Dallas only -7.5 favorite Monday night?

[ClappingCarrot]

I'm excited. I'm flying up to NJ Saturday morning to watch this game. I haven't been this hype for a regular season game in years.

I'd take those 7.5 points.

 

[Tabascocat]

Betting wise, I would never lay 7.5 on the road against a division opponent. It doesn’t matter which team is hot or not.........home dogs cover a lot.

Witten back on his old TV stomping grounds. 2 TDs to seal the W

HUH? Man give the points big time in other words bet the Farm on Big D on this one! Our Defense alone will win this one easy!

If you think 7.5 isn't a lot in a divisional game on the road, then you must think really highly of our QB.

But agree, our QB is going to destroy the Giants again, and as long as we limit Engram and put Byron on Tate we should handle them. Their RB is incredible, but that position doesn't mean much on the scoreboard.

The line setters first job is to make money. Lines often open like this to get people betting. It will move, one way or another, based on how people are playing it, not anything else.

I love these posts on the spread. The only advice I can give is never bet with your heart. Oh and if the line looks low it's that way for a reason. I haven't place a bet in over 10 years...go to the Atlantis in the Bahamas...looked incredulously at the board and that Dallas was giving 2.5 to the Saints with a back up QB. How do you think that worked out? And now I'll wait another 10 years.

First time all season Giants offense is fully healthy. Going to be interesting

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

Not touching that with penny. Covering a more-than-a -score spread is always dodgy because they simply don't need to.

 

[Doomsday101]

Never cared much about point spreads only interested in seeing this team go out and win this game. If at the end of the night the Cowboys are sitting at 5-3 that is what actually matters

 

[johneric8]

We're the better team of course, but it's MNF, it's a rival, and our D is suspect.

Are you sure you don't want to rethink your comment? I would say it's not our defense that should worry us! The usual "suspect"you should be referring to is our head coach who lacks the inability to have the team firing on all cylinders in a consistent manner.

 

[Direwolf63]

This is about 60-40 game in the Cowboys favor. I think they win but would not be surprised at all if they lost.

A loss would be considered a mild upset.

 

[Dallasfann]

Dang so little faith we have?
Love the Bennett pick-up look for us to have at least 4 sacks and at least 2 turnovers in our favor....

It's the same 3-5 people that do it in every thread. Nothing new.

 

[GMO415]

We were favorites against the Jets and how'd that turn out?

 

[CWR]

People want to believe this will be a close game but in reality, the Cowboys are on the verge of going undefeated the rest of the season and will make the giants their statement game to the rest of the league that they are no longer messing around. No more Mr. Nice Guy, just murdering souls.

After we made Philly our statement game. Then we gonna make Minnesota our next statement game. Leggo!

 

[MikeB80]

Heard broaddus say this morning this appears to be another jets game setup for dallas and the giants have a better running game.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

It's the same 3-5 people that do it in every thread. Nothing new.

It amazes me that some would like to see a loss if it means getting rid of the head coach. If everyone that wants that will just wait until the end of the season I strongly believe they will get their wish. No championship (not SB but nfc championship), no Garrett.

 

[quickccc]

it will be a different more competitive game than the Eli Manning meeting in the opener.
they have Golden Tate back, ditto with Cowboys killer Saquon Barkley and a different more threatening QB in rookie Daniel Jones

plus let the Barkley vs Zeke comparisons began anew.

 

[JayFord]

Its a division game

and we will only win by 3 (if that) and a loss wouldnt shock me

but i say we win 16-14

7.5 points is not an insignificant line in the NFL. This isn't college football where 2 or 3 TD lines aren't uncommon.
