Thoughts on Cowboys/Bears MNF

BigDeem5 · 12-09-13, 12:10 AM

Like Chi. got buried on Sunday (today). so fade may be good play.

don't overthink it Chicago got a backup QB and Murray will run all over the Bears D. Cowboys win this one easily and keep up with the Eagles

All I know about this game is that I need 19 points from Forte to win my fantasy playoff game.

NYSportsGuy210 · 12-09-13, 12:38 AM

Cowboys ML is a steal. But like Eagles to win the NFC east. Dallas and Arizona will be left out in the cold come playoff time.

If Aaron Rodgers comes back next three weeks and runs the table then Packers have the only chance to beat out Detroit for the #4 playoff spot.

Bears a much better side than Vikings

Would be no surprise if Bears win this

Dallas makes ANY game an adventure. Whether it's Denver or Oakland, New Orleans or the Giants. I can't take for granted a Cowboys win.

Thoughts? Bears are a dumpster fire, their QB is a vagina, the coach is fukkin' simple, their RB falls down on contact. Marshall and Alshon are beasts.

Cowboys are still lead by Tony Romo so anything can happen.

Seems like a coin flip to me.

Bears offense is better than cowboys defense. Cowboys offense is better than bears d. Game comes down to turnovers. Both teams still playing to get murdered at home on wildcard weekend. Temps in the 20s. Crowd will be up. Should be a shoot out.

Are you a Bears fan by chance? Your Beardown avatar....

Yes. But I have realistic expectations and I don't bet on my team. But I'd give my left nut for a Super Bowl championship.

It's Tony Romo.

It's December.

Thought about this, but he is also historically great in November, which isn't the case this year.

Most likely this trend does not hold true this time around.

Like the Bears here. Good spot for them.

Waiting for line confirmation.

simmy17 · 12-09-13, 09:52 AM

i had dallas as at least a 2/3 point favorite so im taking the cowboys as the line is off with my projections also had the total higher around 51

shookid · 12-09-13, 09:58 AM

romo is 1-7 ats on MNF and Mccnown has been decent. jeffrey or marshal will have over 150+ if not both. this should be a typical cowboy game where they have to pull off some furious comeback only to lose it on the final plays. i like the over even though it looks like its falling.

newguy · 12-09-13, 10:00 AM

Bears are a train wreck. Dallas had 3 extra days to prepare for this after playing on thanksgiving. Bears are 2-8-2 ATS this year. And yet game is a pick?

Its colder than a witches tit here (Chicago) today. I don't know that I agree with Rocket about fans being pumped about this one - been quiet here - wife is big time bears fan and forgot there was a game tonight. That and freezing temps may keep some people at home. Just a few things to think about for those playing the game tonight. Likely a pass for me. Line says take Bears, everything else says take cowgirls. Over seems easy with how bad both defenses are but its so cold it might just stay under. Weird that lines are sharp this time of year!

i wouldnt bet on this game with lakerboys air

putting $55 to win $50 dallas -1 just so I have something to watch tonight

meader99 · 12-09-13, 01:22 PM

Retiring Ditka tonight. Perhaps he will give the pregame speech and they win one for Da coach.

Stocks · 12-09-13, 01:39 PM

This game comes down to winning or losing against the spread means nothing here. Both teams have similar records, similar points for and against stats so to me this game comes down to home vs away. Chicago has beaten Baltimore, NY Giants, Minnesota, and Cincinnati at home and lost to Detroit and New Orleans. Dallas has beaten Philly and NY Giants on the road and lost to Kansas City, San Diego, Detroit and New Orleans. I would give a small edge to Chicago in this game due to playing at home and we're getting Chicago as a +105 dog I got to go with the Bears. That being said I think Dallas could easily win this game its like a coin flip in poker with Chicago being pocket 8's and Dallas being QJ we're getting good odds to call but we also know anything can happen.

F'n Frigid. Wind is blowing. 21 temp now with wind chill is 10. Winds are expected to be 10-20 miles an hour tonight(not diminishing i guess) with temps at 8-12 degrees. With wind chill will be around zero i imagine.

I liked the over earlier this week, now i have to lean under. Just so bitter and biting out there.

Edit: Actually at O'hare its 17 degrees and 2 above with windchill.

In games with a kickoff temperature of 32 degrees or colder, the 'Over' is 105-78 (57.4%)

Yeah, as a fan of the team the line movement is going for I am happy to see it.

Still don't believe in this team, though.
