Does anyone find the line movement a bit funny when compared to the consensus?  The line opened at -5 Dallas and quickly went down to -4 Dal.  During this time the consensus was 54% Dal to 46% Balt.  Now the consensus is 59% Dal. and 41% Balt. and the line as not moved???

Is Dallas a trap?  I really like Dallas here???

There is a reason why announcers are now gushing about the Dallas pass rush. Plus with all of the tension between Romo, Owens, Whitten and Co...when has that really affected winning in the reg season?  Ex. look at the Lakers with Kobe and Shaq....nuff said.
 
 
 
Dallas is in do or die mode with a new weapon.  Tashard "Taster's" Choice. We know Romo is good for a pick (as usual), but can Joe Flacco handle that stout Dallas D?  Eli Manning couldn't...and I really don't have faith in a rookie against Dware and Co.  PLus Dallas is at home.   Dallas has lost only one game at home this year.....ONE.  I've never in my life heard so much trash directed at a team that has lost only 1 game at home with 2 games remaining in the NFL.  If most teams in the NFL had the same record that Dallas does right now and had only 1 home loss at this point in the season the fans would be talking nothing short of Conf Title game or SB.  Instead Dallas fans have been led to believe their team probably won't make the playoffs when in reality Dallas controls their own destiny as of tod. Overall, Dallas is normally a hard team to handicap because they have always been inconsistent on ATS this decade. They blow out teams they shouldn't (ala Giants....no disrespect Spyweb) and lose to teams they shouldn't to either like the Rams. I'm not as impressed with Balitmore knowing they haven't beaten too many good teams on the road, the only one being Miami.  I have to say Dallas to win straight up with Confidence..but I'm not sold on Dallas covering.  I'm thinking Dallas definately by 4.....just not sure -4.5.  If anything I would hedge this one.
 
Dallas -4.5 (risky) and the under.    Definately not a better's dream.    

 FADE JOB here for sure folks! Count it!!!

Baltimore Ravens -4

Lots of love for DALLAS all over this board, and for good reason !  At home against a rookie QB and a stiff D, "BOYS" cover and I'll bet the under.

M. Barber is hurting w/ the foot/toe condition and may not even play which says that now their running game is suspect for this challenge. The Ravens pass - D is capable of shutting down anything Romo throws its way. Ravens will run which will open the passing channels for Flacco for another conservative showing to stay in touch of spread and possibly winning outright.

So, let's say this hypothetical "guy you went to school with who wore the Cowboys jacket & bet the Cowboys every game" bet $1,000 dollars on every one of those games. Wouldn't that mean he's $3,000 "in the black" right now????


You might want to start doing some research before you start spouting off your nonsense.......


NO ASSHOLE YOU WOULD BE DOWN AT LEAST  $1500.00 FROM THE VIG...HOW ABOUT YOU DO THE MATH.... DROP OUT MORON...

I cant wait to see all these idiots taking Baltimore to lose their money.  Balt offense is not going to keep up with dallas.  Last game ever at texas stadium...dallas's OFFENSE will dominate this game.  Look for a huge game for TO and Witten, Roy williams gets involved.  I have been on a 27-5 run the past 4 weeks...up a ton...I bet 1500 on dallas to beat the Giants...I won that won.  I am taking Dallas again at home...warm weather, fast offense...this may be the easiest game in the past 3 weeks for Dallas...27-9...maybe even 27-16 Dallas cause baltimore will score a TD when it doesnt matter.  Take my advice...Right now, its Dallas -3.5 on the line....If you want to win easy, 7 pt teaser Dallas +3.5 or maybe 7 by game time and eagles +1.5 vs Washington.  Or 10 pt teaser, Dallas + 6.5, Eagles +4.5, and over/under on the dallas game...or take South FLorida -2 with that teaser tomorrow at 4 EST. 

Pick of the Week  Dallas -3.5

by the way, Dallas is 9-0 in the last 9 games vs a QB how has not had a full season under his belt.  Rookie QB coming into dallas with their D playing like the best in the NFL...more sacks for Dallas again like they did vs the Giants.  Troy Smith may have to come in for Balt if Flacco gets hurt.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off - the profanity is not necessary, we're all adults here, right?

