3 point underdog against Washington?

I'm not feeling that comfortable about the game, but I thought we would be favored by a small margin even though not playing at home. Kind of suprised me.

Well, early in the week it's an automatic 3 points to the Skins for home field. So right now it would be a 'pick em' if it were at a neutral site. Considering we lost to them earlier in the season, that sounds about right.

Over the course of the week, the people making bets will skew the spread one way or another.

You automatically get +3 for being at home. THe difference between the two teams is neglegable.

I'm glad we're the underdog, more motivation to whip that ***.

great news. home dogs are tougher to beat. this way they don't get the extra motivation of being disrespected at home.

Looking at the numbers from the Wash/Arz game I was suprised to see that the skins were only able to sack Warner 2 times in that game

Dallas should be a 1-2 point favorite in this game and a 4-5 point favorite at a neutral site and a 7 point favorite if they were the home team.


The Commanders have been a team barely treading water the last 10 weeks. There "O" is anemic at best and will have a very hard time putting up points on the Dallas "D". There "D" is good enough to keep them in games, but not good enough to shut teams down in the 4th quarter. They have lost atleast 4 games where they had the lead with 5 minutes left to play. This is just as much the "O"'s fault for not being able to run the ball in the 4th to get 1st downs and eat up the clock as it is there "D"'s fault.



The Skins are a team still learning how to win. They are still a year behind Dallas in the rebuilding process and this game should show it. Dallas should win this game by a field goal or less in the final seconds.

Dallas 16 - 13

By the way I am a diehard Skin fan and I can't see them winning this game at all. They got really lucky in the first game and won't be able to duplicate that miracle this week. This game should help to bring back some fire to the once great rivalry between the teams.

Here's to a good game that goes right down to the wire and no injuries.

you gotta be kidding me. this has got to be a first in the annals of the boys/skins rivalry. an objective die hard skin fan. you live long enough and get to see everything i guess

 

[Skins26]

We'll win.
Why?
We have a better kicker.

If this game is anything like the last three, it'll come down to a field goal.

In the past three games:
Dallas 4 TDs
Washington 5 TDs
...But...
Wins:
Dallas 2
Washington 1

Best leg wins this game.

If the best leg wins the game..then the cowboys win it hands down.

I have the best looking leg...hairy, but very sexy.

Carry on.

Vegas lines are set to encourage betting on both sides of the line. They are setup as to what Vegas believes the general public believes the outcome of the game will be. Nothing more.

I would assume a thank you is in order, but I am just calling it as I see it. Some fans can take off there team shaded glasses and be objective.

This weeks game is the first really meaningful game between the two teams in a very long time. As a matter of fact I can't even remember the last time we had a game this late in the season that had playoff implications for both teams.

This game should usher in a new era to the once great rivalary. Any knowledgeable fan can see that both teams are in the process of building playoff caliber teams. They both have HOF coaches that are bringing back smashmouth football to the NFC east. The Cowboys are probably a year ahead of the Skins towards achieving that goal.

I predict that next season the NFC east will once again be the best division in the NFL. This also means the Eagles will return to the basement where most moldy green things belong.

Why would we be favored when the beat us on our homefield?
