TNF Bears vs Washington

[DallasInDC]

Wooh boy. Thursday Night Football team straight up dismissed the Cowboys.

"Brock Purdy is a Top 5 QB"

"Cowboys have to hope they can stack the box"

"This is the Cowboys Super Bowl, this is just a game to the 49ers"

Sounds like the CowboysZone.

That's good... we play our best when the media dismisses us.

I mean the fact that Howell, Kirk Cousins in primetime and Mac Jones lit them up does tell us defensively they have issues.

Gave you a like for the premise but not sure who you are talking about because Arizona doesn't play New England this year (Nor does Chicago), Washington doesn't play them until November, and Mac sure as heck didn't lite us up.

And unless I am missing (totally possible), none of them have played Minnesota yet so not sure where Cousins comes in either.

Cowboys could be tied for 1st if the Eagles lose to the Rams.

No. 4-1 is still better than 3-2.

 

[rambo2]

No. 4-1 is still better than 3-2.

A good chance the Cowboys will be 4 and 1.

 

[Risen Star]

A good chance the Cowboys will be 4 and 1.

No. 3-2.

 

[rambo2]

No. 3-2.

Do you really believe that the 49ers are better than the Cowboys and will beat them?

 

[meddleroidz]

Arizona looks much better than washington. Philly made Howell look like Marino.

marino had a great 20 years career, howell has had one good game...relax, and philly won, or was that a mistake?

Do you really believe that the 49ers are better than the Cowboys and will beat them?

Yes. I and the rest of America believe that.

 

[rambo2]

Yes. I and the rest of America believe that.

Then why doesn't the point spread move?

 

[Risen Star]

Then why doesn't the point spread move?

The point spread that gives the Cowboys points?

 

[Flamma]

Then why doesn't the point spread move?

If the 49ers are favored to win, and the point spread doesn't move, that means people believe the 49ers are favored to win.

 

[rambo2]

If the 49ers are favored to win, and the point spread doesn't move, that means people believe the 49ers are favored to win.

It means that even money is bet on both sides.

 

[Flamma]

It means that even money is bet on both sides.

Because the point spread is Dallas +3 1/2. If Dallas wasn't getting 3.5, even money wouldn't be coming in.

 

[rambo2]

Because the point spread is Dallas +3 1/2. If Dallas wasn't getting 3.5, even money wouldn't be coming in.

If the money wasn't even. The point spread would move until they got more money on the other side.

 

[Flamma]

If the money wasn't even. The point spread would move until they got more money on the other side.

What I'm trying to say is, the point spread is what makes the money even. The Panthers are 9.5 underdogs. Yet the line hasn't moved. That doesn't mean people think the Panthers have an equal chance at winning. It means they do as long as you include the spread.

If the Dallas game was a pick em, more money would be coming in for the 49ers. If it was Dallas +7, more money would be bet on Dallas.

Cowboys could be tied for 1st if the Eagles lose to the Rams.

Would love it.
The Rams have been one of the surprises so far.
They set the NFL record for most days lost on the offensive line last year (has practice squad guys all across the line) and they are still a bit thin there....and elsewhere.
But they are capable of pulling the upset for sure.
Getting Kupp back helps
