Dallas only 2.5 point Favorites on Thursday

[StarBoyz83]

I'll miss it because I'll be at work but I'll watch it when I get home. Unless they lose lol

 

[conner01]

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

Pretty safe bet
We always take the ball and many teams defer so odds good we get ball first

 

[conner01]

If we don't turn the ball over..

Minnesota is good at taking the ball away and good on STs...we do take care of the ball well though..

If they don't score on ST and get a couple turnovers this game will be over early
Their offense is a short pass offense because their oline isn't very good. Protect the ball, kickoff out the back of the end zone and don't punt.

Yeah..sounds good...not so easy

Bradford plays well vs us
.
We have no pass rush

Their defense is good

They take the ball away

They score in all 3 phases of the game

We can blow them out..they can also keep it close

Only 2.5 point favorites on the road against a team with a winning record, that is respect actually.

 

[Risen Star]

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.

The line opened there. So your theory is incorrect.

Vegas saw our D give up 8 zillion yards last week, The spread at 3 is just right.

 

[kramskoi]

If NYG is good enough to run the table, including a 2nd win over us, they would've deserved the division title. No chance in h3!! it happens though.

The Minny game is sets up similarly to the Baltimore game. Shaky offense. Not as stout up front but better secondary than Baltimore.

Their o-line is only adequate at both guard positions...otherwise center and tackle play should allow Crawford and Lawrence to at least harass Bradford, even if they don't actually sack him. I expect perhaps a close game in the first half (like the Ravens game) but the Dallas o-line should show itself in the second.

 

[CATCH17]

We need to run the ball this game.


Vikings will throw a lot of blitzes at us that I'm sure Dak hasn't seen yet.

Yep, I'm sure that 6 points allowed in the first 3 quarters terrified them.

Most of the bets will be on DALLAS this Thursday. DALLAS might lose to the Vikings.

If Vegas wants to even the bets, a realistic spread move should go to -4,-5 or higher to lure Viking bets in and even out the bets.

If the spread remains at -2.5 to even a pickem then we'll know the Cowboys are losing!

If Giants beat the Steelers, then the following Sunday could potentially tie the division. Cowboys will be at 10-2 while giants at 9-3.

If this happens bets on Cowboys and Giants might be pretty even, cause Cowboys would be coming off a loss and playing in NY.

I think Cowboys beat the Giants and may face them again in the playoffs in a tie breaker.

 

[Redball Express]

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?

Well..

It's obviously going to be revealing.

We have to be prepared for things to tighten up closing out the season.

Adversity has not really presented itself for us.

The next 5 games tells us who we are.

The pressure is squarely on us now.

I have no idea really where it goes

 

[manster4ever]

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

No. The Giants D won't allow 34 to them IMO. They will probably turn Ben over once too. I see a very close game but lower scoring. But I do think Pitt will win it...they are tough at home and have to have this game. 27-24 Squealers.

No, if that was it, the line would be going the other way.

What the hell is up with this logic? If the spread stays at 2.5 we know Dallas is losing? As if the spread has any influence on the game

 

[reddyuta]

This may be the best secondary Dak Has faced so far, Their LBs are pretty good too.

The spread has a lot to do with the outcome of the game. Just follow the money and monitor the spread on all teams, and you'll find vegas usually comes out on top when bets are lopsided. Happens too often for it to be a coincidence.

Vegas been losing money on Dallas all season

Uh, actually it'd be the opposite. Only 2.5 point favorites is baiting people into betting on Dallas.
