Anyone care to explain to me why the skins are 2.5 pt dogs?

[theebs]

I dont understand it.

They have a better record, they are at home and they beat us once.

Why are we favored?

Doesnt make much sense but I am sure it will be taken note of in the washington locker room.

First they are 11 point dogs on the road and now they are 2.5 pt dogs at home.

Pretty dumb.

I'm guessing they're looking at who all is supposed to return this week: Romo, Kosier and Newman for sure; possibly Felix.

I would rather see us go in as dogs and carry a bit of a chip on our shoulder. These guys can't afford to think they're expected to win.

 

[Kaika]

These guys can't afford to think they're expected to win.

If they do then they have very short memories.

Romo > Cambell
TO > Moss
Witten > Cooley
Barber == Portis
Felix > Betts
Newman > Springs
Ware > Carter
My Grandmother > DeAngelo Hall

:laugh2:

Id rather have Portis than Barber, anyday.

I agree with this all except the Barber = Portis. As much as I love Barber I'd take Portis over him, for sure.

One word:

Portis. His injuries are legit. He was already banged up before the Steelers game.

romo has a broken hand, felix would be coming off injury, same with some of our other players. portis is the main part of washintons offense, and he will be injured, romo is the main part of our offense, and he will be injured. washington is a much better football team. i have no idea why we're favored(besides the fact that cowboy fans will bet on them no matter what).

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

well if were expecting Portis or the skins to lay down because Portis MIGHT be hurt, then that would be a severe tragedy.

 

[YosemiteSam]

I suppose. I will say one thing about him. He is a workhorse. Of course he has had durability issues. He has only played 16 games 3 of his 7 season in the league. He is having a great year this year. He hasn't run at this level since he was in Denver.

Maybe i missed it but when did Romo break his hand?

 

[Kilyin]

Because Vegas wants to entice people to bet on the game.

LOL, do you not read sports news AT ALL? It's only been all over the news for several weeks and the reason he hasn't been playing the last several games!

This is interesting since. When I checked the line Sunday night I was certain it said Washington was a 2.5 favorite.

Now I just checked online and I see us as a 1.5 favorite. Maybe I read it wrong Sunday night.

Either way, why would you care, let alone be upset that we are a favorite?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I'm sure his angle was going to be that it was just his pinkie and not his hand, so he could then claim that Romo was a wuss for not playing with a bad little finger.

But it's the metacarpal, below the knuckle. So it is his hand.

Didnt realize breaking your pinky finger was the same as breaking your hand. My bad.

It is Commander fan.
