That's because the odds makers don't get their initial line based on a single game. In other words, they aren't typically a bunch of overreacting Nancy's, like you see here.

That said, the line will move. I expect we will be underdogs before kick off.

A lot of bettors will lose some $$$ next Saturday betting on Philthy. The Dallas Jekylls’ will show up and win. It is just the way this team goes…….never know what to expect but I like Dallas to cover whatever the line ends up.

Lol, me too. This is how they operate. Had we beat the Jags I'm not sure I'd feel the same. They love to suck us back in, and we (me) are stupid enough to fall for it.

Eagles will be fired up. They are better team. They have better coaching. It’s amazing how they were in the toilet just two years ago and now going to the Super Bowl most likely. Dak to have four turnovers, one fumble and three interceptions.

Yep. This. Dallas likely bounces back and makes a “statement” on Sat. But it means nothing.

What they do in the playoffs is what will define this season. They have given games away this year and continue to make the fundamental mistakes that have always beaten themselves.

It feels like Dak and Co will likely gather themselves for a big push against the Eagles and will likely empty the tank doing so. Saturdays game is likely our Super Bowl lol…

This game is not meaningless, it's the most important one to date.

Mentally its for NFC supremacy

It’s also tilted because of the known-to-Vegas tendency for people to overheat the Cowboys.

That very well could happen. Consistency is the mark of greatness.

If Dallas loses to the Eagles (I think they'll beat the Eagles), wouldn't it be better to play backups and rest the starters the final two games so the Defense can get healthy for the playoffs?
