Detroit at Dallas (10/02/2011)

cowboys small play come folks, lions money is pouring in and the lines moves up for dallas at -2............

this logic is terrible, imho.  I know the score doesn't show it, but the lions really controlled the game against the bucs and just let up a bit late, which is just as much a byproduct of josh freeman's clutch crunch time status. 

they MANHANDLED the chiefs.  what more could they have done to them to earn your respect?  they did exactly what any elite level team would, not saying they're THAT good, but give them credit for doing exactly what they should have here and then some.

vikes are a much better team than they have played and have jumped on everyone, not to mentino the lions had a terrible history SU/ATS in minny, so getting a late gritty victory like that was again, what the good teams do.

cowboys have bad o-line problems and the lions d-line is about as good as it gets.  cowboys defense has been great against the run, but the lions aren't really looking to run with matt stafford throwing dimes to calvin johnson and a stable of playmakers around them, the run is what keeps teams honest and the cowboys secondary is not good.  someone said they are 12th here... against mark sanchez, rex grossman, and alex smith?  they'd be better than 12th at this point if they were even as good as 12th over a full season of statistics. 

the books will always get cowboys money as they are a huge public team, but there's a reason the lions are catching only 1 and not 3.  Go ahead and pop the cowboys and find out.

DET +1.5 -105

some heavy money came in on the boys to cause the movement.  if the books thought the cowboys were as good as the lions, they would have opened as 3 point favs.  anything short of that is reactionary movement or meaningless at best.

not the liking the over as much anymore...

Over their past nine games, the Cowboys have won or lost by a field goal every time. It's the longest such streak in NFL history — by three, of course.

thank u wang...for supplying us with someing that hasn't been consistent on here I can vouche for wang. he's called alot of games on here.    Wang has even called bs on me a few times and vice versa.  having said that...

 which is NFL LOGIC.        

Dallas is MEDIOCRE.  There is no other way to say it.   I know they are 2-1, but it's a shaky 2-1.     Dallas's defense is actually pretty pretty good.  in other words..Dallas has a SUPERBOWL defense....but a half azz offense.   Romo wouldn't be fighting (literally)  for his life each week if his Oline was at least above average.  If dallas doesn't get their **** together this week they are going to go from mediocre to sucking.     take it from me a DIEHARD dallas fan.  Dallas is very close to imploding....I wouldn't be shocked to see them barely make the playoffs...if at all.

These words will be prophetic in week 15

 

 

A healthy Romo probably would tear apart detroit. But this is not the case.

All it takes is one sack from the stellar Detroit defense to blow up his already injured lung/rib.

i generally HATE following the crowd, but give me Detroit!

That Dallas line is gonna get Romo killed

That Dallas line is gonna get Romo killed

Under all the way!!!

Cowboys O-Line and receivers are young and very inexperienced. However, their defense will keep Stafford at bay for a while. Detroit wins but in a low scoring game.

dallas suck penises.  Therefore, the lions will chew the shit out of them tomorrow.  Hear me loud and clear! boys will never be boys.

Dallas D will dominate Detroit. If you watched the Minny game Detroit didn't even score in the 1st half... that's what you will see here. Only difference is Romo is actually smart and can control the time while they are in the lead.. This will be close but Dallas D will put pressure on Stafford before Calvin can Get open.... The Detroid O line sucks....worse than Dallas O line...

These aren’t the same old Lions we’ve gotten used to in recent years. Rallying from a 20-0 deficit to win at Minnesota is the latest indicator that the “new” Detroit means business. And, even if Tony Romo is in the lineup, his aching rib makes an inviting target for Ndamukong Suh & Co., which held Adrian Peterson to only 5 YR in the 2nd half last week. With some of Romo’s weapons (including WR Miles Austin) hurting as well, prefer Matthew Stafford (another 378 YP last week; played HS ball in Dallas) to fire the deciding shots.

 

One MIGHT think the “Over” is worth a look with the Lions “over” 13-5-2 last 20 and Dallas “over” 15-3 last 18 prior to Skins. BUT….I tend to agree with dddevin69. I had the Skins and the Over in the Boys/Skins game and they tie the record {9} for field goals made in a game. Under for me on this one.

 

Detroit 27 – Dallas 16

Lions ML and the Under

I am a Cowboys fan to the core.. I have been backing both team since beginning of the season especially Detroit.. the Lions as I see it are one of the most improved football teams in all of the NFL this season and its quite evident that getting the last 4 years of top draft picks has really paid off LOL.. On that note I would love Stafford to have a huge game considering he his my starting QB in my big money league but lets be serious here!! Cowboys have one of the best defense in the NFL they lead the league in sacks.. top 10 in first down allowed.. Top 5 yards allowed per game and allowed per play holding teaams to less than 300 yrds per game and less than 5 per play on avg.. This team is in your face Demarcus Ware is a beast he's gonna be all over Stafford I am looking at alot of 3rd and longs.. YES Detroit has some serious offensive weapons but they dont have the ability to pound the ball in on Dallas noone has I don't see them doing it. There gonna be all over Megatron and Pettigrew and Burleson are realy gonna have to step things up alot with CJ being covered. I see Romo getting in the zone he's stepping up big time this year showing great leadership skills handling all the mistakes they made last game they are gonna sit down review the tapes and handle business. As bad as they played they still came out on top and handled business. Felix Jones has been doing WORK first year as premier back and he is doing his thing. They have one of the best offensive core WR in the business and their TE isn't to shabby either.  Cowboys at home is they play you have about 60% of betting public all on the lions and reverse line movement has Cowboys line up to -2.5.. Be smart and take the Boys at home to give Detroit their first L of the year on me.. 

cowboys blow out

Cowboys

Dallas line is spotty at best, Romo will be taking his share of hits this year. lockout killed new o line development for all teams

Over 46

One of my favorite betting angles is "teams that find ways to win".

 

WTF?!?!?!

Anyways - just like last week, another undeserving "undefeated" team will fall to the hands of America's Team.........

How's this for a +200 payout teaser:

Cowboys +5.5

49ers +16.5

Bengals +11

Chiefs +11

Good luck everybody 

LET'S GO BOYZ  -2.5

You hit Faz,,,,,,this game depends on the Dallas D!!

LOL at some threads- every yr, I can always count on the D- Town hate!!
