As far as Wade Phillips' Job goes, with the bye week you would have to expect that if they lose to the Texans and fall to 0-3 that Jerry Jones doesn't have much choice but to fire him. This was supposed to be the year they played in the Super Bowl at the Jerry Jones Palace, not start 0-3 and probably finish no better than 7-9 and not even make the playoffs. Jason Garrett is next in line and if they fired him (garrett), I dare say 1/2 the league would be calling him the next day with job offers to be a head coach. Its not like they can fire a defensive coordinator since Wade has that role as well.
I could see them relieving him of the Defense Coordinator role but thats not going to be a big enough shake up.
Oddly enough though, I couldn't pass up taking the Cowboys on a teaser at +9 1/2.
I think the game will play out similarly to what happened with the Texans last weekend in that it'll be a close game decided by a TD or less, but the Texans will definitely win.
Speaking of that teaser, I also took the Lions +16 1/2 vs the Vikings. I saw a stat that said of the 32 games so far this season, 19 of them were decided by 7 points or less. Combine that with the fact that the Vikings haven't even scored 20 points this year and the Lions effort in the 2nd half vs the Eagles and it was a no brainer. Also took the Titans + 9 1/2 vs the Giants. In this case, I think the Titans are the better team and the Giants will be very vulnerable to Chris Johnson running them over, and I think they have a good shot of winning or at least keeping it to within a TD.
