Lines dictates the game....

Whataya mean what side the books are heavy on? 

Im 100% percent certain that the money is on Dallas... Now watch the game... 

I knew Romo was gonna convert that 4th down. If Cowboys win this game it will create so much hype about Romo clutch etc. 

They also invited more money on dallas... When you see 7 go down to 6

By looks of it... dallas is not going to cover... But there's a chance dallas advances... 

"This game wont be played out square" 

Romo TD = Romo Clutch. Knew it ! 

Fumbles the ball picks it up for then to fumble the ball again. LOL. Hillarious. That specific play describes this game perfectly. 

Romo is not clutch LOL... Dallas is americas team... With that said... Dallas is lovable,, ,, i simply cannot call any primetime quarter back that doesnt make the playoffs 3-4 years in a row clutch... Romo doesnt have a back bone,,, but he is a beloved qb,, and detriot are known as the thugs... Dallas advances,, and detroit covers... Halelooyah!!!! 

Game set match lmao

SHADY????....Don't say that about the nfl....Watch the replays yourself....lol.......Curious lines this upcoming weekend for the FINAL 8....Vegas knows exactly where to set them.....Now you got Seattle,GB, N ENG and Denver at HOME.....Take your pic------ONE or two goes down OUTRIGHT!!,,,,And one looks so impressive at home that in the final 4, with the public heavily on them, they NOSEDIVE.....That's just the way it normally goes with Vegas,,,,,Watching the lines this week, then will GMO.....And that 'discount double check guy' that the public has seen in every commercial available on TV, well, that's just the point IMO, TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!......Later!!!!!!!!!!!!.......

hows about the Detroit Lions at Dallas Last Night? Great calls id say 

There's been a lot of spam on this thread as of late. That's pretty shady as well.

If I were to ever get another screen name , I'm guessing it would be called , the bubble popper. 

There's a lot of talk about the ref picking up that flag. Not like we haven't seen that before. Yet dusty nailed it dead on.  The refs did what they could. But nothing can be further from the full truth. It takes two teams to go under that total. All along they needed an under as well. Meanwhile they hit you with a back door. The refs IMO take heat off of the players. If anyone noticed. There were many questionable dropped passes. The acting was actually not bad. Little bit scripted on dez's part. Cj played it cool. The coach of Dallas made it look like he knew he had this game in the bag. The 2h line was romo -7 -6.5 how in the world would anyone lay that number on a team that looked that bad in the 1h. 

im going to go pretty heavy dallas spread and money line over green bay.

Holding regardless if romo is clutch or not he is the second half king past few years as long as he keeps printing  People can call him whatever they want 

HoldingXYZ,  there are some very suspicious lines for next weekend. Vegas setting a trap  possibly? Looks like the want  a public  bloodbath 

What do you think is suspicious about them?  You think public hammers the faves?  Very possible, especially with Denver, Pats and Seattle. Dallas always gets some action due to the scope of their fan-base.  But, another angle is that the NFL fans just saw all four road teams play, and get a win.  So their perception of them could be skewed by that some.  People tend to put too much stock a team's last game sometimes.

Last 8 years, home teams are 19-13 SU and 13-19 ATS in this round.  So definitely some dogs doing damage, and definitely games that the home team wins and doesn't cover. 

The four home teams this year are a ridiculous 30-2 SU.  One of those losses was Bills @ Pats, a game that NE completely mailed in as it was meaningless for  them.  So of the four, really only 1 legit loss all season, that was Dallas @ Seattle. 

The biggest spread is Seattle at -10.5/11.  Can Carolina keep that game close?  Their D is pretty solid, but this is not a 3rd string QB and no running game, far from it.  They'll have to play a near perfect game to stay in it, and I just don't see that out of a Cam Newton led offense, especially in that environment.  But definitely not ready to lay double digits against a solid D, but I have think Seattle moves on.

Not convinced Baltimore is good enough to go any further either. They kind of played sluggish down the stretch, but did beat Pittsburgh on the road.  But Pitt really struggled in the red zone and was settling for 3 points too much.  Not going to win many games doing that in the playoffs.  Still thinking this one over.

Colts went to Denver week 1 as 8 point dogs and lost by 7.  But keep in mind Denver was up 31-10 in the 4th quarter before two late Colt scores made it appear closer.  I think we'll see a similar game. Colts are good, but I am going to say they are a year away from a serious SB run.  So this will not be the changing of the guard game just yet.  Maybe next year we can do that in Indy and have Manning's last game ever a "bow-out" loss in his former city?  How's that for a story line?  Denver advances here.  Might lay the points, but need to look things over more before I pull the trigger.

I think Dallas has the best chance of the dogs to win.  They've had a decent season, and snuck one out yesterday against the Lions.  Teams with decent offenses can move the ball on Green Bay and score.  I think they also have two potential angles that could work in their favor.  First is the weather.  Might be really cold next week in Green Bay.  I haven't seen a forecast yet, but it's f***king nasty cold here in Chicago now, and supposed to be worse mid-to-late week.  The worse the weather is, the more in neutralizes things, and the more the variance for unexpected things to happen increases.  2nd angle is Rodger's health.  He overcame his calf issue against Detroit and got a win, but you could tell he was not nearly as mobile as normal.  And for a pocket passer, Rodgers is pretty mobile and effective running it sometimes. Actually had one of the higher yards per rush for QB's this year.  He doesn't run often, but he can be effective when he does, so any nagging injury might take that option away, or neutralize it some.  Of course, Green Bay is still plenty good enough to win this by 10+, so not sure what my play will be.

So, I still think a good chance all four teams win.  Hardy a bold prediction, but that's just what I think.  I'll give the Ravens and Cowboys the best chance at the upset.  I think we get the Brady-Manning rematch you the NFL and Networks want.  It could be their last meaningful head to head game. Although they will play again next year at some point, assuming Manning doesn't retire and both are healthy.  Then we have Green Bay going back to Seattle, where they lost week one, and more infamously lost on the Fail Mary play a couple years ago with the replacement refs.  That loss ultimately forced Green Bay into a WC game and a road game @ SF in the next round, rather than a bye and home game.  If Dallas pulls off the upset, you have good story lines there too.  Another rematch of Seattle's only home loss, and Dallas trying to avenge the Romo slip up from year's back.

Those are my initial thoughts on the games, similar to what I posted the other night, but wanted to expand on things a little after seeing Sunday's games.

Heres what im thinking:

Well guys, as far as winning a game outright, right now I think it's Dallas....But gotta watch that line.....Now, Wilson just won a Super Bowl last year....Flacco the year before....And Rodgers, Brady  Ditto....So, of the remaining, I'd say Romo has the best shot, and with them barely escaping at home, the selection makes more sense....Luck's turn will come, but the Colts still aren't on par.......Remember that the NFL lovessssssss PARITY.....This is also about hot teams going in....Hey, Seattle, G. Bay and New Eng. also fit that bill along with Dallas.........Again, being redundant, I believe ONE of those four, or an away, will come out looking unbeatable, then FLOP for the championship.....It's called the 'mind game!'.....You think one way, the line says go, and there you go, but down the sewer....Yep!!!-----I've been there and so have all of you, I'm sure!....Will keep rethinking and watching the lines.....
