At this point, there’s not much left to like about the Dallas Cowboys, who are riding a broken-down donkey of a coach and following a quarterback, Tony Romo, who can’t shoot straight under pressure.

The simplest way to view the bowls is to look at impact players, so here are five (quarterbacks not included) who should play big roles in winning or losing wagers.
A sense of impending doom surrounded the Chicago Bears when Jay Cutler, who might or might not be the franchise’s future quarterback, limped off the field with a groin injury. With Cutler, it often appears to be loser’s limp, but this injury was legit.
Even when the odds are against Tom Brady, we expect him to succeed. He captains comebacks like no other quarterback in the NFL. So we expect him to succeed especially when the odds are against him.
On and off the field, the Washington Redskins are a mess. Full responsibility for that falls on the narrow shoulders of coach Mike Shanahan, a manipulator not to be taken at face value.
A month ago, the Kansas City Chiefs were undefeated and coach Andy Reid was hailed as a miracle worker. But soon enough, reality set in, as it often does in the NFL.
Paul Stone (with Jim Kruger) and Scott Pritchard go head-to-head with $25,000 riding on their picks.
Adam Hill, Kelly Stewart and Matt Youmans of the Review-Journal compete with handicappers Dana Lane and Bruce Marshall in a 35-game college football bowl contest.
