Eagles open as 3 1/2 point favorite vs Cowboys

[JoeKing]

Nope, Romo played horribly. It only looked like it was a total team beatdown because the QB position is so integral. Romo played bad, the offense couldn't stay on the field and exposed the defense to many more offensive plays from the Eagles. It's all linked. As such, Romo playing much better (he obviously will) will have a trickle down effect on the entire game and we'll win convincingly.

I don't disagree with any of that. Romo playing well can have that affect on the offence. I still think the odds makers should favor the iggles by more than 3.5 points. I'm betting the farm on the Boys.

This was the set line. The direction the line takes now will indicate which way the masses believe the game is going to go.

It is down to 3 now.

This is Vegas telling you "not this time".

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I think the Cowboys win this time around with the 10 days rest. I'll say they win a 31-27 type of game.

I like that score. I was thinking 27-24 dallas. with murray at least 130 yards rushing.

 

[Sydla]

Eagles buddy says the line jumped to 4 and is trending towards 4.5 which would would be bad news.

That being said, I just checked around and I don't see any of the major books both in Vegas or Offshore with that line. I see 3 or 3.5..........

I haven't seen any line movement yet, but it's still very early in the week. Dallas is getting more action than Philly so far...

 

[Cebrin]

It won't be like Thanksgiving. I know that for sure. I think it's time for Linehan to lay out some cards and open this thing up a bit. We need to offensively explode in this game to win. Murray is still very important though.

 

[Sarge]

I don't know if we will win this game but I would bet it's not going to be as ugly as the Thanksgiving Day game was. I predict a good close game.

It is down to 3 now.

Did you hear that, Philly? That's the sound of the betting public losing faith in you. LOL.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Surprised it's not more.

Good. I'd rather be underdogs this go around.

 

[Wayne02]

Did you hear that, Philly? That's the sound of the betting public losing faith in you. LOL.

Unfortunately, the betting public won't be playing in the game.

 

[Staubacher]

Unfortunately, the betting public won't be playing in the game.

That's fine I'd rather Romo and the boys play than Guido from Chicago

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Come on babe underdawg mentality be physical go in like the Seattle and NO games

 

[Beast_from_East]

If you go by how the line is moving, its apparent that more money is being placed on Dallas winning the rematch after 10 days of rest.


Not that this is any guarantee, but just saying.

 

[mahoneybill]

Agreed. When I think unstoppable, I think of an Aaron Rodger's led Green Bay offense, not one that scores 14 points (including 7 on a gifted short field) and produces 139 total yards. LOL. This Eagles team makes me want to puke with their overratedness.

Every year there is a media darling and " the birds" are this years version....

 

[mahoneybill]

We will win if we stop McCoy,not sure we have the LBs to stop him though.

Not having Durant is a liability. He seemed to sniff out opposing RB's very well while he played this year

 

[mahoneybill]

I agree. The betting line is based on the money but you can get an idea of whose betting what although it is not a big deal to go on. A few people bet huge negates thousands betting small so you can't base it on 'one dollar=one vote'. But the smart money tends to flow to the 'right' side of the equation. Mostly....

I quit betting on the NFL many years ago because you can't win consistently. I don't gamble at all anymore. I'd put the Eagles at 5 1/2 if I were booking. I think we beat them but the game has too many variables. IF we win TOP, get Sc% around 50-60, and don't turn the ball over AS WELL as rattle Sanchez and limit both run and pass to 275 or less then we should win. Left out limit big plays to about 4 with less than 50% scoring ones BTW.

But that's a successful formula for beating lots of team.

Like the analysis and thinking.
