The narrator explains "They intended to pay Bilbo really handsomely for his services; they had brought him to do a nasty job for them, and they did not mind the little fellow doing it if he would...There it is: Dwarves are not heroes, but calculating folk with a great idea of the value of money; some are tricky and treacherous and pretty bad lots; some are not, but decent enough people like Thorin and Company, if you don't expect to much." This is the only explanation for their cowardice.
