Ok another silly online article, but interesting.
They use cg technology , whatever that is to deduce point spreads, but did not do week
17 as too many variables ! lol guess the computer shorted out on trying to calculate all that.

Basically it is predicting Dallas to win 10 games lose 3, and 3 are picks so they dont know.
Of course the 3 losses to the good teams, and we beat all the not so good teams.
It rarely works out like that.
here are the lines:

Week 1 New York Giants at Dallas (-4, 50) this should be close, usually -3

Week 2 Dallas (PK) at Washington Commanders

Week 3 Chicago Bears at Dallas (-6)

Week 4 Dallas (-3) at San Francisco 49ers

Week 5 Cincinnati Bengals at Dallas (PK)

Week 6 Dallas at Green Bay Packers (-6)

Week 7.........BYE

Week 8 Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas (-3.5)

Week 9 Dallas (-5) at Cleveland Browns

Week 10 Dallas at Pittsburgh Steelers (-6)

Week 11 Baltimore Ravens at Dallas (-4.5)

Week 12 Washington Commanders at Dallas (-3.5)

Week 13 Dallas at Minnesota Vikings (-4.5)

Week 14 Dallas at New York Giants (-1)

Week 15 Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Dallas (-6)

Week 16 Detroit Lions at Dallas (-5)

week 17 game 16 At Eagles not predicted. so I will do it, Pick

Minnesota laying too many points...good team for sure...but they won't cover 4.5

Vikings are coming into the 2016 season waaaay over-hyped and won't come close to matching expectations. Unrelated to this thread, but related to teams due for comeuppance, the Colts better buckle the F-up because they are about to be taken for a ride in that division. The days of being the tallest midget are over and there's nothing that overrated Andy Luck or mouth-breather Pagano can do to stop the pain train.

lol I guess you dont like the colts ??
I think Tenn and Texans may make a move this year.
It is a weak div.
In 2014 we played that div, which gave us 4 of the 12 wins.

I don't disagree with too many but I expect the Ravens to have a bounce back year.

What is the point in setting the point spread for these games now? Dumb.

 

[cowboyblue22]

point spreads in june mean nothing.

Something to get people to read to possibly get clicks on the ads to make money.
That's can be the only reason. Or maybe there are some hardcore betters out there that will take a flyer on some of those odds now.

Watch out for the Jags...they can make a move....I mean the actual Jaguars, not the JAGS as in the term of Bill Parcels, the one used too much around here.
I think they are a sleeper team, if not to make a push this year, but next year for sure. If they can stay healthy, seems they get hit hard on their early picks.

Getting 4 wins against that division goes for many teams, not just us. If you look around the league, all teams getting wins, come against the less win teams. I don't buy into the..yeah, but they haven't beaten anyone excuses, not too often. However we had some years, as other teams too, where they beat quite a few teams with winning records. When the NFC East used to be real good that is. LOL.

Nah..don't hate 'em, but that franchise has been very, very fortunate for awhile now. Basically, undue praise was showered on them for the past few years...even after we hung a 40-burger around their neck. The teet is drying up fast and I wouldn't be surprised if they are fighting with the Titans to stay out of the basement. The Texans and Jaguars are going to use Lucks head as a speed bag. Wait...yeah, actually, I do hate them.

Even without our starting DE's, I'd expect us to cover 3 at SF pretty easily.
