Vikes -2.5 looks too easy

mkasad23 · 01-17-10, 04:20 AM

youd be surprised how many people like the cowboys

The General · 01-17-10, 04:27 AM

Cowboys are still America's team, right?

I like the Cowboys myself so fade away would be my suggestion.

But, if they play as they have recently, thay are tough.

I would like to see Favre win as I predicted the Vikings to be in the SB vs New England.

It is said that this is the most anticipated match-up of the weekend so I am looking forward to it.

gonna be agood game

tonyhomo · 01-17-10, 04:56 AM

only reason you should bet the cowboys is if you don'T like money

Timmay · 01-17-10, 04:58 AM

I like the Vikes.

I only have Bodog though giving -3 +105 and I really want them on the money line. Hope they win by more than 3 or just push

Go Vikes. This was the first game I put $ on this week. I think Dallas is going to be exposed today. Williams boys are going to shut down any running game and Jared Allen is going to make Adams look old, fat and slow.

Stinks that I'm pulling for MN today as I'm a Bears fan and hate all things Vikings.

Expose what?

Dallas will put a tight end on Allen's side or chip with a running back and Dallas WILL run the ball on this defense.

Your thinking is flawed.

It's obvious by your username that you put a lot of thought and analysis into that statement.

I've seen twice the people on the Cowboys as the Vikings. Out of about 20 or so "experts" the only two I've seen that like the Vikings are Dan Marino and Andy Harmon. Everyone points to Demarcus Ware as being the difference maker when Jared Allen vs. Flozell the hotel Adams is an even bigger mismatch.

BubbleBobble · 01-17-10, 09:55 AM

Don't be fooled by Lakersquares BS...the Cowboys are the slightly better team, all you buy with -2.5/3 is homefield advantage...

Look at post #8.

Allen will be schemed for.

Dallas has pressure from the middle (Ratliff) and both sides (Ware, Spencer) without bringing extra people.

Ummm, lakerboy is on the 'Boys. Must read the post more clearly.

BigdaddyQH · 01-17-10, 10:24 AM

This is the only game where the visiting team has a chance at an upset, but it will not happen. Bottom line. Farve and the Vikes are the better team. Dallas will not be able to run the ball, and Romo will not out play Farve. It should be the closest of the 4 games, but after yesterday's two routs, that is not really saying much.

jjgold · 01-17-10, 10:28 AM

Minny rested is the best edge here and undefeated at home

marabdl86 · 01-17-10, 10:29 AM

^^ better team, since getting whooped by the cards the vikings have only managed wins against a bad bengals and giants team. fact is the vikings are one dimensional, you stop Peterson, and that whole offense goes down the drain. I think Dallas D is too fast for Farve.

Just to burst your bubble...lines from theGreek:

Dallas Cowboys -120 304 New Orleans Saints -3½ +100

Minnesota Vikings 304 New Orleans Saints -4½

Dallas IS the slightly better team right now...jeezus, Favre can be taken out by one hit prolly the old man...

Bootylicious · 01-17-10, 10:34 AM

Cowboys win by 10+

Straight Cash · 01-17-10, 10:37 AM

The fact that so many teams like the Cowboys makes me lean toward the Vikings. But lately Favre has sucked in the second half of the season...

thechaoz · 01-17-10, 10:43 AM

No play for me here. Viking burned me against the terrible bears and I have no faith in the Cowboys in big games. The eagles weren't a big game as it was just a wild card game and half their defense was injured, on top of just not being as talented on the offensive side of the ball.

alukk · 01-17-10, 10:47 AM

yea it does look to easy,

daneblazer · 01-17-10, 10:47 AM

fwiw, Pat Williams was out against the Bears

You couldn't be more wrong, you could try, but you would not be successful.

Who was injured? Their center was the only starter out...and Dallas had their right tackle out as well.

Both Eagles games against Dallas were big games...the first was for HOME FIELD AND A BYE and the second was, well...the playoffs, enough said.

The Eagles were considered a great, explosive team (2nd in league in scoring behind the Saints, "Oh how can the Cowboys stop DeSean Jackson?") before they got their ass handed to them twice in a week.

seaborneq · 01-17-10, 10:52 AM

Dallas is gaining a lot of steam. I would not be surprised if it is a pickem by game time.

SamsNCharge99 · 01-17-10, 10:53 AM

COWBOYS BABY!!!

DO WORK Boys

krazey47409 · 01-17-10, 10:55 AM

vikes should be good but farve is unpredictable he could throw four picks and play like a 40 year old man in the playoffs especially vs the cowboys killer D but i like viks

bradleysnyder · 01-17-10, 10:57 AM

could not agree more.i think romo wants to see brett go out with a superbowl win.go vikings

And New Orleans, who was undefeated period, until they got D'ed up on by Dallas

linedrivr · 01-17-10, 11:08 AM

I think the difference in this game will be the QB play. Romo has feet and can move to avoid pressure to make things happen. Favre and his old legs will stand back there like a statue and either take the sack or throw up errant balls which could lead to turnovers. lets not forget his history of playing cowboy defenses either. some of his worst games came against the cowboys.

If I were forced to put money on this game, i'm leaning on Romo and the boys in this matchup.

with this being said, it's a pass for me. better value in the late game. Chargers take that one by 14+. the Jets may not score more than the Ravens did last night.

I'm soooo not a cowboy fan but Favre will be watching the games after this
