Rickenbach NFL *8* Atlanta Falcons -1 @ Dallas @ 1 ET Sunday - Already without Dez Bryant, the Cowboys injury situation is now further magnified by the absence of Tony Romo. The Cowboys truly won a miracle game in week one against the Giants. Then Dallas went on the road (the game Romo got hurt in) and beat an Eagles team that looks totally "out of sorts" early this season. In other words, it's hard to put much value into either victory the Cowboys have so far this season. Now Dallas must contend with a Falcons team whose defense has been flying all over the field early this season. With the coaching change, as expected, the Atlanta D has been looking Seattle-esque early this season. This is going to give Cowboys QB Brandon Weeden and Co. all types of trouble in this one while, at the same time, the Falcons take advantage of Cowboys defense that is off of a huge effort against Philly but was torched by the Giants in Dallas in week one. In fact, the Cowboys have been struggling in home games for quite some time. In a home game with a total between 42.5 and 45 points, Dallas is 12-18 ATS. Overall, Dallas is just 8-10 ATS in home games the last 2+ seasons and they just don't seem to play with the same overall intensity that they have been playing with on the road in recent years. The Falcons look like a completely rejuvenated team and their big comeback against the Giants last week also gives them added confidence this week. Play Atlanta -1 as an *8* selection Sunday.
