On Sunday, ESPN’s Todd Archer reported that the Cowboys are expected to hire Junior Adams as their next wide receivers coach. The Cowboys are expected to sign Oregon co-offensive coordinator/WRs coach Junior Adams as their new WRs coach, according to a source. Second college coach to join staff with K-State’s Conor Riley coming on board as OL coach. — Todd Archer (@toddarcher) February 9, 2025 Adams joined Oregon’s staff in 2022 as co-offensive coordinator and their wide receivers coach to help lead one of college football’s most prolific offenses of the past two seasons. Before joining the Ducks, Adams worked at the Washington, where he helped recruit and develop Jalen McMillan and Rome Odunze. The Cowboys have pulled their second coach from the college ranks for the offensive side of the football, potentially looking to expand their offense into more modern looks under Brian Schottenheimer. Combining offensive line coach Conor Riley from Kansas State and Adams should help accomplish that. Dallas has faced challenges in developing wide receivers beyond CeeDee Lamb over the last few seasons. Jalen Tolbert was expected to be a high-upside player from South Alabama, but has yet to truly break out. Jalen Brooks has made the 53-man roster for the past two seasons despite being a seventh-round pick, but he has not seen a snap count suitable for a third wide receiver. With Brandin Cooks on an expiring contract, maybe the Cowboys will dip their toe into the free agency waters to help fill the gap. Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is looking to be traded this offseason, but if he can’t find a dance partner, the Rams may cut Kupp outright. It’s worth noting that Adams spent time at Eastern Washington and helped recruit Kupp and grow Kupp’s game to national recognition, winning the Jerry Rice award for best freshman wide receiver at the FCS level. Either way, Adams has an extensive résumé of working with some of the best wide receivers from the college game who have succeeded in the NFL. Things are looking up for him to do the same in Dallas and continue strengthening the offensive side of the ball under Schottenheimer in year one.

Today is officially Super Bowl Sunday and the Dallas Cowboys are obviously not a part of it. If they fail to reach this point a year from now they will officially see their drought, no air quotes required, reach 30 years which is remarkable given that when they won Super Bowl XXX it was their fifth title in franchise history and eighth appearance in the big game. There is a lot of work to be done, putting it mildly, if Dallas wants to be playing next February, and the hope is that new head coach Brian Schottenheimer is the right man for the job. Things will obviously start with getting the offense back on track and likely include establishing a legitimate run game, but ensuring that the defense remains respectable will also be of critical importance. Matt Eberflus is the new defensive coordinator, and while he has been with the team before, he never had the chance to be on staff while Micah Parsons has been on the team. It stands to reason that Flus is excited to coach Parsons, but if recent reports are to be believed he may never get the chance. The Cowboys have apparently had ‘some internal discussions’ about trading Micah Parsons As it is Super Bowl Sunday, it is the biggest moment in which NFL insiders can drop nuggets of information to percolate as the offseason begins across the entire league on Monday morning. This particular day saw NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and Co. discuss the situation in the NFL involving high-profile pass rushers and how this is going to be an offseason where several of them could get paid. Micah Parsons was first eligible for a contract extension last year and the Cowboys did not get anything done with him. Getting in early on these things is not really their game these days. You do not need a reminder at how difficult last offseason was for Dallas with regards to long-term extensions as they went all the way up to the eleventh hour with both CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott. At the moment, Parsons is set to enter the final year of his rookie contract with the team, his fifth-year option year. An extension seems logical for him given that he has been an absolute superstar from just about Day 1. According to Rapoport though, the Cowboys have had some internal conversations about trading him. Normally open with his opinions, the Cowboys’ 25-year-old superstar hasn’t said much of anything about the team’s promotion of Brian Schottenheimer after a surprise parting of ways with head coach Mike McCarthy — a move Parsons called “devastating.” While there have been no trade talks, sources say there have at least been some internal discussions about whether to pay Parsons or trade him for a king’s ransom. If the Cowboys are willing to listen, they may get it. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones told NFL.com in December that the team will study the wisdom of having so much money invested in so few players, but added: “I can’t imagine there’s a scenario where he’s not wearing a star on his helmet.” Parsons is due about $24 million on the fifth-year option year on his rookie contract in 2025. Suggesting trading Parsons right now is a difficult thing for DFW loyalists to take given last weekend’s trade from the Dallas Mavericks in moving Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. Trading Parsons would be similarly unfathomable. It is difficult to justify it, even hypothetically. Speaking in a vacuum, it isn’t absurd to at least have these conversations among the most trusted people in the team’s brain-trust, though. If you are willing to consider all options then you must consider all options. The NFL Media report touches on the pass rusher situation as a whole across the league, and as noted there are several players due for potential paydays. Cleveland’s Myles Garrett is on record for wanting a trade, Raiders star Maxx Crosby could get a deal and Cincinnati’s Trey Hendrickson is another candidate, especially after just leading the league in sacks. This is why it would have been ideal for the Cowboys to take care of this situation last offseason. In delaying this whole thing they accomplished nothing and handed Parsons all the leverage, especially with the market now working out in his favor to a larger degree than last year. It would behoove the Cowboys to get this done as soon as possible.

Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images Mekhi Becton could help solidify the right side of the Cowboys’ offensive line. And then there were two. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will compete today to find out who will be the Super Bowl champions and who will go home disappointed. However things turn out, this game will officially close the book on the 2024 NFL season. The Chiefs and Eagles will soon join the rest of the league by entering offseason mode. And, like the other 30 teams that make up the NFL, they will have some tough decisions to make about their pending free agents. Those decisions may be made even tougher as everyone else in the league could try to poach their talent to upgrade their own rosters. The Dallas Cowboys are no exception. There are several pending free agents competing in the Super Bowl this weekend who could be of interest to them in free agency. They have a lot of roster “needs” right now and quite a few players from both the Chiefs and Eagles they potentially could target. One is offensive line Mekhi Becton. Becton is a former first-round (11th overall) draft pick by the New York Jets from the 2020 NFL Draft. Unfortunately for him, and the Jets, he struggled remaining healthy his first several years in New York and because of that was considered a draft bust. But, after one year in Philadelphia, it looks as if he’s resurrected his career, squashing that “bust” status. Becton went from being an offensive tackle with the Jets to being kicked inside to right guard in 2024 in what looks like could be his only season with the Eagles. This may not be a permanent move for him depending where he ends up in 2025, but that position flex to play tackle or guard could be highly coveted by other teams in the league. Knowing how much the Cowboys love position flexibility, Becton makes a lot of sense for them and could be someone they target when free agency finally gets underway. They could possibly have holes to fill at both RG and RT depending on what happens to both Zack Martin and Terence Steele. Zack Martin, as we know, is currently a free agent as well and could possibly be mulling retirement. Dallas does have candidates on the roster to replace him in T.J. Bass and Brock Hoffman, however, they are not certainties. By signing Becton, he could step in and possibly solidify the position for years to come. Then there is Terence Steele. His contract didn’t match up with his play in 2024 and he could possibly be a salary-cap casualty this offseason because of it. Becton’s OT/G position flex could once again come in handy here as well. He was drafted 11th overall in 2020 because of his talent as an offensive tackle during his time at Louisville. What the Cowboys could find most appealing about Becton outside of his position flex is the fact that he could be an affordable free agent signing. Pro Football Focus projects his next contract to be a three-year deal averaging $9 million a year with $17 million guaranteed, totaling out to $27 million. So, while you’re watching the Super Bowl this weekend you may want to start keeping a closer eye on Becton and how you think he would fit in with the Cowboys. He would make sense to target via free agency to help solidify the right side of their offensive line at either RG or RT.

Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Your Sunday Morning Cowboys news. Does the Cowboys defense need new life in the secondary? – Mark Heaney, Inside the Star The Cowboys secondary needs some fresh bodies. The Cowboys defense is getting a fresh staff with coaching, as Matt Eberflus takes Mike Zimmer’s spot, but the unit may need new faces too. The team’s secondary is aging and might need a full reset in 2025. It was a struggle for the Dallas defensive back corps for the entirety of the 2024 campaign. With Al Harris’ departure for Chicago, we could see the Cowboys move off of some current players in favor of younger, Eberflus scheme-fitting options. Keep in mind, the Cowboys also want to keep a tight budget There are a few veterans that would actually save Dallas money if they were cut, and a few more that they could let walk in free agency. Change isn’t always a bad thing, especially when a group struggles as much as the Dallas secondary did in 2025. So, let’s look at a few ways that the Cowboys defense could inject youth into its coverage unit this offseason. Stale Safeties: Upgrading the Last Line It feels like Malik Hooker and Donovan Wilson have been the Cowboys’ two starting safeties forever. Since Hooker joined the team in free agency in 2021, the two have played nearly 60 games together. Now, they will be 29 and 30 years old at the start of the 2025 season. In the case of Wilson, the older of the pair, the unfortunate reality is he may have played his final game as a Dallas Cowboy. Wilson isn’t getting any younger, and it showed up in his performance in 2024. He struggled badly in coverage and couldn’t keep up with athletic tight ends, and his success was mostly confined to run support and blitzing. He scored 4.5 sacks and 82 tackles, though the latter number has decreased for him in each of the last three seasons. Additionally, Zimmer’s scheme allowed Wilson to blitz more, while only one Bear had more than one sack in Eberflus’ defense last year. Cutting Wilson after June 1st would save Dallas around $7M, and that money may be better off in the hands of somebody younger. In Hooker’s case, he is younger and did have a strong 2024 performance, totaling 82 tackles, a career-high five passes defended, and two interceptions. Still, cutting him after June 1st would give the Cowboys nearly $6M in cap relief, and that may be considered with him nearing 30. Cowboys’ Jerry Jones Explains Thought Process Behind Brian Schottenheimer Hire as HC – Jack Murray, Bleacher Report For the Cowboys, football is a family business. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s father, Marty, played a part in being named the coach of the Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones feels quite confident about his choice to hire Brian Schottenheimer as the team’s next head coach. Jones spoke with Dianna Russini of The Athletic at the NFL Honors and explained that Schottenheimer’s experience and family lineage factored heavily into the decision. “I looked at 25 years of being on many staffs in the NFL,” Jones said. “I looked at sitting around that dinner table with his daddy, Marty Schottenheimer, and I know what osmosis does. It doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Jones also noted the “ball of fire” he believes that Schottenheimer will have as a new coach, along with his experience and buy-in from the Cowboys players, made the hire an easy choice. “What an opportunity to get a man, a coach, that’s coming out of the shoot for the first time and the ball of fire that comes with that, and yet at the same time has his experience,” Jones said. “Plus, his greatest rooting section is our players, people like Dak Prescott. So, when you add all of that up, this was risky because it’s a first-time head coach, but we got here by taking risks.” Cowboys Could Sign Star LB in Free Agency Poach of Rival Per Insider – Timm Hamm, Athlon Sports One way to weaken your rival is to lure their free agents away. As two division rivals – Philadelphia and Washington – faced each other in the NFC Championship game this year and the Eagles prepare to play in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Dallas has some catching up to do just to compete in the NFC East. Jones and the Cowboys were conspicuously quiet in free agency, signing just one player—linebacker Eric Kendricks—to a one-year deal. The results of Dallas’ lack of moves in the offseason were clear: The Cowboys struggled to a 7-10 record and fell out of relevance in the NFL standings. It’s unlikely Dallas will repeat those mistakes, but it should be diligent in making moves to contend once again in the East and the league. One area the team needs to focus on is widely considered to be on defense at linebacker. And Pro Football Focus thinks it knows who the Cowboys should target – and he’s already familiar with the NFC East. “With Eric Kendricks potentially departing in free agency, Wagner stands out as another strong veteran leader that the Cowboys can bring in to replace him this offseason,” PFF wrote. “Wagner is reaching the end of his NFL career and likely hopes to join a roster that will compete in 2025. Ideally, the Cowboys can be aggressive enough in free agency, which includes adding him to the lineup, that they can deliver on that potential. “DeMarvion Overshown looked like a great long-term option for Dallas this past season, but another significant injury puts his 2025 at risk and creates a need for a one-year linebacker to come in and hold things down until he can get healthy.” Emmitt Smith warns Ashton Jeanty of scary reality if drafted by Cowboys -Jerry Trotta, The Landry Hat Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith had some interesting thoughts on Ashton Jeanty. If you thought the

