Week 3
NFL Free Pick

The St Louis Rams will host Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in a Game between two 1-1 teams looking to go 2-1. The Cowboys bouNCed back last week with a win over the Titans after losing to San Fran in week 1 while the Rams also got into the win column last week, edging the Bucs after getting blown out at home week 1 against the Vikings. 5 dimes sportsbook has this Game a pick em with a total of 44.5.
There is no Game on the NFL board this week more lopsided than this one in terms of public action. The Cowboys, “Americas Team”, are drawing all the action here as a whopping 87% of the bets taken on this Game have come in on Dallas. There’s a part of this handicapper that wants to take the Rams based on that fact alone.
The Cowboys have been the textbook example of mediocrity for years now and so far, this year looks to be no different. However, mediocre is generally always good enough to beat bad, and bad is what the Rams look to be.
The Cowboys can move the ball offensively and have the 2nd ranked rushing Game thus far in the NFL, going up against one of the worst rushing defenses in the Rams (29th). The Cowboys should also have a huge edge at QB with Romo vs. either Shaun Hill or Austin Davis.
No, we’re not impressed with the Cowboys but they are the lesser of two evils in this spot. Yes, the public is all over Dallas and we hate to be on the same side as the masses, but the public isn’t always wrong. This is a Game the Cowboys should win. They are simply the better team. Dallas pk
