why are the Washington Redskins +3.5 at Dallas!?

[Jeep_Life 42]

line seems way off to me... Dez going to the IR now..Washington always plays Dallas very tough down there too!....

[Justfollow]

Because they are already in the playoffs with nothing to play for. Dallas still needs to play for their freaking jobs.

[Manny0825]

Washington coach said he was going to rest his players. So most likely reed,mcousins, jackson, and garcon dont play.

I don't think they will sit the entire game..gruden wants to end season on a 4 game win streak!

You can think whatever you want, but if Gruden is saying that he'll rest his starters I'm not sure it matters what you think.

With that said, I don't know that an unmotivated Cowboys squad is gonna beat Washington's backups by four points, especially at home where they're abysmal as favorites.

a lot of money coming in on the Redskins too...

Shouldn't Jerry Jones fire them if they win? As a Dallas fan, I want them losing this game, no question. Garrett's keeping his job regardless, Marinelli should keep his job anyway...Linehan could be the only coach in trouble.

[Albabbie]

Too many unknowns to bet this game IMO. If I were to bet it id take the Cowboys though. A bunch of players fighting for their jobs at home is a better angle than a slightly above average team sitting all their starters on a road game that is utterly meaningless.

[Jeep_Life 42]

I would imagine the Redskins wanting to go into the playoffs with some type of momentum, I don't expect them to come out flat, yes the game means nothing to both teams but I would expect the Skins to come out playing hard especially against their rivals!

umm no. Cowboys is the play. Jerry cares about the fans.
That Cowboy uniform still stands for something.

[JayDr3am]

redskins has so much value in this one.. this will be a replay of how last Saturday went. redskins were underdogs and beat the shit out the eagles. redskin backers, don't be scared to take'em back to back weeks!! its ok!!

I backed them big time Sunday, hoping for them to cash!

A franchise on the downhill!

[Gonz312]

Colt McCoy went into Dallas and won against an undefeated (at the time) Cowboy team last year, can't see how they don't come out with a W sunday no matter who is behind center. The biggie would be if Trent Williams sits since he has been banged up, than that o-line really becomes horrid.

[goldust]

If McCoy's starting, he'll be super motivated to win in his home state again (I think it's where he's from). The Cowboys are just putrid this year...do NOT give 4 points with them.

Yea, but thats with all the starters, playoffs on the line. Now theyre gauramteed in. Jordan reed and desean jackson have been hurt all season. I see them sitting the entire game. I can see cousins and garcon getting some early snaps in, but i think the backups will take over. I wouldnt touch this game though. Too much stuff going on.

[Jeep_Life 42]

Washington Redskins +4 now...

[LT Profits]

Meaningless game, equivalent to betting a preseason game.

yeah a lot of my picks will be a gametime decision cause I still don't have a good read on whos sitting and whos starting etc

I second this

only smart comment in here

[terrortwylight]

Allow me to assure you guys that the only thing any of these players are going to give a shit about in this game is staying healthy. No one cares what the Cowboys uniform stands for in a week 17 game with no incentive for either team. They're just going to be trying not to get hurt.

This happens every year in week 17! Don't bet on this horseshit! We've seen this a bunch of times.

Yep. Of all the games, this game features the most key players in street clothes. Worse than a preseason game.

Not saying Redskins aren't the play, but that's a completely different scenario. Last week they were playing for the division, this week they're literally playing for nothing

[beerman2619]

Cowboys already beat washington this season with this same bucking crappy team in wash. Let's not get carried away it's the redskins. Not a great team.

[Microbetter]

So the under would be the play? Back ups not going to score 40pts total?

disagree.
Cowboys and fans want a morale boost.

Fans might not even show up for this game. Cowboys fans tune out when they aren't winning.

[johnnyvegas13]

i took redskins 1st half and full gm

I suppose we've been tuned out for over 20 years then.

Lol, sad but true. Last year was decent, if Romo comes back strong next year they can still be contenders.

[Jeep_Life 42]

I wagered on the Redskins based on the fact that I don't see them going cold into the playoffs...BOL to everyone!

[Albabbie]

Gruden must have money on the game, all the Skins starters are in. Grats to all the Washington bettors.
