Amazing Cowboys are only 1 1/2 point underdogs at Green Bay

[Aven8]

Even if our D was middle of the pack games against GB are always difficult to win.

I’d of thought the line would be at least 3-4 points. Even if teams are evenly matched home field is usually worth 3 points.

I don’t know how anyone can take the Cowboys the way we’ve been playing. Especially on the road at a team with a winning record .

I can only guess the oddsmakers can’t see Cowboys falling to 2-4. Nothing else makes sense?

The odds makers attended all the defensive meetings they know something... haha

I am surprised the line hasn’t moved at all since opening. It will be interesting to see where the smart money goes…..

it has. it opened as dallas 1.5 favorites and now they are underdogs. 3 is a big shift.

 

[HanD]

I guess it depends where you look but I saw where GB opened as 3 point favs and early money went on Dallas to move it to 1 1/2.

i saw the opposite. dallas as 1.5 favorites which made no sense. then shifting 3 points to where it is now

Green Bay must be really, really bad.

All of the Cowboys losses have been one score games and the Cowboys have the advantage of the extra rest and having Joey Porter also helps as well.

You thought they would walk thru the Bucs too.

No offense buddy.

Your predictions have been TERRIBLE.

The "culture" you said this HC was changing.

Yeah, the QB of the team got an employee fired for saying the truth.

Thats the culture your favourite HC created.

All that greek danciing and paintball and "please like me" stuff has backfired in his face.

But hey, he hopes "dak still trusts him" teary emoji.

Oddsmakers only care about where they think the money will go. You're right, this line seems odd, but keep what I said in mind.

Over more than a decade now, could be longer, the Cowboys have this odd, almost cult like following when it comes to gambling. Give them too many points and the money is lopsided in favor of the Cowboys. They don't want that.

I brought this example up before. It shows how scared Vegas gets when concerning the Cowboys. It's Thanksgiving Day 2015. The Cowboys open up as 6 point favorites against Carolina. The Cowboys are 3-7, Panthers 10-0. That can only happen with the Cowboys.

Vegas probably knew the Cowboys had no chance. But they were afraid of the money going to Dallas. Up until that point, the Cowboys won the only 3 games Romo started.

Yep, they were 1.5 favorites early.

Most casual fans don’t see the possibilities of the team getting better. They’re mentally weak so it’s easy for those types to just constantly lash out. It’s easier to be a hater than a fan.

You apparently didn't see the opening line with the Boys -1.5?

For some reason they think Dallas will bounce back because they usually do even when they are bad but not this bad....

I heard it was a typo

I don't know why people look at spreads as anything other than betting behavior.