Secondly - if you would have scrolled down just 5 more quotes below this particular one of mine that you quoted - you would see my response to your eloquently stated "Vig" question. But now since it's obvious you didn't, and you've obviously never been to a real Vegas casino sportsbook before - I'll explain it to you.

As long as you're over 21, you can walk into any Vegas casino with a sportsbook and pretty much bet any "sports - related" thing you want. Let's say for example you want to bet $100 on the Dallas Cowboys this week - you first look at the tote board behind the sportsbook cashier (or you could ask for help in placing your bet from him / her), and see what the line or "spread" is. Let's say it's minus 4 points. You then say to the cashier, "I'd like the Dallas Cowboys", then hand the cashier $100.00. In return you will receive a bar coded ticket that may read something like {Dallas -4 / $100.00 to win $200.00} That is the extent of your purchase. If you win - you return and collect $200.00 - if you lose, then you've lost $100.00 - That's it. No "Vig" no nothing.

There, let me know if you require any further information......

You know what????????? Scratch all that - I forgot it pays 10/11 for a straight bet at the casino I use - HA!!!!!!! So I guess instead of $3,000, you'd be  $2,700 in the black - sorry - I apologize.........

Baltimore's defense is great at home and has a drop off on the road.  Their offense is shit.  Cowboys will take the Ravens out on the last game at Texas Stadium.  


This Dallas D is the same one NY ran over for 200 yards. Ravens average 141 rushing. Dallas leads the NFL in penalties with 105.

The Ravens defense: total defense #2, passing defense #2, rushing defense #3.

Have you taken a look at the East coast? Looks like Dallas has another cold east coast game in Philly. I kind of hope Dallas' playoff hopes depend on the Eagle game, that is if Ravens don't crush them first. Stop the Hillbilly nation!
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

A crucial inter-conference matchup takes place in Dallas when the 9-5 Ravens visit the 9-5 Cowboys with Wildcard hopes on the line. The Ravens have really exerted themselves on the defensive side of the ball as they make their playoff run. This is a team that has held 10 of 14 opponents on the season to an amazing 13 points or less. They have allowed a total of just three TDs in their last four games. And one of those was a controversial game-ending TD by Pittsburgh, who they otherwise held out of the end zone the entire game. The defense has allowed just two QBs to throw for more than one TD pass against them the entire season. In the last five weeks they have allowed just four TD passes while they have generated eight INTs. They have only allowed one QB since mid-October to pass for 250+ yards, and in that game Sage Rosenfels also threw four INTs. There has not been a single QB to reach the 300-yard mark on the Ravens the entire season. Why so much focus on QBs? Because as Romo goes, so do the Cowboys. If Romo struggles in this game, it will be hard for Dallas to win. It hasn't been just the defense for Baltimore as Joe Flacco has stabilized what was prior to this season, a futile offense without a leader taking snaps. Flacco has led the offense to 27.4 points per game average in his last nine games. Tony Romo is less than 100% and will have his hands full throwing in unfavorable down and distance situations as I don't think the Cowboys will be moving the chains on the ground against the #1 run-stop unit. The Dallas defense has stepped up and over the last two games, holding Pittsburgh and the Giants running back tandems to 119 yards on 34 carries. The Cowboys are coming off two straight games where they had to bring it mentally, physically, and emotionally, and that energy may have peaked last week against the Giants. The Dallas secondary is banged up, but the high emotional peak the last two weeks has hidden that fact. And to their credit, they stepped up and won games. But can they do it for a third consecutive week? As pointed out, the Ravens defense has done it all season long, and if they hold Dallas down like they have everyone else over the last four weeks then this should be aclose game. Getting more than a FG in this one looms very large, especially in a game that the Ravens truly have a good chance of winning. I'll back the Ravens with the points here.

Dude why do you insist on posting such BS, the Gaymen ran for 72 yards last week against Dallas, why do you post things from 8-9 games ago. You should be worrying about your team and it's 2 soon to 3 game losing streak. If the Giants beta the Ravens then the Cowboys should be able to do the same thing.
