The Dak Pak is back and betting sites for NFL know it. The bad news is Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott set the bar for themselves way up high in 2016. As a result, there was no way they could match their rookie season. Let alone improve it. The good news is they set the bar so low last season, they couldn’t do worse if they tried. Moreover, you can’t give on a couple of kids after just two seasons. On the contrary, the youth movement continues to march forward in Dallas. Exhibit A: tight end Jason Witten retired in May after 15 years with the Boys. Exhibit B: wide receiver Dez Bryant was released in April following seven seasons in Dallas. It’s a young man’s game. Just ask Tony Romo.

So the Cowboys have a young, up-and-coming QB in Prescott. Also, they have one of the best running backs in league in Elliott. And they have a fearsome offensive line. In other words, they have the passing game and the running game covered. But what about the receiving game? Dallas lacks a big-name wide receiver. Dez Bryant is no Julio Jones. He’s no Antonio Brown either. But he was probably the best the Cowboys had in that position.
Having said that, betting sites for NFL shouldn’t underestimate Dallas on account of that. The Patriots’ best receivers are arguably Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. The former was out for the season last year. And the latter is more fragile than Humpty Dumpty. Nonetheless, the Pats still managed to make the Super Bowl. No single individual really stood out in their receiving corps. But their receiving corps as a whole got the job done. So must Allen Hurns, Cole Beasley, Tavon Austin, Terrance Williams or Michael Gallup in Dallas.
