vs Eagles, ACCUSCORE says....

[7footer]

FIRST of all, to the detractors and flamethrowers among you who have been continually proven wrong in your view by this, please keep your opinions to yourselves. Your flames have already previously been doused by gasoline. No need to have to rehash your embarrassments in the future. :


According to AccuScore, the Cowboys are favored in simulations by a 64% to 35% margin. (Yes, I know, once again, doesn't add up to 100. I guess fractions (not posted) are involved.)

The average score in the game in simulations, over 10,000 of them, is:

Cowboys 28.1
Eagles 22.8

If you go by this system, put all your money down NOW in Vegas on the Cowboys covering the spread.


And AccuScore says in its wisdom:


The Cowboys are playing very well and the defense has only allowed one team since Week 8 to score more than 20 points. The Eagles have scored over 20 points every week since Week 9 when they lost to Dallas. The Cowboys are favored because they are holding the Eagles to 22 points per simulation. If DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek have 125+ yards and at least 1 TD between them the Eagles are projected for 30 points and win 48 percent of simulations. If the Eagles get big games out of their top 2 receivers and protect Donovan McNabb and allow under 2 sacks the Eagles have a 67 percent chance of winning.

AccuScore has powered more than 10,000 simulations for every NFL game for ESPN.com, each simulated one play at a time and minimum of 10,000 times. For more, visit AccuScore.

You know, I would...but I just can't bring myself to bet on Dallas anymore. I get physically ill if they lose a game, and if I lose my money on them as well, it's almost too much to take!

Not saying I don't think they'll cover, I do...It's just that I'd rather bet on teams I don't care about nowadays.

Speaking of which...Arizona is -2.5 over Green Bay and Cincinnati is -2.5 over the Jets. Kind of crazy considering each of the favored teams were utterly destroyed last week...I wouldn't mind betting against either of those!


I know this thread wasn't really about gambling, but I just wanted to throw in my .02...lol

Mike Jenkins is gonna become a household name after Saturday.

Jackson was on NFLN's team cam session earlier today, and his facial expression changed a little when talk of Mike Jenkins came up. Alex Flanagan asked him if he had a response to Mike Jenkins who was quoted as saying, "No team has been able to throw bombs on us, and it isn't about to start this week against Philly."

He was kinda happy at first, and then looked a bit worried and bothered when the host asked him to respond to Jenkins' statement. He said he's not going to respond to Jenkins, but that he likes his chances this Sunday.

Cool, I'll be happy if Jackson plays Sunday.

Between accuscore and Madden, I'm surprised that more people don't bet those results. i wonder how accurate that would be in a season if you picked say...three teams and accuscored them every week.
