Cowboys open as 14 point favorites

I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it with my own two eyes.

This is 1994-esque, no? That team used to cover too.

It's great that we're highly rated, but from a betting standpoint, that's tough. I wouldn't touch it.

 

[Manster68]

Knowing Dallas' defensive deficiencies, if I were a betting man, I might take the Rams and the points.

Why not? The formula says that the final will be 45-14 Cowboys!!

Yeah, I ain't taking that bet.

I jumped on it early, and got te Cowboys at 11 point favorites. Still high, but better than 14

The spread is about right. The Rams without S. Jackson are in trouble.

The Cowboys should be able to name their score. It all comes down to Garrett's playcalling. If he continues to emphasize the aggressive air attack, it should be more than 14. If Garrett decides to emphasize the running game, 14 becomes a tougher number.

garret like scoring thirty points

I wouldn't be so sure about that..

Newman will be back this week..

The Rams are without Steven Jackson and they lost yet another offensive lineman..

Marc Bulger is hurting..

The Cowboys return home after a two week road trip and Cowboys fever is now in high gear.. The crowd should be crazy and the players will be very confidant..

I think I'm talking myself into making a bet..

Except, it is the Rams offense that is in the tank, and their defense that is rated pretty good. So, with an improving Dallas defense, and no Rams offense, 14 points might be a good bet.

I say this because Dallas will stifle what little offense the Rams have, and will overcome the good Rams defense with another 30+ point effort. The fact the Rams are 0-3 means they aren't an elite team, as their defense hasn't been enough to carry the offense.

Unless Romo and T.O. decide to go to Vegas and get married, with Henry as the Best Man and Eduncan as the Brides Maid...if I lived in a state where I could go put down a 100 dollar bill? I'm there!

Actually, I got it in at 12, but obviously it has shot up to 14 at most sports books which tells me that the people that are professional gamblers are betting heavy Boys!

Good, lets hope we get more favorable calls this week cause evidently the money was on the Bears last week.

But it seems like every team that has beaten us in the past, we get revenge on.

Wow dude. I get a headache when I read your posts.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I doubt Bulger finishes the game. I'm betting this is the first week we truly see Wade's attacking defense deliver as advertised. Bulger won't finish the game. That team is lifeless and heartless. Last week N.E. covered a 17 point spread. I expect us to do the same here. This IS NOT Parcell's Cowboys. We're riding too high right now.

Just stop reading his posts... it's worked for me...

I quickly figured out that even once you translated his gibberish, he still didn't have anything interesting to say...
