Cowboys and Pats?

[Jman20427]

I cant believe these lines right now. Boys +3 and Pats -5? I would surely tease that and would feel very confident about the outcome. Cowboys getting hot, and the PATS with a must win. It sucks that these lines are going to be no where near that.


But theres something about betting on the Cowboys and Pats that seems very..."too good to be true"

besides those two, the Bear game looks nice!

I'm a huge Cowboys fan and have watched every one of their games, but I won't be putting any $$$ on them this week.

I'm still not a believer of Romo. He's certainly better than the alternatives (Johnson/Bollinger), but he still doesn't perform well in BIG games. This week is as big as they get. Romo hasn't really been tested against a GOOD team all year. The biggest games they've played with Romo at QB were Washington (x 2) and Philadelphia...and the largest margin of victory was 4.

Now, they're playing a better team in the form of Pittsburgh AND they're playing at Pittsburgh...a team with the #1 defense in the NFL.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think Big Ben picks our secondary apart and wins easily at home. 31-17. [Again, I hope I'm wrong...sincerely]

The more I think about this game, the more I think the line is terrible; the Steelers should be 7-8 point favorites, but are only 3 because Dallas is "America's Team" & they're coming off 3 wins against less-stellar teams.

The last challenge the 'Boys had was against the Giants in NY and they lost by 3 TD's...I wouldn't be surprised to see something similar here.

Am I the only person who just can't bring themselves to bet AGAINST their own team though? FWIW, I never bet on them unless I LOVE them, either...but I'm thinking this line is too easy.

why on earth would you bet against the Steelers, especially when they're at home?

They haven't been a good home team this year. Lost last 3 ATS at home.

If ware plays, which I think he will, I see Ben having pressure all day. It will turn into a game whoever makes the least amount of mistakes wins. Who can avoid the sack leaders more Romo ( Harrison, Woodley ) or Big Ben ( Ware, Ratliff ).


Should be a really good football game:aktion033

pittsburgh gives up roughly 14 points a game, that doesn't bode well for the cowboys who rely heavily on scoring alot of points to win games. nonetheless it should be an entertaining tilt:toast:

really think Dallas has the o-line and weapons to expose pitt's secondary

they should win su.

I respectfully agree with FeartheRaven.

 

[spooze]

why is the pats game pulled. its pulled on my local site and bodog. what did i miss

 

[TuArmedMan]

I think it was because of the announced injury of Hasselback

 

[spooze]

hasselback or cassel? my friend was telling me cassel at the bar. but we were drunk. i put my pats bet in early at 4.5 hopefully its good.

No way Pittsburgh is a better team than Dallas. If you're going by talent Dallas has the most talented roster in the NFL and I don't see how you can make an argument for anyone else. Injuries have hurt them this year though. This will be a tough game though. They have the better team, but playing @ Pittsburgh will be tough. I'd be very impressed if they won this game. But I would agree with feartheraven in the fact that Dallas has the weapons to expose Pittsburgh and win this game.

Leans to Dallas and the under in that game. Pittsburgh shouldn't score that often, maybe 17-20 max.

As for the other game, you have to remember they are on the road. This line says the Pats would be about 10/11 point favorites at home vs the Seahawks, which looks right to me. NE has a much more talented team and are in a must win situation, but Seattle still has some decent players and are capable of keeping this game close. Not to mention Seattle is a very tough place to play. Very, very small lean to Seattle there.

I am on the Pats pretty good myself, but Dallas is playing in an AFC NFC statement game. Either team could try and win by a nice margin, or the team that is losing can "chase" and end up losing by more than 10.

Don't bet your life on that teaser. The Patriots on would also cross 0 and you really lose value there.

Hasselback , OF left tackle Walter Jones are doubtful. Gaurd Mike Wahle went on injured reserve friday. With the O-line decimated by injury , Wallis will be running for his life sunday.

Looks like the sea birds are tanking the rest of the season. The line will climb well over a TD by gametime.
