Dallas only 2.5 point Favorites on Thursday

[Longboysfan]

The Giants aren't good enough offensively to go toe to toe with Pittsburgh. Big Ben will get his and Eli will throw a couple of picks if he tries to match him. Pittsburgh wins 34- 17

Then some reality returns to the division race.

The Giants struggled with the Browns yesterday.
And if not for the inept Browns offense in the red zone would have been closer.

 

[Verdict]

I think if we win the coin toss we will go on offense first in Minnesota, to help negate the crowd noise.

Hard to see Dak not beating Bradford by more than 3.

Playing ping pong or football? Last I checked it was not a head to head game.

We would have to lay a huge egg to lose this game IMO.

The line is actually 3. If you count home field getting 3, then that makes it 6 points Dallas is favored by. Minny has a pretty tough defense "sometimes" but they have nothing on offense with Bradford. I see us winning this game.

On a side note, the Steelers are favored by 5.5 vs the Giants. I will be rooting hard for the Steelers.

I feel as though the Cowboys matchup favorably to the Vikings. While it will be the toughest defense they have seen by far all season, perhaps only the Rams have a more anemic offense. Cowboys should still win the TOP battle, they don't play a style that turns the ball over, and can likely cruise.

Minnesota home field is worth 4

On top of that, the game is in Minnesota, thus, you can't just say Dallas is favored by 6 or 7..the game isn't on a neutral field, so there's no point in mentioning it

This game is going to be closer than many on here are expecting

The Vikings lost 5 of their last 6 games. Their lone win was over a Cardinals team in complete free-fall.

And people scared the Giants are gonna run the table need to relax. I don't think Eli wins 5 straight games with his arm. The Giants running game has bogged down, they end up having Eli put it up 40-50 times a game. That might work against the Browns or other bad teams, but it won't work against us.

No it's not. It's telling us that all the money is coming in on Dallas, and they are trying to get people to bet on Minnesota.

Well there's one person here who knows how Vegas actually works.

If Minny homefield is worth 4 and and the odds makers have Dallas at -3, then what does that tell you? I think we are the much better team. Bradford and that offense are terrible and their defense has fallen off lately. They can be tough in their home stadium though.. so we will see. I'm taking the Cowboys 27-20.

Tell me exactly what I said earlier..this game is going to be tough

Yes.. I keep telling people the same thing. Vegas odds has nothing to do with who wins or loses.. all they want is even betting from both sides.. they win.

I like where your head is but reality may take over. I have the Viking game as real close. If my crystal ball is correct the Viking offense makes a mistake with less than a minute to go and Bailey kicks the field goal Cowboys winning by 2 points.

Man, if we lose this game setting up a winner take all in New York for the division..................I have seen this movie before and I don't like the ending.

If we lose to Minny and the Gmen beat the Steelers, then we could actually drop out of first place if we don't take care of business in New York.

13-3 wildcard team, wouldn't that just be a kick to the balls.................Has there ever been a 13-3 wildcard team before?

The Steelers will have a say in setting up the big game in NY. Honestly I see them winning going away against the Giants. The Giants are frauds and the next 5 games will prove it.

This game will be easier than our last 3 games we have played. If we don't turn the ball over this game will be a runaway. 10+

Or we get a pick 6 on Bradford...

 

[jazzcat22]

I think NY has a very tough game in Pittsburgh. My only question is....who will the refs favor more....it is 2 of Goodell's teams that he is in the pockets of the owners...more so Mara than rooney is my belief.

 

[Kalyan]

We have a huge advantage in the way our offense is setup by running the ball. The last 4 weeks of the season, defenses are tired and our offensive line should push DL easily, so advantage Dallas

 

[TheHerd]

Or we get a pick 6 on Bradford...

When was the last interception?

 

[SDCowboy]

Or we get a pick 6 on Bradford...

If our D managed to get even one more turnover the rest of the season, I would be legit stunned.

 

[DenCWBY]

If we lose against the Vikes, no panic. Giants will get theirs too. The NFC East will cannibalize later in the season and we'll be just fine as long as we take care of the ball and stay healthy. Even if we stumble, we play very well on the road. Yes, a lot of "if's and "buts out there however the pressure is on the opposition to catch us for a change, not vice versa.