Here is a fun game sheet to play with throughout the Super Bowl. The Dallas Cowboys are not in the Super Bowl. Again. It’s a sad time of year for us loyal faithfuls as we sit around with our friends and pretend to have a rooting interest in the big game. With the Philadelphia Eagles playing in it, many of us do have a rooting interest as nothing would pain us more than seeing those fellas in green win their second Super Bowl. Super ick. Of course, the alternative is rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs, a team many people are sick of. Similar to the New England Patriots, the Chiefs are gaining notoriety as the team nobody wants to see win again unless you are specifically a Chiefs fan. Another win for them would make three in a row and give them four total, one shy of Cowboys five Super Bowl wins. As you can see, picking a team to root for is quite the conundrum. While rooting for a particular team might be unpleasant, there is still a way to have an enjoyable Super Bowl experience on Sunday, and this is by playing this year’s Super Bowl Challenge game sheet. If you’re a veteran at BTB, you’ve seen this game sheet before as we’ve published it each year over the last 10 years. This game sheet was created to enhance our game-watching experience by expanding the choices we have to root for. Yes, you can still pick a winner, but what about picking which player has the longest receiving play? Who will score the first rushing touchdown? Or will there be a touchdown of 50 yards or more? There are many game questions to keep you and your guests interested. And if you’re more interested in non-football stuff, there’s a little something for you too. You can guess how long it will take for Jon Batiste to sing the National Anthem, which commercial will air first, or which song Kendrick Lamar will sing first during the halftime show. Each question is weighted differently to emphasize the football stuff more. People can make a contest out of it for their own party and put together a prize pool for the winners. Whatever floats your boat. Once you play this game, it will become a mainstay of your Super Bowl party. Enjoy… and go Chiefs!

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images It has been a big week for the NFC East. Eagles RB Saquon Barkley named 2024 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year – Kevin Patra, NFL.com Barkley having one of the best seasons ever by a running back earned him the honor. Saquon Barkley’s gallop to 2,000 earned the Philadelphia Eagles running back the 2024 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year award on Thursday at NFL Honors at Saenger Theatre. As he became accustomed to in his first year with the Eagles, Barkley finished the voting with plenty of distance between him and others, garnering 35 first-place votes and 406 points. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (183 points) placed second, followed by Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase (171), Ravens running back Derrick Henry (92) and Bengals QB Joe Burrow (78). Barkley generated 2,005 rushing yards, becoming the ninth player in NFL history with 2,000-plus rushing yards in a season. He sat out in Week 18 despite being just 101 yards shy of breaking the single-season record held by Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson (2,105 in 1984). Barkley led all running backs in yards, carries (345) and yards per game (125.3). If it weren’t for an odd propensity for getting tackled inside the 1-yard-line, he’d have generated more than 13 touchdowns this season (eighth most), as well. The 27-year-old generated +549 rushing yards over expected this season, per Next Gen Stats, 154 more than any running back in a season from 2018 (when the statistic was first tracked) to 2023, besting his own record from 2018 (+395). In 16 regular season games, Barkley was held under 100 yards rushing just five times. He also had five games of 150-plus rushing yards to balance the scales. The only time he went under the 50-yard mark on the season was a 47-yard output in Week 6 against Cleveland. Adding 278 receiving yards, Barkley finished with 2,283 scrimmage yards, the most in the NFL (Derrick Henry was second with 2,114). The running back accounted for 34.8% of the Eagles’ scrimmage yards in 2024, the highest rate of any team and the only player above 30 percent. Jayden Daniels voted PFWA 2024 Rookie of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year – PFWA, Commanders.com It’s the second time in less than a decade an NFC East QB has brought home the award. Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels, who broke the NFL rookie quarterback single season rushing record in leading the Commanders to the playoffs for the first time since 2020, is the 2024 Rookie of the Year and the Offensive Rookie of the Year, chosen in voting conducted by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA). Los Angeles Rams linebacker Jared Verse, who led NFL rookies in quarterback hits, pressures and hurries, is the 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year. Daniels, the second overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU, started all 17 games for the Commanders and completed 331 of 480 passes (69 percent; sixth in the NFL) for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns, nine interceptions and a passer rating of 100.1 (seventh in the NFL). He also had 148 rush attempts for 891 yards (second-most among NFL quarterbacks) and six touchdowns. He is the first player in NFL history to record over 1,000 passing yards and over 250 rushing yards in his first five career games. Daniels also is the first rookie and fifth player in NFL history to record a completion percentage of 80 percent or higher in four games in a season, and the sixth rookie QB to throw five touchdowns in a game. His 31 touchdowns (25 passing, six rushing) and his 891 rushing yards are both second among all NFL rookies this season. Daniels’ 3,568 passing yards is second among NFL rookies, and he also rushed for 55 first downs. He was the NFL Offensive Player of the Week in Week 3 and the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Month for September. Daniels is the second player in Washington history to be selected as the PFWA’s Rookie of the Year, as running back Mike Thomas captured the 1975 award. Daniels is also the second Washington player to be the PFWA’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, joining quarterback Robert Griffin III, who won the award in 2012. Eli Manning misses Pro Football Hall of Fame on first ballot – Michael Eisen, Giants.com Manning’s career record of 117-117 may have prevented him from making the cut in 2025. NEW ORLEANS – Eli Manning must wait at least a year to join the immortals in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The most prolific quarterback in Giants history is not in the Hall’s Class of 2025, which was announced Thursday night during the NFL Honors telecast from the Saenger Theater here, just two miles from the Garden District house in which he grew up with his parents and two older brothers. Manning led the Giants to victories against the New England Patriots in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI and was the most valuable player in both games. Manning holds 20 franchise records, including almost every significant passing mark. This was the first year of Hall of Fame eligibility for Manning, who retired following the 2019 season after spending his entire 16-year career with the Giants. He was the only quarterback among the 15 modern era finalists. The 50-person selection committee elected the following four players for the Class of 2025: wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, defensive end Jared Allen, cornerback Eric Allen, and tight end Antonio Gates. Manning will be eligible again next year, when former players on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time will include quarterbacks Drew Brees (who is second all-time in career completions, passing yards and touchdowns) and Philip Rivers (for whom Manning was traded in the 2004 NFL Draft), wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, running back Frank Gore, tight end Jason Witten and Maurkice Pouncey, a nine-time Pro Bowl center.

Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The Cowboys would be wise to consider a few hypothetical trades. As the Super Bowl approaches, the NFL world keeps turning. Cleveland Browns star defensive end and reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Myles Garrett, requested a trade from Cleveland after spending his first eight seasons with the Browns. In other news, the Los Angeles Rams have informed Cooper Kupp that he will be shopped to teams and made available for trade. These are big stories; any team would be happy to have this caliber of player, including the Dallas Cowboys. However, as we have learned, the Cowboys aren’t big spenders on the trade market, and these stories regarding the Cowboys’ interest in highly-sought-after players are usually as real as Bigfoot. The Cowboys value their draft picks, and trading a high draft pick on Garrett or Kupp is a foreign concept. Still, we’ve seen for the Cowboys to keep up with the rest of the NFL, they will have to be more aggressive with executing trades for veterans. They could pull off a few trades that would give them a more competitive roster and the comfort of keeping their premium draft picks. Mind you, that’s not to say that Dallas should make all of these proposed trades. The Cowboys have shown that they heavily value all of their draft assets. However, here are three trades the Cowboys could make that fit a smart