Truly looking like a "house money" game!

I'm sure the refs will keep the Cowboys in the win column, like they did vs Detroit the past two seasons.
Last year's was so obvious it left no doubt as to the officials being involved.
By the way; I think the NFL is planning on the Cowboys being in the Super Bowl.
Probably vs the Chiefs.
Why watch the games if the only ones playing are the refs? :rolleyes:

yjbetting line is set, with Detroit being favored by three points.

That's, without a doubt, never any guarantee of winning.

Brandon Aubrey could even that up with one kick.

Enjoy the game, regardless of the results!

What's interesting is that Vegas has the Ravens being 7 point favorites over the Commanders. So they aren't swayed like others are by the Commanders start to the season. While they see something in the match up between the Lions and Cowboys to believe that game will be closer than many thinks it will be. All of the injuries to Dallas hasn't moved the line more in the favor of the Lions like some might have thought it would.

Maybe Vegas sees a potential high scoring shoot out between the Lions and Cowboys that comes down to the 4th quarter.

I don't much.
They aren't fun anymore, and now that I know all that I know I just can't get interested in any team.
I've seen too many obvious instances of the game being rigged. It takes away the excitement. Last year's game vs Detroit capped it off.

We get 3 pts for Home team, but playing like crap at home. Based upon matchups the spread should be higher, so something Vegas knows seems fishy

With all of the Cowboys injuries this is an easy pick this week. Take Lions and give the points.

No, Cowboys haven’t been a home dog with a winning record since 2109 versus Pats.

If this was in Detroit line would be at least -6, maybe more.

So much more action on Cowboys as too many of their fans always bet with their hearts not their minds.

It's a very odd line for sure, but Vegas must be setting it based upon our struggles on D vs. the Lions strengths. As much as on paper they should destroy us, it is the Lions and I would not trust them enough to bet money on them

No , not odd at all. Dallas opened as 1/2 point favorite and line immediately went to Dallas +3 which means the early big money went on Lions.

If you’re a big player and you love the line you jump all over it as soon as line breaks. Imagine all of the big players who actually got the opening line.

So many Cowboy fans and most bet with their hearts not their minds.

your post is typical so keep on doing your shtick.
Pointing out undesirable behavior is my schtick? Okay. As if that makes the behavior desirable.

Being divisive and planning to lose would be your schtick.

Well, the refs definitely aren't shy about punishing complainers,,, let's hope they teach the Lions a lesson on Sunday.

Based on that it can go either way. Which comes from watching the games for over 60 years
No, you said it's a tossup which means the teams are built evenly on both sides of the ball which they are not. Of course on any given Sunday.....that's not what you said though and after watching Football for 40 years there is a difference. Odds makers know it, you know it
