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.
No they won't, Philly is just warming up and the Boys are in DEEP trouble! The Boys aren't winning another game this year, this whole organization is too flawed to compete at this level! There's no fun in ONE and DONE in the playoffs, look for Brady and the Bucks to roll the Cowboys.

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.
People seem to think that the odds makers are basing the pointspread entirely off of what happens on a football field. Yes that plays a big part of it, but just as big is trying to equalize the bets for either team. Casinos are very happy to just make their vig. When betting gets lopsided for one team or the other they get very nervous and adjust the spread accordingly.

I would expect that the betting public is going to go hard for the Eagles as a 1.5 point dog… So that pointspread make creep the other way over the week…That is all depending of course on what happens over the week… If one team or the other starts to talk about resting starters then that will change everything.

Opened at -1.5 and Cowboys now up to -2.5. People are betting enough on Dallas to move the line fresh off the last two weeks? Who hates money that much?

We are going to lose, discussion over. Does anyone who is not a blind homer not know this?
You sound so sure. Maybe you should find a bookie.
Did you predict Jacksonville to win this past weekend?
Link on prediction if you did. thanks
