Finally the media is following the Cowboy's success. 3-1 start and everything seems to be going smoothly in Dallas. Line only opened at -4 and has been hit up to -6. Public perception is heavily favouring the Cowboys. Coming off a blowout primetime victory of the Saints.....it seems way too easy. I love this Texans D, especially compared to the Saints who looked invisible out there. Take the pts in this game. It has a FG game written all over it.
Dallas wins by 3, I concur Dwayne.......
I would agree to go against the Cowboys this week, until I saw they were playing the Texans! Texans have a good D at home, but not so good on the road. But the main reason to go against the Texans is Ryan Fitzpatrick! He should not be a starting QB in the NFL. He was missing throws left and right last week. That line move from 4 to 6 was not all square public money. Tease Dallas down 6 points with GB, Detroit, Denver or SD. Or add 6.5 points to Baltimore.
HOU does have IND coming thursday and that game is way more important. They can afford to lose to DAL as long as they beat IND.
I am more of a situational handicapper and this game falls into a situation I like to bet. Last week Dallas was a 3 point dog and won outright. This week they are made a 6 point (seen 6.5 in some places) fav...that is a 9 point difference in one week. Any time I see this big of a discrepancy in lines from week to week, I take notice. Houston is not a bad team and has a good defense. Someone mentioned that their rush d wasn't good. Well, that means to me a low scoring clock eating game by running the ball a lot by Dallas. Plus. Dallas has been a dog in three of their games and only a fav of 1.5 points...this is the most points they are giving to date. Since the public always overreacts to last week's results, I feel that the lines makers are taking advantage of the public overreaction by pumping the points up on Dallas. One last point...I like to look at Pinnacle's line movement because they tend to let you know who they want or don't want you to bet on. They opened the line at Dallas -4 -103. Houston was +4 -107. To me the opening line is asking for Dallas money.
I was on Dallas last week and cashed. I will be on Houston + the points this week...can we get +7 ??

This line will move to 7. I am a huge Cowboys fan and I totally expect Houston to have a chance to win this game straight up. Texans defense creates havoc and can score. Dallas's secondary is still weak and now LB core is weaker because Bruce Carter will not play sunday. The only way Dallas covers this game is if Fitz has one of his meltdowns and turns the ball over a ton.
