00:00All right, let's go. Let's go to the next game here. Let's do Cowboys Falcons here.

00:08And boy, you talk about the Atlanta Falcons, not knowing, Vinny, I got no clue here. Two

00:12weeks ago, the Falcons were at home, very similar spread, taking on the Seattle Seahawks,

00:19got absolutely crushed. Then they go on the road, they take on Tampa Bay, they win, they're

00:23back in the spot again, two and a half, three point favorites against the Dallas Cowboys.

00:29Still a 51 and a half. Is this the week they like take that step to where we can really

00:34believe in them? Because it feels like just when we're about to do that, they lay a clunker.

00:39Yeah, I actually do like the Cowboys going in and winning because this is an okay matchup

00:44for the Cowboys because Falcons will take away the run. They don't care. The Cowboys

00:49will just pass most of the time. And I think you'll see Dak Prescott well protected. There's

00:53not much of a pass rush from the Falcons side here. So they don't mind getting past happy

00:58and abandoning the run because they can't run the ball. But the Falcons will try to

01:01stay in the game with the run. And there's some better news here for Dallas with Deron

01:05Bland on the back end. The Falcons tend to abandon the run a little bit too early with

01:10Kirk Cousins. It's not a game you want to do that. You want to stick with it against

01:14the Cowboys because that's where they've struggled most. But what's going to happen here is at

01:19some point, it's going to turn into a pass happy affair on both sides. And the Cowboys

01:24are better equipped to stop the pass than the Falcons. So that's why I like Dallas on

01:28this game. Again, it kind of lines up where their strength is better than the Falcons'

01:33weakness.
