating the contract for Japanese superstar Yu Darvish, but they’re still in the running for Prince Fielder, who is looking for a contract similar to Albert Pujols, who signed with the Rangers’ rivals from Anaheim. Fielder would be a massive addition to the Rangers’ lineup and he would put up monster numbers in Texas, one of the known “hitter’s parks” in the major leagues. It would also be a boost to the Rangers’ odds at online betting sites.
Dallas Cowboys Update: Now it all Comes Down to This
December 30, 2011 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
Quarterback Tony Romo and running back Felix Jones were taken out the Cowboys’ week 16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles due to injury. What surprised the online betting world is that neither key player was put back in the Eagles’ game and the Cowboys wound up losing 20-7. Now the Cowboys have put all of their eggs in the week 17 basket when they square off against the New York Giants for the NFC East title. The price per head sports experts have the New York Giants as three point favorites, but many Cowboys’ players believe that Dallas can pull out this important game and take the divisional title. If Dallas loses this game, it could miss out on the playoffs completely.
The good news for Cowboys’ fans is that Tony Romo’s hand injury is not major. The x-rays on the injury came back negative and Romo has assured fans that he will be able to go on Sunday. The potential for Romo to play is why the bookie software did not push the odds too heavily in the favor of the Giants. Running back Felix Jones is expected to play as well, but head coach Jason Garrett may have to platoon Jones and backup running back Sammy Morris throughout the game. The Giants’ punishing defensive line may take its toll on the Dallas running backs as the game wears on.
The Cowboys will enter the game against the Giants with a significant injury on the offensive line. Left guard Montrae Holland suffered a torn bicep in the game against the Eagles and will miss at least the week 17 game against the Giants, if not more. It is feared that Holland would be unavailable for the playoffs if the Cowboys should earn a spot. That presents a significant problem for Romo and the Cowboys’ offense as Holland plays on the left side and protects Romo’s blind spot.
A bodog review of the Cowboys’ left offensive line position shows that this is the second season-ending injury Dallas has suffered at that position. Earlier in the season, Montrae Holland was cut and the starting job was given to rookie Bill Nagy. But Nagy suffered a season-ending injury early in the year and Holland was brought back. Now the Cowboys have to choose between veteran guard Derrick Dockery and rookie center Kevin Kowalski. Despite Dockery’s experience, the Cowboys are expected to put Kowalski on the offensive line against the Giants.
In some positive NFL news for the Dallas Cowboys, tight end Jason Witten raised his career total receiving yards to 7,840 in the Eagles’ game which put him into third place on the all-time Cowboys’ receiving list. Witten trails Tony Hill with 7,988 yards and Michael Irvin with 11,904 yards on the all-time list. As for total career receptions, Witten is second to Irvin but only trails Irvin by 61 catches, which Witten should have towards the end of the 2012 season.
Dallas Sports Fan – ‘Boys Face Huge Visit From Eagles, Rangers Land Negotiation Rights For Darvish
December 22, 2011 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
NFL fans in Dallas will be on pins and needles on Saturday night as the Cowboys welcome Philadelphia to town for a big NFC East showdown, while Texas showed they were a major player in baseball’s free-agent market. On the court, the Mavericks are preparing for their season opener on Christmas Day, while the Stars continue to shine on the ice.
Tony Romo showed why many think he is an elite NFL quarterback with a brilliant performance in a 31-15 win in Tampa Bay, but some sportsbook reviews would say that the Cowboys took their foot off the gas in the second half. Dallas was up 28-0 by halftime, but they can’t afford a drop in intensity, especially with a streaking Philadelphia team visiting on Christmas Eve. The Eagles trail the Cowboys by two games in the East, but they also trounced Dallas 34-7 in Philadelphia in Week 8, so they would win the tiebreaker if the two had the same record at the end of the regular season, and the New York Giants are still in the mix as well.
The Rangers watched their rivals, the Los Angeles Angels, snag former ace C.J. Wilson, along with slugger Albert Pujols, and they probably took a tumble in the odds with price per head companies that help set lines. But Texas swung back as they posted a $51.7 million bid for Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish, who some say is stepping into the majors as a top-of-the-rotation starter right now. At 25, Darvish has a huge arsenal of pitches he can go to at any time, and the Rangers now have 30 days to sign him to a contract.
The Mavericks lost both preseason meetings with Oklahoma City, falling 106-92 at home and then 87-83 on the road in this abbreviated preseason, but Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd didn’t play in the first game and then had minimal minutes in the second as the Mavericks have their eye on the prize. Their title defense begins Sunday at home against Miami in a rematch of the Finals, and it’ll be interesting to see how the Mavericks are thought of by betting players and bookies that use price per head software. They should be favored, but the Heat are a huge public team.
