Inside The Star: Over/Under predictions for these Cowboys offensive weapons

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

Shan, RJ, & Bobby looked into the latest Vegas Over/Unders for key Dallas Cowboys players, including Dak, CeeDee, Pickens, and more. Should you hammer the Over on Dak’s touchdowns? Can Lamb repeat his monster year? And is Pickens really WR2 material in this offense? They also broke down John Gruden’s old-school critique of the Cowboys and debated whether the offensive line, not just the running backs, is the real key to fixing the run game.

00:00His over-unders in Vegas this year, 38-50 with yards, 26 touchdowns, 11 and a half interceptions.

00:26Yeah, I'm not touching the yards.

00:33Because of injury?

00:35You don't know who the running back is.

00:36Why wouldn't you just slam the over?

00:38Unless you thought he was going to get hurt, like Sean said.

00:39Well, because I think the offensive line is better.

00:42They're going to run the ball.

00:44I think the number that plays is the under on interceptions.

00:51It's very difficult for me.

00:53In his career, he's thrown – I don't even want to count.

00:57Did he throw eight last year in eight games?

01:01Because he had nine the year before total.

01:04Nine.

01:05That was in response to the whole Daxa turnover machine.

01:08He threw 15 the year before that.

01:10I'll just give you his interception totals.

01:12Forget the games.

01:13Four, 13, eight, 11, four, 10, 15, nine, eight.

01:18Yeah, his per season average is nine.

01:19Yeah, I would take the under on that because I think he's going to miss enough time.

01:23Yeah, that helps.

01:25And that's why I'm scared to take the over on the other one.

01:28I think the second best bet is the over on touchdowns.

01:31Yeah.

01:32Because I don't think they have – they don't have anybody to take it away from him.

01:34And his career is thrown for 30, 37, 23, and 36.

01:39Yeah, I mean, all of those feel like they would be health dependent.

01:44But, man, if you're telling me he plays enough to throw potentially 12 interceptions,

01:48I would think the overs would be the better bets on the touchdown on the yards because we don't know who their running back is going to be.

01:55I understand Schottenheimer wants to run the ball.

01:56But you also got to remember this offense in all likelihood is going to be using a lot of the things that they were successful with after the bye in 2023

02:07when Dak and Brian Schottenheimer worked together really closely on the offense.

02:11And during that stretch, when you got out of the San Francisco game, the San Francisco game was when everything went to hell

02:17and they had their come-to-Jesus meeting.

02:19There was 12 games after that.

02:20Dak was 31 touchdowns to five picks.
