Am taking my weekly bets and cant understand this. From the look of it, looks like Vegas wants Cowboys money.

Some weird officiating is going to cost us this game and colts cover this.

Similar to Gonzaga line yesterday where were underdogs by 3 pts. Public took Gonzaga big and lost. Expecting the same today.

I am taking colts -3. Have to play the opposite of what Vegas wants us to get sucked into. Though we have better defense and TY Hilton is game time decision and hasnt practiced.
 
the longer a winning streak goes the harder it is to keep going. I wouldn’t mind loosing today to get an L outta their system.

If ty doesnt play then lucks only option is ebron as those other WR's wouldnt start for the worse teams in the league.

Luck locks on to ebron like wintz to ertz. I dont see Dallas losing to indy unless refs. Their running game sucks and I doubt they even crack 60 yards on us.

Byron has faced better #1 wr's than ty, and I doubt dallas let ebron run all over them after stonewalling ertz who imo is the best TE this year.

We should win but at the same time this could be one of the worse officiated games of the year.

Indy is at home. You get 3 points at home, so it would be a pickem’ at a neutral site.

Gonzaga is #1 in ncaab and was 3 pt underdog. Lot of ppl lost money on thrm yesterdy. Because the bets seemed to br too good to be true. Similar today with us.
 
I have no issues with the spread. I think the Cowboys win, but take a step back and look from the national perspective. The Colts have looked really good, outside of laying an egg against Jacksonville. 6-1 over the last 7 games. Andrew Luck seems to be back to form. And Eberflus has some that defense playing very well, with some great young talent, including a LB that may challenge LVE for ROY.

I agree. Both Jimmy and Landry would leads this Team in playoffs winning out and the SuperBowl. If Garret again plays not to lose rather than dominate a win, I will barff

I'm hoping we clean that stuff up and get better as the games go forward. Because the law of averages say we're not going to end up on top of every close game.
 
Its a fair point spread. Anything between +/- 5 points is fair for these two teams. Dallas would probably be a 4-4.5 favorite if playing at home.
 
Of course, we all know that the home team gets a 3-point credit by way of the home-field advantage. Other than that, the Colts are facing a do-or-die type of situation whereby they need this win to remain in contention for the playoffs, as I understand it. The Cowboys are in much less of a bind to win their last two games, being very likely the favorite in those matchups. That'll make it tough.

I'm expecting a very competitive and a hard fought game in that contest. Indy has won six out of their last seven games with Andrew Luck being hot as a pistol. He's getting excellent protection from his OL lately, also.

Unfortunately, we'll be missing the services of Zack Martin, our All Pro left guard, with our rookie OG, Connor Williams replacing him at that spot. He'll be returning from a recent knee surgery, which I believe was a scope procedure. All in all, I'm thinking we'll likely have our hands full, although, I'm thinking Indy will, as well. Enjoy.

Don't try to look too deeply into this. Vegas doesn't give a damn which team is better. Ideally they want the exact same amount of bets on each team and will move the line in order to achieve that goal.

This. That way they can't lose money and just get the commission money. At least that's how I always thought it worked.

People try to act like it's all a conspiracy and that the games are rigged. If that was the case, their would be all kinds of players, former and current, coming out to tell their stories of what they have heard of the system being rigged.

It's Frank Reich vs Jason Garrett. Does that help you understand?

Perhaps you're words,,, truthful & of wisdom,,, are spoken with the iron tounge of thunderpimp#91 knowledge,,, er,,, as concerning that Jacksonville ' shut-out' outlier,just casually casted off over the left shoulder of foresight beyond that of the War Camps Fires light.o_O

We'd be favored by 7 if Garrett wasn't our HC
It is the 'crap HC' factor

Colts playing really well after beginning the season 1-5. Plus they have more at stake today than the Cowboys to stay alive in playoff race.

Cowboys can get a win in any of the 3 final games to clinch the division or a loss in any of them by Skins or Eagles.

This is a game I’ll stay away from and probably take the over.

But assuming Egirls lose to Rams tonite and Skins continue their slide we should wrap up division today regardless.
