There are so many things where people say "it seems like" or "it feels like" and now, we can actually try to answer these questions.
Here's an example. Blake said, "I feel like the Cowboys are poor front runners." Over the past 20 years, Dallas is middle of the pack covering the spread.
However, if you look at SHORT FAVORITES, (0.5-3 points) Dallas is abysmal. 30th win rate. 32nd against the spread. THESE are the games that stand out. When you feel good about them, maybe a nice -2.5 home game against another good team, and they don't show up.
Since 2006, they actually have a losing record (not losing against the spread) as a short favorite. To me, this is the number that best explains what this era feels like.
I'm impressed with the commitment to tweeting about the Cowboys right now
