Generous.

 

[Vintage]

That's it? I figured they were at least 35687643488 point favorites. Maybe more. Especially since Claiborne is a bust.

 

[Bungarian]

I never understood those betting numbers

Seems a little early for point spreads.

 

[DanTanna]

I would take the over on that one.

 

[elcowboi]

They couldn't wait for the schedule to come out. How do they even come with that number? Like another poster said, that is generous.

 

[DFWJC]

Dallas has played well in openers lately.
I bet it's a great game.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Wow, that's generous......................I would have expected a line of 4 or 5 at least.

If I was a betting man, I would be all over that.

 

[Tabascocat]

That line will change to Dallas -10 by kickoff. A. Smith will be in jail for stealing all of the skittles throughout the Seattle area, Johnny Football will be fired up and guaranteeing a victory(aka a Namath), Clowney and Donald will be ready to put Gabbert on the turf all day. Colin Kapernickel will be out for the game, just not sure why yet............................

Oh, Sammy Watkins will start off a Hall of Fame career for us with 5 TD's, four thrown by Johnny himself and one from Romo in trash time.


In recap, this line don't mean Jack squat!

 

[Bullflop]

With us being only a mere 3.5 point underdog, we must have done really well in the draft. Oh, that's right -- it's not 'til May 8th!

 

[casmith07]

Now apply this same "*** it's too early" logic to the schedule predictors saying we're going to go 0-16

You are probably bertter off that way.
