Cowboys at Broncos Odds, Preview & Betting Tips

Jerry Jones is on his final approach to the next life. At age 83, Jones wants one more Super Bowl championship before he bids us farewell.

Most of all, Jones wants to win a title that is not associated with the DNA of Jimmy Johnson. Jones won three Super Bowls with a team that Johnson built, but as Jimmy’s players left the game, the roster was never replenished with the same caliber of talent. That is because Jones was never the GM that Johnson was.

This year, the Super Bowl is a pipe dream, and the Cowboys will focus on fortifying their defense for next year.

This week, the Cowboys face the Denver Broncos on the road in a difficult assignment and Dallas is a road underdog in Week 8 NFL betting odds.

Denver has plenty of momentum after a stunning comeback win over the New York Giants.

But Dallas confounded its critics with a dominant win over the Washington Commanders.
