The Cowboys traveled to Tennessee as 3.5-point underdogs. Home teams generally start with a base 3-point advantage, so these odds suggested that on a neutral field, the game could have been a pretty even match. But not according to some of the experts, many of whom saw the Titans as overwhelming favorites.
Turns out they were ever so slightly off the mark.
ESPN picked 1-13 against the Cowboys:
Pro Football Focus were unanimous in picking the Cowboys to lose:
SB Nation's panel of experts were also hit hard by the clownface cake that came flying in from Tennessee.
Even the hometown Dallas Morning News Panel showed they have very little hometown love for Cowboys.

But while it sure is fun to point fingers after what has to be considered an upset win, the poor record of the experts in picking Cowboys games also highlights that at this point in the season, it's hard to accurately assess these Cowboys.