trade budget and help them return to the post season next year. Trade pick 174 for Jadeveon Clowney Again, do not expect to see Dallas in the Myles Garrett Sweepstakes. It’s not going to happen. That said, the Cowboys need help at defensive end. DeMarcus Lawrence went down early with a season-ending injury, and his future with the team is one of the least talked about unknowns of the offseason. Sam Williams would be heavily counted on in 2024, but an ACL injury derailed what might’ve been a breakout season. Jadeveon Clowney fits a few bullet points for the Cowboys: •Veteran with some gas left in the tank •Low price tag ($8.5M base salary in 2025) • A trade partner with a marginal asking price and willing to shed salaries Clowney was relatively healthy last season, playing in 14 games and totaled 8.5 sacks. He won’t be expected to be his old self, but he should provide depth along the defensive line and give the Cowboys flexibility to not feel obliged to reach for a defensive end in the draft, instead taking the best player available in the first two rounds. Trade pick 150, and a conditional 2026 sixth-round draft pick for Travis Etienne The Cowboys running back room needs a shake-up. We learned as much when the Cowboys named Derrick Foster as their new running back coach this week. Rico Dowdle was fine, but you can get a more diverse talent for the position, and Etienne would provide that. This year’s draft class of running backs is loaded, which should appeal to Jacksonville and Dallas. Trent Baalke is no longer in Jacksonville as their general manager; therefore, no one in the building has a vested connection to Etienne and should be available. Etienne fell out of favor with the coaching staff due to injuries last season and ceded opportunities to second-year player Tank Bigsby. Etienne is a good receiver and better between the tackles than he gets credit for. Acquiring Etienne affords Dallas a backup plan if they whiff on the top two backs in the class, Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton. Etienne is in the final year of his rookie contract, playing under the fifth-year option that bears a manageable price tag of $6.1M If Dallas can’t get Etienne for a discount, Rachaad White is a similar option that has a similar circumstance in Tampa Bay. He also could be had for lesser compensation, but like Etienne, Dallas would need to pair him up with a running mate in the backfield, preferably a later-round draft pick like Devin Neal or Bhayshul Tuten. Trade the 211th pick for Kenyon Green The Cowboys need depth along the offensive line, especially at the interior. In speaking with the media recently, Zack Martin has stated that he is taking his time deciding on his future in the NFL, and it’s anyone’s guess if that means retiring, re-signing with the Cowboys, or playing somewhere else. In his stead, Dallas played Brock Hoffman at right guard, who did an admirable job. Yet, the Cowboys need more depth in that department. Enter Kenyon Green. Since being taken in the first round by the Houston Texans in 2022 with the 15th overall pick, Green has disappointed and struggled to stay healthy. For what was deemed one of the better prospects of his draft class, Green has underwhelmed in Houston. The rumor mill around him is busy and the Texans are expected to move on from Green. He may need a change of scenery, and the cross-state Cowboys will make for a good landing spot to redefine his career. The Cowboys are familiar with Green and brought him in as a top-30 visit before the draft in 2022. Therefore, there’s a connection to the player. The new offensive coordinator, Klayton Adams, has a reputation as a wizard who works with offensive linemen. Green could play either guard or center as a reserve. This proposed trade would give the Texans the latter of Dallas’ two sixth-round draft picks. For the Cowboys, it couldn’t hurt to kick the tires for low risk on a player that they were interested in and is only 23 years old.

Bet you didn’t know that. Anyway, the good news is that there are still ways to enjoy the Super Bowl even though our team won’t be in it. Some people love the commercials. Maybe you’re all-in for that. Others like to play games during the game. My colleague Dan Rogers will have his annual Super Bowl game sheet out later today, so keep an eye out for that. You can also gamble on the game. Our friends over at FanDuel have an amazing array of bets for the game. We’re going to take a quick look at two of them. We asked NFL fans who would cover the spread with the Kansas City Chiefs favored by 1.5 points. A very slim majority (51%) of fans believe the Philadelphia Eagles will cover the spread. If they do cover, Cowboys fans have to hope they lose by a point! Another popular bet is the over/under on total points. 56% of NFL fans believe that the teams will blow past the 48.5 point total. So as you enjoy the Super Bowl in your own way, you can spice things up a bit with a wager (please gamble responsibly). Head over to FanDuel if you’re interested. In the comments below, let us know which team you think will cover the spread, whether you are taking the over or under, and why.