The Stars are overshadowed in the city, but they’re chugging along in first place in the Pacific Division after wrapping a five-game road trip with a win over the New York Islanders and a loss in New Jersey, followed by a home victory over Anaheim. Four of the Stars’ next five games are at home starting with Philadelphia on Wednesday, and could have an effect on their sport betting odds down the line.
Dallas Cowboys Update: Sam Hurd’s Arrest Shocks Cowboys’ Locker Room
December 21, 2011 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
From week to week, some football fans wonder how much drugs play a part in the play against NFL betting lines. Are the players high when they are the field? That question became a little louder when Chicago Bears’ receiver Sam Hurd was arrested on charges of cocaine possession and distribution just before the Bears’ week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks. It isn’t the possession part that concerns fans in Dallas; it is the distribution charge that has Cowboys’ fans concerned.
There are now rumors swirling around that there could be ties to some of the Cowboys’ players in Hurd’s drug ring. Before becoming a part of the Chicago Bears, Sam Hurd was a Dallas Cowboy for many years. The price per head sports experts are not wondering if some of Hurd’s network is still in the Dallas locker room. Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones expressed shock at the arrest of Hurd, but went on to say that Dallas had no idea about Hurd’s drug activity. Head coach Jason Garrett has said that he has seen no indication of any problems in the Cowboys’ locker room and does not anticipate any fallout from the arrest to affect the Cowboys.
Away from the courtroom, the bookie software has the Dallas Cowboys in an unfamiliar place. For the first time in a very long time, the Dallas Cowboys are in first place in the NFC East in mid-December. At 8-6, the Cowboys hold a one-game lead over the New York Giants and a two-game lead over the Philadelphia Eagles. If the Cowboys win its last two games, then it wins the NFC East title. But standing in the way of the Cowboys’ celebration is a week 16 game against the surging Philadelphia Eagles. As if the NFL schedule was not cruel enough, the Cowboys finish the season in New York to play a pivotal game against the New York Giants.
The official Dallas injury list does not include any notable names and that is because outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware was able to make it back on the field for the week 15 game against Tampa Bay. Ware’s impact was felt immediately as he recorded a sack for the Cowboys and help the team to earn a 31-15 win over the Buccaneers. A 5 dime review of the Tampa Bay game showed an efficient quarterback Tony Romo who threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns in the game. The part of Romo’s play that has the Cowboys glowing is that Romo threw no interceptions.
The Cowboys look healthy and ready to play for the NFC East title and push its way into the playoffs. It is not over yet as none of the NFC East teams will probably qualify for any of the NFC wild card spots. The only way that the Cowboys, Giants and Eagles are making the playoffs is as the NFC East champions. Since there can be only one division champion, that will make these last two weeks of the season very interesting.
Dallas Cowboys Update – The House of Cards is Crumbling Again
December 6, 2011 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
The online betting community was witness again to the cracks in the armor that the Dallas Cowboys have built up around themselves. The Cowboys own first place in the NFC East with a 7-5 record, but that record could have been 8-4 had head coach Jason Garrett not made a colossal mistake in the waning minutes of the week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. As Dallas kicker Dan Bailey lined up what was going to be the winning field goal, Dallas head coach Jason Garrett iced his own kicker by calling a last-second timeout. It is the kind of mental mistake that the price per head sports experts have been seeing all season long, and it cost the Cowboys a victory.
When he was asked about the timeout after the game was over, Bailey said that the timeout is not the reason that he missed his second shot at the game-winning field goal. But the body language and confusion in the Dallas players on the field at the time of the call tells a different story. A dejected Dallas team attempted to cover for its coach, but when the timeout was called it was obvious that everyone on the sideline, including Garrett, was a little bit confused.
Quarterback Tony Romo can identify with mistakes that tend to define a tenure in Dallas. The price per head sports website still run the video of Romo fumbling a snap for the game-tying extra point in Romo’s first season as the Dallas starter. The image of Romo seated on the field with both hands clasping his facemask became an image that Romo has still yet to shake. It is moments like the muffed extra point that have gone on to create the doubt in Romo’s abilities that has followed him ever since. Even though all of the players and owner Jerry Jones dismiss the timeout incident as insignificant, it will be used as one of those events that defines Garrett’s time in Dallas.
As for Garrett, he stands behind his decision to call the timeout and has not backed off from the criticism at all. He says that he would make the call again in a similar situation and has no regrets about the way the game turned out. Garrett is also quick to point out that a bodog review of the overtime shows that it was poor tackling by the Dallas defense that allowed Arizona to score the winning touchdown. But Garrett also points to the loss as a team loss and knows that his team will have to do better in week 14.
Sometimes the NFL schedule has a knack for lining up the right game at just the right time. In week 14, the 7-5 Cowboys will face the 6-6 New York Giants for a battle of supremacy in the NFC East. If Dallas can win this game, it would put a gap between the two teams that may not be closed. If the Giants win, then the two teams will probably battle for the NFC East division title right down to week 17. Garrett says his team will be ready when the ball kicks off in Dallas for this critical divisional matchup.
