NFL,Monday, October 8 - 8:30 PM EST
vs.
Dallas Cowboys (4-0, 2-0 away) at Buffalo Bills (1-3, 1-1 home)
Current Conditions - Buffalo, NY Partly cloudy 73 °F, Wind from SW at 12 mph
Picks: Dallas Team Score Over 27 @ 1,80 PaddyPower, Game Total Under 45 points @ 1,96 Pinnacle
The high-scoring Cowboys look to go 5-0 for the first time in 24 years when they travel to Buffalo for a nationally televised matchup with the banged-up Bills. After allowing 35 points in their opener to the Giants the Dallas defense has pulled in the reigns allowing 20 to Miami, 10 to Chicago and 7 to St Louis. Against the Bills on Monday night we should see the Cowboy defense which has welcomed back CB Terence Newman & LB Greg Ellis continue their dominant play. Dallas is averaging an NFL-best 37.8 points a game, as opposed to Buffalo’s 10.2 points per game.
While Dallas' OL is big & healthy, scoring at a record pace (Their 151 points are 22 more than the NFL record-holding 1998 Minnesota Vikings had at the same point), Buffalo is thin in the OL, they have scored 14 against Denver, 3 at Pittsburgh and 7 at New England. They finally snapped its five-game regular-season losing streak with last week’s 17-14 win over the defense impaired Jets.
Buffalo's defense has already lost Jim Leonhard, Ashton Youbouty, Paul Posluszny, Coy Wire, Ko Simpson, Jason Webster and Keith Ellison since the start of the season, a defense that lost Takeo Spikes, London Fletcher, Matt Bowen and Nate Clements in free agency in the offseason. They have allowed some truly awful defensive numbers thusfar: 70% completions, 8.1 yards per pass attempts, 4.9 yards per rush attempt. They have faced two ‘elite’ level offenses so far this year. In those games, the Bills allowed 26 points to the Steelers and 38 points to the Patriots. They will be lucky to get 3 on the board against the Cowboys. In short, this defense, that has absolutely been decimated with injuries and attritioncan be expected to struggle mightily against the Cowboys balanced, explosive attack.
Considering the way that Wade Phillips was run out of Buffalo as their head coach a few years back, I wouldn’t expect a whole lot of ‘mercy’ from the Cowboys head coach, with an opportunity to showcase his team on national TV. Dallas has scored at least 34 points in each of their first four games, against defenses as good or better than this one. Julius Jones, Marion Barber, Jason Witten, Patrick Crayton and Terrell Owens give the best young QB in the league, Tony Romo, an ample supply of weapons at his disposal. He has thrown for 11 TD passes and already has three 300- yard games. And, facing a rookie quarterback Trent Edwards, making only his second career start, it wouldn’t shock this bettor if the Cowboys defense gets into the scoring mix as well.
These two haven’t met since 2003 when the Cowboys won 10-6 as four-point favorites in Dallas. The last time they played in Buffalo was 1996 when the Bills scored a 10-7 win as seven-point underdogs. These two have gone under the total in six of their last seven meetings. The Bills have gone under in five of their last seven.
I don’t see Buffalo quarterback Trent Edwards trading scores with Romo here, and I don’t see the Bills defense stepping it up to contain the Dallas attack firing on all cylinders. The only scoring in this one will be from the Cowboys.

das Dal gestern unfähig war zu scoren,hatte ich ja schon verdaut, aber dass die dann 24 sec vor schluss mit TD und anschliessend mit 53-yard field goal!! ein sicher gedachtes "Under" und spiel noch drehen,war echt zuviel 
,beide picks verloren und echt mies von mir
