Week four is upon us and as hard is is to move on from the week three loss to the Baltimore Ravens, they need to do it now and get back to .500 with a lot of football left to be played this season.
The Cowboys and the Texans are going to be battling for a game that both teams need to win to feel much better about themselves as they head into the middle of the season.
Feels like the Dallas Cowboys have a great chance to get to 3-2 with the next two teams not having a win, but I understand the Texans are better than their 0-3 record.

What this line says is that the home team always gets three extra points, no matter who it is, if you are not a sports betting person, so with that they think the Cowboys should cover this line and probably win the game by a point or two.

brutal.
PJ Locke is on IR, hope is Malik Hooker could return this Sunday for #Cowboys vs Texans.
Defensive Injuries
Let’s start here because this is worth noting. Take a look at all the guys right now that are hurt, and before anyone says anything, this defense has been bad since week 1 opening snap. They are just worse now because of everyone that is hurt.
DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring, multiple weeks), Cobie Durant (hamstring, multiple weeks), PJ Locke (Foot, IR), Malik Hooker (elbow, multiple weeks), Jalen Thompson (hamstring, IR), Jonathan Bullard (calf, multiple weeks), Shavon Revel (knee, multiple weeks) & Marist Liufau (hand, IR).
What it sounds like is that the Cowboys are going to keep the guys from within and try and play a few weeks and get some of these guys back, and the next three games they play teams with only 1 win.
The Texans are 0-3, the Bucs on Thursday night at 0-3, and they won’t have Baker Mayfield when they play, and then the Packers are a mess and their head coach might not even be employed by week six.
Nonetheless, both teams need a win, but with the way the teams in the NFC East look, if the Cowboys are sitting at 2-2, two of the teams are without their starting quarterback, and did you see what the Eagles have looked like all year?
They scored 7 points against the Bears on Monday night, and they have not looked good all year and they play the Rams and Jags in their next two games. It is shaping up for the Cowboys to be sitting pretty even after the start.
I am 2-for-3 on my predictions thus far this year, with the only one being the Giants game that I got wrong.
I think the Cowboys to win this game. Houston has looked like a mess and Nico Collins has missed the last two games, and David Montgomery is not the type of running back that will be leaned on all game.
The Cowboys’ offense will do enough against the Texans defense to force their offense to match them. I still have no issues with the Cowboys on the offensive side of the ball, regardless of what happened at the end of last week.
They are going to score 30 in nearly every single game, they will get out early and force the Texans into some things that they are not good at, but we need to see these coaching issues fixed, like from the opening kickoff of the game.
Dallas will get back in the win column, improving to 2-2 with a win over the struggling Texans, 29-23.
