When a team (ie, Dallas) has 9 consecutive games go over the total, sooner or later it's due to go under. And no, this is not like coin flips, because the posted totals are not fixed....they are constantly adjusted, in this case upwards. The average posted total for the first 3 games of Dallas's streak was 43-, for the next 3 it was 45, for the last 3 it's been 48. Now, just when every dimwit thinks the over is a "lock", the boys in Vegas set an impost of 51. It's gambling.....and it very well may go over again, but I will be playing the under.
