The most overhyped team in NFL betting probably will be the Dallas Cowboys.



On August 8th, they open up by playing the Hall of Fame Game vs the Cincinnati Bengals. The Cowboys will likely be preferred in NFL preseason probabilities in this game that can be viewed on NBC.

The Cowboys’ famous running back Emmitt Smith will be inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame in August. Their general manager, Jerry Jones, has been lobbying for the Dallas Cowboys to be included in the Hall of Fame game for the 1st time since 1999. The weekend when 1 of their own will be inducted in the Hall of Fame seems like the perfect opportunity. It’s especially poignant given that Emmitt Smith took part in their last Hall of Fame game back in 1999. Smith, the NFL’s all-time leading rusher with 18,355 yards, played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1990-2002 and won a record 164 rushing touchdowns, won 4 NFL rushing titles and gained 1,000 yards in a record 11 consecutive seasons.

This is the 1st Hall of Fame competition for the Cincinnati Bengals since 1988. As well as Smith, the 2010 Hall of Fame Class includes Russ Grimm, Rickey Jackson, Dick LeBeau, Floyd Little, John Randle, and Jerry Rice.

The Dallas Cowboys will be featured five times in NFL preseason wagering in 2010. Given that they play the Hall of Fame game, the Dallas Cowboys get an extra preseason game. They will host the Oakland Raiders 4 days after the Hall of Fame Game. They journey to San Diego and Houston the next two weeks whereas their final preseason competition will be at home vs Miami.

As they are listed at 10-1 in NFL preseason probabilities, the Dallas Cowboys are 1 of the faves to win the Super Bowl Dallas is a reliable fave at -125 to win the NFC East. Tony Romo, who threw for 4,483 yards last year with 26 TDs and only 9 interceptions, leads the Dallas Cowboys in offense. He has some skilled receiving options including tight end Jason Witten. Miles Austin experienced a excellent season a year ago and he looks to get some assist this season as defense will need to contend with newcomer Dez Bryant. The running game is reliable with Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice.

The Dallas Cowboys had a very reliable defense in 2009 that was oftentimes unnoticed. The reason the Dallas Cowboys won 11 games last season was a defense that was 2nd in the league in points allowed. All-Pro linebacker DeMarcus Ware is a force from outside while Terence Newman leads a reliable secondary.

The problem for the Dallas Cowboys this season might be high expectations. Owner Jerry Jones tells his team constantly that this year’s Super Bowl is in Dallas and he wants his team to be there. The Dallas Cowboys aren’t without some problems though. Wade Phillips, who has never earned anything, is their current head coach, and Dallas has a challenging National Football League schedule that includes reigning Super Bowl champion New Orleans and runner-up Indianapolis. Wagering the Dallas Cowboys in the preseason or in the regular season also means laying or receiving fewer points than is warranted since Dallas is the most public team in the NFL.
