Get on this joke of a line Saturday Night...

Dallas Cowboys -4 +102
vs Baltimore

Can you imagine what Joe Flacco's stats looks like against a Dallas defense that's played exceptionally well lately, not just well, exceptionally well.

Newman might pick him off twice, and Baltimore isn't going to pound the rock either. Dallas will have some 3 and outs early but look for them to pull away in a game that, other than the scoreboard for a quarter or two, won't really be all that close.

But the Ravens defense can win the game without their offense. I can easily see Ray Lewis ending Romo's season and the Ravens defense will have a great day. Line has already moved from +5 to +4 and dropping fast.

There is not a chance this line closes at less than 4.

-4 -110 at Pinnacle right now and on the way up.

Will be a good one. I'm a little annoyed the game doesn't show up on my TV listings even though I live in Texas. I don't have NFL Network but what the heck, should be local.

Do you get southwest sports chanell?

Dallas wins this game going away

[SBR Lou]

Not sure but offhand I don't think so. NFL is usually on 102, 105, and 115 something like that (excluding ESPN). Basically the local Fox, local Cbs, and NBC. None of those are showing, at least now, that the game will be broadcast.

While I don't live in the Dallas area, the game should be statewide IMO and could very well be, but right now it doesn't look to be in the cards for Time Warner.

How do you like Texas compared to the N.East?

Baltimore is a play for me here. I doubt the Cowboys could possibly match the defensive intensity they displayed vs. the Giants, and on the other side, I don't think Romo's back will hold up to the punishment the Ravens defense usually dishes out. Almost sounds like I am talking myself into the UNDER, but I think getting more than a field goal with the Ravens is a better play, as they are actually capable of scoring some points with short fields off of tunovers.

Agreed, Baltimore is the play here and the under looks fairly safe as well. Joe Flacco has been very impressive this year, that kid's got a frozen rope for an arm, his decision making has been good for the most part, and he can actually scramble a bit too! Baltimore is an angry team coming into Dallas, they got f***** screwed last week. The Ravens defense has let up an average of 9 points over the last three weeks. At this point in the season I'd also take Baltimore's offense over the Giants (without Burress & Jacobs), and Dallas did not look good at all offensively against New York last Sunday.

I'll probably be on Baltimore too.

Sorry LT

[SBR Lou]

LT is one of my buds but him being on the Ravens is not a dealbreaker with the way he's ran lately.

[SBR Lou]

I'll probably be on Baltimore too.

Sorry LT

It's OK to agree with me, you might not be losing so much then.

You will see me going to the opera with Rogue Scholar before you see me agreeing with you on a game.

It's Romo's injury that is causing the line fluctuations and uncertainty.

I agree that with a healthy Romo Dallas has good value at -4, but if he is really hurting but plays anyway, or doesn't play, or gets knocked out, it will be a dogfight and probably Baltimore has value.

The smart play is taking the points, but, its the NFL...

I'm just going to be as honest as I know how to be, Baltimore has no value here. This will be my last post on the subject until tomorrow.

With Romo being hurt last week and a short week (only 5 days rest), I like Baltimore to cover the spread. Romo is going to take some hits for sure. I'm wondering if he'll even finish the game. A small play on the Baltimore ML too maybe. Line is at +3 currently.

[unit1884]

Hes fine, he will play, Demarcus Ware will get at least 2.5 sacks. that will be the difference in this game.

Good analysis but Romo against that defense bothers me abit as he is prone to alot of mistakes under pressure and Ed Reed is back there?OOOOOOOOOOO!I don't know!I like the under!!!Also,the Giants busted him up a bit and all it takes is for Ray Lewis or Terrel Suggs to get a good shot or two on him and Brad Johnson takes over and Cowboy backers money goes down the drain!

Ok, well then I am going to be completely 100% honest myself. I'm talking about, I'm just going to lay it all out on the table, just 100% brutal honesty, for all to see. If Romo tries to play through an injury he shouldn't be trying to play through, I'm not sure I'd want money on Dallas giving more than a FG.

Will I get in trouble for making this post? Maybe. But there are some times in life when you have to go with complete honesty regardless of everything else, and I think this is one of those times.

I am also through with this matter for the day, I have said my peace.

Romo is hurt

Trap game

Dallas -4 I like it.

They played good defense at Pitt too. Flacco made a living off of weaker teams. He will get sacked 4 or 5 times. The number is a little tricky at 4 though. As for Romo, a contusion is nothing more than a bruise. It may be painful but most of that should be gone. Since there is no injury to a bone or joint, I expect him to be near 100%.

[SBR Lou]

Seer, it seems we've seen the game the same way lately. That should continue here. I also like that Brock Landers is high on the play.

The key here is waiting for DAC's lock.

Romo being hurt is a non-factor. He never left the game last week. It isn't a structural injury. Everyone is banged up this time of the year. He'll be starting. This is a playoff-type game for the Cowboys, they need the win. It's put up or shut up and Romo needs to prove he can come through in a spot like this, not to mention Wade Phillips and the rest of the franchise. They won't be holding anything back Saturday.

Flacco hasn't impressed me that much so far. Sure he had some good games against some middling teams, but the Cowboys are top notch and peaking right now, especially on defense. This won't be like the good old days for the Ravens when they had reasonable QB talent like Dilfer, McBroken, or even Tony Banks. Flacco is a level below these guys. If you're betting on Flacco to win this game, you need to really think about that.

I think Dallas is a huge waste of money. Hard to complete a pass when you are injured much less injured and laying on your back. Balt is the play and worth a look at the money line also. Under seems tasty

Bad sign when most everyone likes the dog, and seem to be basing it all on defense overlooking the fact that Dallas hasn't been a slouch on D either and they're at home. That's completely ignoring the overwhelming advantage Dallas has on offense.

[Slim]

I just took the Cowboys -3 -140 at BetJamaica. I hated buying the point but I just feel alot more confident about them at -3.

[SBR Lou]

Let's get some more discussion flowing on this one.