Dallas Sports Fan – Cowboys Streaking, Stars Preparing For Road Trip…And the NBA Is Back!
December 1, 2011 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
It’s no BetOnline scam to see NBA odds in your sportsbook, and they’re getting more action as news filtered down that the NBA lockout is over, which means the Mavericks are ready to defend their title. In other news, the Cowboys are on a roll as they head to the desert, and the Stars are going on a road trip.
The Cowboys have now won four in a row after a 20-19 win on Thanksgiving at home over Miami, thanks to a last-second field goal by Dan Bailey. A sportsbook review of Dallas’ early-season troubles would have told you that Tony Romo makes too many mistakes, but he has made better decisions since the running game has taken the pressure off his back. The Cowboys are now in first place in the NFC East as they head into Arizona to face a team that, for whatever reason, has given Dallas fits in the past, especially on the road as the Cowboys have dropped their last two trips to the desert.
The Stars were one of the teams most likely to move up the ranks in the eyes of price per head bookie companies that set NHL lines after their quick start, but they’ve leveled off thanks to a slew of injuries. They dropped two in a row, a shootout loss at home against Toronto followed by a 3-0 shutout in Phoenix, but Dallas recovered to win 3-1 in Colorado on Monday. On Thursday, they’ll start the week with a home game against Ottawa and on Saturday night, the New York Islanders come to town before the Stars embark on a five-game road trip that starts in San Jose. A solid performance this week at home is needed before the Stars head out on the road, and those who use pay head companies will have their eye on Dallas.
The world champion Mavericks are gearing up to defend their title, one which they feel isn’t getting the respect it deserves after Dallas rolled through the playoffs, finishing with a six-game win over the Miami Heat. Dirk Nowitzki was amazing in the postseason, taking his game to a level many thought he could never do, but the Mavericks may need his scoring even more for this upcoming season as Tyson Chandler doesn’t think he’ll be back with the team due to financial issues. Chandler was the heart of Dallas’ much-improved defense, which was a massive factor in their championship along with Nowitzki’s scoring, and the Mavericks would do well to find a way to keep him around or else, their odds will drop at sports betting sites.
Dallas Cowboys Update: Dallas is Moving On Up
November 29, 2011 by Guest Contributor · Leave a Comment
Some of the online betting experts are taking credit for seeing the rise of the Dallas Cowboys coming, while other price per head betting enthusiasts are still shocked at the turn of events. With the New York Giants getting absolutely bludgeoned on Monday Night Football by the New Orleans Saints, the Dallas Cowboys have taken over first place in the NFC East by one complete game. At 7-4, the Cowboys are pulling away from the rest of a division that is struggling to win games. The only team winning consistently at this point besides the Cowboys is the Washington Redskins, and no one expects that to last.
While some people want to give credit to quarterback Tony Romo for the winning streak, others are looking towards rookie kicker Dan Bailey and the fact that his kicks have been responsible for winning two of the last four games. One of the more important kicks Bailey has made was the kick for the overtime win over the Washington Redskins two weeks ago. The Cowboys are pleased that Bailey is able to perform under pressure and have expressed no problems with turning to the rookie with the game on the line. With the pieces all working together, all the Cowboys have to do now is get players back from injury
The biggest pay per head injury concern at this point is wide receiver Miles Austin. Second-year receiver Dez Bryant has done an excellent job at spreading out the field in Austin’s absence, but the Cowboys are anxiously awaiting the return of its number one receiver. With the Cowboys completely intact, the team will look to put a cap on the NFC East and prepare for a playoff push.
A bodog review of the career of Tony Romo shows that the Dallas quarterback has found nothing but success in the month of December. Last season was not a December to remember, but in previous years Romo has shined in the last calendar month of the year. With the Cowboys on a roll and starting to get healthy, Romo is hoping that he can continue his good luck in December and help close out the NFC East title by the end of the month. The Cowboys lost its first meeting with the Giants, but Dallas gets another shot at New York in December. A split with the Giants a couple of wins in December would lock up the NFC East title for the Cowboys. It is something Jerry Jones has wanted for a while now.
When you look at the NFL schedule for the next few weeks, it looks like the Cowboys have a good chance at winning out for an incredible 12-4 record. But will all of that momentum and strong play be enough to beat the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers when the playoffs roll around? The Cowboys played the 49ers earlier in the season in a game that saw Tony Romo come back from an injury to throw for 349 yards and get the win. Up until Thanksgiving Day, that loss to Dallas was the only loss the 49ers had suffered all season.
But the Cowboys have not had a chance to line up against the Green Bay Packers yet, and that has a lot of people talking about the possibilities. The one weakness the Packers have is stopping a running game. When Felix Jones is completely healthy, Dallas will have Jones and DeMarco Murray in the backfield. Will it be enough to beat the Packers in the playoffs? Only time will tell.
