    Sorry Carolina Backers...
    Sorry Carolina backers, Dallas is the play tonight. The line is already down to -8 and I am taking it. First of all, both of these teams need a win. I am not giving into the argument that Carolina does not want to avoid going 0-3 for the first time since 98’ or something because Dallas also doesn’t want to loose 2 games at home, so that argument is void. Dallas just almost beat one of the best teams in the League, but lost due to a last minute field goal and Romo threw a ridiculous amount of interceptions and they almost still won the game. While Romo is a choke artist, he career is on the line and I look for him to have a great game picking apart Carolina’s weak secondary. I also heard the Steve Smith argument about how he shows up on primetime, but he is a non factor if Delhomme can’t get him the ball. It’s not like I am going to be betting the house on this game, it only warrants a small play on Dallas. The bottom line is that while neither of these teams have looked that good this year, Dallas is still the better team even without Barber. If you guys have any comments I am happy to hear them but GL to everyone.

    They are the better team..........don't let Dallas fool ya.........(or the first two weeks of the season for that matter).

    I can't wait to see Philly play Dallas.

      We'll see I suppose. Early trend is the favorites not showing up on the big national tv games (snf/mnf). They are 2-4 ATS with 2 losses SU. Both wins came within a combined 2.5 points of the spread, so I'm going with that, plus the short week looking ahead for Dallas and the fact that Carolina absolutely HAS to win this game going into their bye or basically they are out of the playoffs (2-78 when going 0-3).

        Of course Dallas are favoured at home. But with 8/8.5 points? I think it's a lot of points against a talented team as the Panthers!

        Great to some different insights on the game though!

          I just am not going to count Romo out, at least not yet. Wade Phillips is a good coach and I really think Romo has something to prove since TO is now gone. After watching Atlanta against the Pats this weekend, I am not impressed. This is not the playoffs and Romo chokes in the playoffs not the regular season. You guys do bring up good points too, and 8-8.5 points is a lot, but I got to go with my gut. It is either a Romo induced 10-20 blowout or a close one with Panthers winning on a last second field goal off a Romo pick. Only time will tell.

              you need to learn how to read the lines better..

              Car started at +10, then +9, now +8.. what is happening here???

              it is getting bet DOWN..

              dallas has to cover less because the books are getting too much action on carolina..

              not saying this wins 100%, but knowing whats happening gives ya a better chance to make a correct pick.

              now if you want to "go Against the Public", that is a fair way to play as well.. but i believe the public is on DALLAS..

              good luck with your play!

                  The Cowboys have won seven straight regular season games over the Panthers since losing the first meeting in 1997. In the last matchup Dec. 22, 2007, Romo threw for 257 yards and a touchdown in a 23-13 victory.

                  Cowboys QB Tony Romo must limit his mistakes, but should find success against Carolina's weak pass defense. Tony Romo has to bounce back, or the crowd could turn on him. Even without Marion Barber, the Cowboys will be able to run the ball at the Panthers.

                  However, the Panthers are 0-2 and desperate. They played well at Atlanta last week, but came up short. Carolina's two-headed monster of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart began to emerge as they combined for 144 yards on 25 carries last week. But, the
                  Panthers' rushing attack could struggle against a Cowboys defense that held the Giants to 97 rushing yards on 26 carries. So, Carolina will have to throw it to win or even keep it close. The Cowboys have issues in their secondary, which could mean big plays for Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith. They may keep it close as some have suggested.

                  I think this will be a win for the Dallas COWBOYS. In one of my parlays I took them on the moneyline and feel very confident. The point spread is -8.5 to -9.5. Carolina supporters taking the points may be OK--but I believe that Tony Romo has some pride and will limit his turnovers this time around and we could have a blow-out by the COWBOYS!

                  I think the score will be somewhere in the range of Dallas 28 Carolina 21. If you do not take Dallas COWBOYS ML then try to buy it down to -6.5.

                  On the OVER I would buy points there too. Currently it is 48 at Sportsbook.com. In one parlay I bought it down to 45.

                  Good Luck

                          Trends from many years past are useless. Half-ass capping is just as useless.

                              I meant I bought 2 points and brought the line down to -6 on bookmaker. Its nice to be right once in a while.
