Dallas Cowboys Ahead of the Pack in the NFC East

Based on what happened this weekend, the 2-1 Dallas Cowboys are in a very good position to claim the NFC East for Texas, as they moved to the head of the division with two of their rivals languishing at 0-3.

Dallas defeated the St. Louis Rams, 31-7, in a near-perfect performance. Quarterback, Tony Romo, posted a passer rating of 137.2; running back, DeMarco Murray, had the second-best game of his career with 175 yards on the ground, and the defense held Sam Bradford in check while holding the St. Louis offense to just 35 rushing yards; many more performances like that will have the Cowboys easily winning in the East.

Not taking into account their own performances, you also have to have a look at the rest of the NFC East, which, for the most part, looks in turmoil. The Giants and Redskins look a shadow of the teams from past years and the Eagles are still struggling to get to grips with life under new coach, Chip Kelly; especially his up-tempo offense.

The latest NFL betting odds suggest that Dallas are now in a position to take total controlof this disaster of a division. The Cowboys might not be 3-0, but their only loss came by a single point on the road in an out-of-conference game....
