Opening Line: Cowboys -8 , Total 43.5
The Dallas Cowboys will try and start the season at 5-0 for the first time in 24 years when they take on the Bills in Buffalo tonight. Dallas is the only unbeaten team in the NFC and has looked unstoppable in their first four games. "We have a good team right now. We're playing well overall, and certainly have some talented players that have made plays for us," head coach Wade Phillips said. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking the favored Cowboys on the Road.
The Dallas offense has scored 151 points through the first four games. Quarterback Tony Romo has an NFL-high 11 TD passes. "Anytime your quarterback is playing like our quarterback's playing, that's a key factor," Phillips said. "Our defense is solid. ... We've done what we can do, and probably a little better than that." The Cowboys defense is also getting better. They have held their last two opponents to a total of 17 points.
Buffalo comes into the game at 1-3 and will look to rookie quarterback Trent Edwards again on Monday. Edwards made his first start last Sunday and helped Buffalo to their first win of the season, a 17-14 win over the New York Jets. Edwards went 22 of 28 for 234 yards against the Jets "All I know is that he is good," head coach Dick Jauron said. "He's smart, and he was really accurate when he had to be. He did a real nice job."
