11-5 last week
2-3 week before
thursday:
best team in the league, take to the road against a decent team playing at home.
adjusting the totals numbers from the cowboys sched i see a 27-23 win tonite.
adjusting the totals numbers from the vikings sched i see a 23-20 LOSS tonite.
my mean would yield cowboys 25 and vikings 21.5
so i am looking at the game totals, team totals and spread as a result.
cowboys likely to enter w/ a banged up front 7. their O will b fine though.
although one has to wonder when a poor performance will come. it always happens eventually.
until today they have faced 3 similar calibre opps on the road and won all 3 by scores of 4, 14, and 5 pts. if this holds, despite a limping front 7, then the cowboys cover -3 or possibly push.
the vikes meanwhile have not played at home vs any top rated opps. although they have played 3 winning teams recently and lost all 3 by a single posession.
will the cowboys -their O facing a strong defense, but their banged up D facing a clearly struggling viking O - continue their ATS run? theyve covered nearly every game! mind u that has to do w/ them surprising everyone early and often. last week their first ATS loss. maybe the lines r catching up now and they r no longer undervalued? tough to say
but i cant completely ignore my analysis of the likely point totals
dallas team total ovr 23.5
