We have the Cowboys at 9.5 wins.
Oh, yeah, Matt, what do you got about Big D right now?
Can you get it in five minutes?
Everything that’s happened in Dallas the last 67 months and make a succinct way making you feel about the 2024 season.
I mean, I could be succinct here and say that I really, really, really, really wanna go under because I’m not buying a lot of what’s going on in Dallas right now.
Oh, the 2018 backfield of Dalvin Cook and Zeke and with Rico D and Deuce Fawn is still on like that, that’s gonna carry the day.
So I really, really wanna go under here, but I think 9.5 is a little like, I think they can win 10 games and be mildly disappointing.
But yeah, I, I don’t know, I, I can’t, I can’t read this one here to go over under because I don’t feel good about this team.
I feel like they are going to take a step back.
But I also struggled getting them, like, as long as Dak and CD Lamb are healthy, I struggled to get them to, you know, nine or eight wins or something like that.
I just keep looking at the running back.
She’s like, sure.
Sure.
All right.
Yeah, sure.
I, uh Jake Ferguson.
Good player CD lamb.
Love CD.
Lam Brandon Cook is just another year older though.
And then it’s just so it’s just all these in between guys that, that gets me antsy with this team on defense.
Still, Mike Parsons, they still have cool players on the back end.
I know Blank got hurt and everything they have.
Mike Fricking Zimmer, maybe the top five is a little hot on them.
A little spicy.
But I really do think this defense is still going to be really good even losing Quinn because I think Zimmer is that good.
I think the blitz packages are going to be insane with Michael Parsons.
So I’m very excited about the D I’ve come around on the offense.
I end up being over 9.5 wins if you ask me to like them and the Rams kind of switched my brain for me a little bit where I became a little bit more optimistic.
I just trust Dak, I trust CD.
Mike mccarthy did a good job last year of adjusting their offense.
Him and Schoen Heimer, one of the most shocking developments and of the entire season if you asked me that mccarthy and Schott Heimer were innovative offensive play callers.
Yeah, that, yeah.
Now my bingo card so end up as the over for me, which is just, yeah, it’s did not think I’d be there a month ago.
So with Ezekiel Elliott playing running back.
