Not that Hamlin is that valuable, but his signing means one less distraction in a 2008 season that should – that’s right, should -- climax with the Cowboys playing for the title in February.
Las Vegas agrees, staking Dallas as the favorite to represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLIII.
If you’re really a wagering degenerate, you can get some action down right now on the Cowboys laying 3 points in the Sept. 4 opener at Cleveland. I so believe in the future I could sell green bananas to a suicide bomber on his way to work, but not even I would touch a game whose kickoff is still 53 days out. Now, alert me if it drops to 2 ½.
