BRADSHAW WON'T BET AGAINST ‘BOYS AGAIN — Following the Cowboys' 31-20 victory over the second place Giants last week, FOX NFL SUNDAY co-host Terry Bradshaw regrets picking New York to win that game.
"The Giants were coming off a bye and had all that time to prepare and it didn't faze the Cowboys one bit." said Bradshaw. As for the success of the Cowboys, Bradshaw will only pick against Dallas if they meet the Patriots in the Super Bowl. "I will not — repeat, I will not — pick against Dallas the rest of the year except for the Super Bowl. I think we all still like New England for that game."
