Dallas vs Minnesota: Against The Spread

[Phoenix]

Here are the posted "Against the Spread" trends for both teams at BSPN:


The Cowboys are 7-9 ATS.
The Cowboys are 3-5 ATS away.
The Cowboys are 0-3 ATS as the underdog.
The Cowboys are 0-3 ATS as an away underdog.

The Vikings are 6-10 ATS.
The Vikings are 3-5 ATS at home.
The Vikings are 3-5 ATS as the underdog.
The Vikings are 0-1 ATS as a home underdog.



For the Cowboys above, the ATS/underdog ones are a little worrisome.

I like the first two Vikings ATS listings above.

The last two don't make sense to me. What are the Vikings as the favorites, which is what SHOULD have been posted at BSPN?

The Cowboys were underdogs only two times this season, at NO and at Philly and they won both games and obviously the spread.

I don't even pay attention to what the spread is. It really doesn't make any difference, it's only good for betting purposes.

Wow, seriously? I don't know where BSPN's numbers for these are coming from.

For reference, they are posted here: http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/intel?gameId=300117016

One thing that I noticed the past couple of days was that ESPN has been saying that the Cowboys are 2-0 in road playoff games against the Vikings. That's not right, because they lost to the Vikings in the 1999 Wild Card game.
