Tom Florio and Chris Simms on Pro Football Talk agreed the Rams will be lucky if the crowd is an even 50-50 split ; they both said it's more likely Saturday night is going to seem like a Cowboys home game...........................

They're in the risk mitigation business. They may move the line 1.5, but not 2, and they definitely won't hit the magic 7 point threshold.

Its already 7?? So if they move it 1.5 its down to 5.5??

No, that's my mistake. I was thinking about the Eagles spread when I posted.

Cowboys opened at +7. I don't think it'll move more than 1/2 point.

I like the look of that money line @ +279

We will see. I think knowing the Cowboys popularity and that being a fairly generous spread the early money will go to Dallas, forcing the line to change.

You and everybody else. It's getting bet heavily our way ATM.

The sharp money is pretty evenly spread on the line right now (56-44 last time I checked). I think the late fan money will go on the Dallas side, though.

We've won 8 of 9 and every one of the 8 has been won by one possesion. Even against the Commanders without their starting QB and the Bucs. No logic in thinking we suddenly win by more than one possession on the road against a good team in the playoffs. But you're free to your opinion, even if it's backed by nothing.

I'd bet the defense would give up a garbage touchdown at the end to make a 3 point win like it just did yesterday. (even though yesterday was 2)

Most of these games our offense has been figuring itself out, increasingly each game and we have left many points on the field. The Saints game was a blow out physically, we left so many points on the field. All those field goals are now becoming touchdowns. We were much the better team against Seattle with the score only tightening at the very end. I easily see us winning big against the Rams as this offense really starts to click. New Orleans is called "the most balanced team", I think Dallas is the most balanced team. And coalescing right now in the spot light.

One of the worse games I have ever experienced. Dickerson ran for like 230 yards or so. I knew at that time and it only solidified my beliefs that the vaunted flex defense was officially dead. Yet Landry would not change and we muddled around for the next three years.

Yeah, it was 248 yards. The scary thing is their starting QB went 6-22 for 50 yards. And we still got beat 20-0. That game was horrible to watch (as was the 44-0 Bears loss earlier that year).

 

[Starforever]

We were 3-5 on the road this season. The Rams had a better season than we did. Only makes sense they would be favored at home.

To me that actually evens out the score. They have home field, rest, better record, and they have been touted as the better team. Why not give them at least 10.5? Dallas looks good in my estimation.

I like Dallas to cover the 7

 

[lopey]

Our defense vs their defense - favors us slighty
Goff vs Dak - wash
Gurley vs Zeke - wash
Cooper vs Woods - wash
Cooks vs Gallup - favors them
coaching - favors them

You think Goff and Dak are a wash???

 

[Colombiacowboy]

That's Vegas telling you we get smoked.

The very first Cowboys game I remember watching clearly was the 85 divisional round playoff game when Dickerson and the Rams shut them out. I still want revenge for that game.

Oh boy, that was a bad memory. Dickerson tore us a part that day.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Wish me luck

 

[cowboyblue22]

I think tavon Austin will put in a lotof work this week and will be ready to play

 

[LovinItAll]

Definitely not. Dak over Goff all day, every day.

 

[lopey]

Definitely not. Dak over Goff all day, every day.

HMm I don't know about that. Goff as a passer is much better than Dak. But Dak is so far in his career a better leader.

Wise guys will be all over the Rams. Dallas will get the popular money.
