00:00let's talk about the battle of texas where two teams that need to win pretty badly early on the
00:05season maybe houston more than dallas but needless to say joe neither team has looked particularly
00:11good this season houston is laying three at home against dallas and you know it's just one of those
00:17things where i i feel like we've entered another season where everyone thinks that the cowboys are
00:22going to be better than they are houston's only laying three today they haven't won a game i know
00:26they're going to win a game eventually they did the same thing last year so uh with the short line
00:32today i i don't know what what the temptation i guess when dallas is an underdog they tend to play
00:38a little bit better and they cover some spreads but i mean joe do we have to do this for
00:41like 10 years
00:42with dallas here where they go into a year they're among the top of the favorites they finish seven
00:47and ten or six and eleven or eight and nine i think the same thing is coming for dallas this
00:52season so
00:52i'll take i'll take houston this week i gotta be honest with you like i i can't remember the last
00:57time that i was in on dallas but this year i was and not because i love dallas so much
01:00as i just
01:01didn't like the rest of this division i thought the eagles were in a precarious situation with a coach
01:06that was kind of on the hot seat potentially especially if things got off to a bad start and so
01:10far i think we could quantify it as a bad start i wasn't confident in the commanders and the offensive
01:15line and you know when you have a new coach come in sometimes you get like the big bump up
01:19here
01:19but once jackson dark got hurt it's the cowboys division to lose i'll be honest with you the
01:24cowboys have a ton of talent on that roster it's whether or not they can play consistently good
01:28football and this game to me reeks of four outcomes you could see a world where the the
01:34cowboys lay an egg you could see a world where the houston texans do the opposite here right and you
01:41could see a high scoring affair a low scoring affair i think the best thing here is to look at
01:44really
01:44what we know so far which is it seems like the dallas offense at least has its pieces together
01:48and is moving pretty well and when nico collins returning this total was actually 47 and a half
01:53and i got bet up to 48 and a half over the weekend i still like the over in this
01:57game as good as the
01:58defense is here in theory for the texans the secondary hasn't been good and they've had some
02:04injuries on this defensive side too i think the the mindset here of like the texans defense can't
02:09be scored on well it's been anything but to open the season so far for them i think the best
02:14bet
02:14for this one is just over and not worry too much about the rest of it because i think when
02:18nico
02:19returning that gives the offense on that other side of the texans a little bit more open than
02:23that's been had in the last couple weeks
02:24you
02:25you
02:25you
