Falcons an early pick em vs Romo and Dez-less Cowboys

[Jeff_Black]

Falcons up to -1.5 here.

Would be nice to grab the Falcons early but a no touch game for mine. Witten was banged up but likely play (I think?)
Would ideally love Dallas to drift out and let the public pound Atlanta hard but even that it would take a big line to consider Dallas. Which I dont think will happen in the space of a week.

Well....your gut has worked out good for you thus far!!

Eagles

[WWCD]

Don't jinx my bet man.

[dlunc3]

Eagles

fortunately for me, i bet on value rather then homerism.. hopefully you can say the same, or the cowgirls would have you sitting in the poorhouse considering all the losing they have been doing the last twenty years

[The J-Dizzle]

Isn't this forum a construction so we could help each other, rather than talking a bunch of crap about one another? This is not a competition.

[lakerboy]

Cowboys should win

[WWCD]

Cowboys should win

It is definitely possible, however I think improbable. I understand that the Dallas def is legit, but you still need to score points to win. Weeden isn't very good, and I believe a DT for Dallas is now out of this match up.

[The J-Dizzle]

Why should Dallas win? Atlanta clearly has the most firepower with a hot Matt Ryan and Julio Jones. Dan Quinn should be able to make Dallas offense one dimensional, and put the game in the hands of Weeden.

And Witten looks to be riddled with smaller injuries after the Eagles game. Dallas has little talent on their skill positions, and will have to adjust to a life without better than ever Romo and arguably the best WR in the league.

Yeah....that -220 you got on the Eagles ML last week was a SUPER good value!!

[dlunc3]

I bet them -3 -150. I did not bet the ml. The -3 -150 was good value dispite the loss. Bet it for the same reason that I bet the Rays and the yanks last night for today's games. Got them both +130. Both are now down to -105 and -100. And if they lose as well, I would still make the same bets again tomorrow. Taking the edge from the books is the only chance we have.

Keep crossing your fingers and betting your cowgirls, I'll keep finding value and exploiting it while making on average 50K+ per year.

I saw value on Atl ml -115 so I jumped on it. I would advise you do the same if you can still get that line. It will not be available come Sunday

I'm taking the Cowboys if the number ends up passing 3. Burial in the works.

[CHOICE]

The only play is Atlanta.. you can't back a Brandon Weeden led team lol.

Burial in the works, but you need 3?

[WWCD]

Weeden
All time WL record, 5-16
All time Completion percentage 56.4%
27TD - 28 INT
73.5 QBR
Sacked 56 times in 29 games

If Dallas wins, it won't be because of Weeden IMO

[TheSchafe]

No, but I might as well wait until kickoff to get the best number. It will get there.

[WWCD]

Good luck! I don't care if ATL wins by 1 point and we both cash.

[TheSchafe]

That's what I'm talking about my man. A lot of people here forget that we're all a team against the bookmakers of the world. Hope you locked it in and I get 3.5, and the final lands on 3. Good luck sir

Uhhh....not sure where you came up with this load of whoreshit, pal...but it's a MAJOR competition around here. Are you not familiar with POTM? Well if you ain't...you best get familiar with it. You don't win that by holding hands and playing grab ass with your fellow posters. It's a fukkin dogfight, pal.

Trust me, I know. I have a MAJOR fukkin clue.

[goduke]

Refs have been helping Dallas alot this year. With them on your side you always have a chance to win

[pavyracer]

Lets see. Atlanta with the better coach, QB and wide receivers. Even at RBs. Dallas with TE advantage and OL. Atlanta defense slightly better than Dallas based on common opponent Giants.

It all comes down to Matt Ryan. If he doesn't turn the ball over Weeden can't score enough points. Even Romo couldn't move the Dallas offense vs Eagles. Matt Ryan hasn't been sacked yet with the new OL so it's up to Dallas to put pressure on him. But if they blitz they can't double team on Julio Jones.

Atlanta should win this if they play as good as they played vs Giants and Eagles.

Pavy...if your a true Falcon fan like me, then you know that we can lose this game...its what we do historically. What can go wrong will go wrong and this is our second road game in a row. A few holding calls here, a turnover there and PI there and then next thing you know its 13-10 going into the 4th quarter and Falcons suddenly cant cover Dunbar in the flat. OK...Im taking the Falcons here too but only because I just heard that Witten is receiving treatment for 2x sprained ankles and might not play. Weeden is fuqd without Witten.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Dallas wins gm won in trenches , does anyone really trust Falcunts 2 straight road games? I'm not all that down on Weeden cancel most his career that was with a piss poor Browns team. Think Cowpokes bury the majority eating the Atl soup a bit much. They did beat 2 shit teams after all and play in a terrible div. They will make postseason based on that if nothing else then do what they always do

[opie1988]

Witten is playing. Zero question.

[dlunc3]

Who wins this game?

[opie1988]

Who wins this game?

Pal...no one knows that.

I'm not into posting locks. I'm not the one who guaranteed the Eagles would smoke the Boys, nor did I tell everyone to parlay the Eagles ML into all their parlays last weekend.

I'm the one who said that the preseason didn't mean shit. That the Eagles haven't seen anyone's real schemes yet, and that to declare that the Eagles have too many weapons for the rest of the NFL to handle was laughable.

I feel the same way about anyone who says the outcome of this game is a foregone conclusion.

This is the NFL. They're all great players.

Oh. Some of us are here to make money betting on games. Not sure I could spend all this time on a sports forum talking with strangers without actually betting or giving / receiving input on how to make a profit on these games. To each his own I guess...

Sorry about your boy romo.. You would have been in a great position for yet another first round exit. Now the division is wide open..

LOL! The Eagles and Giants are shit teams now because ATL beat them? The Giants dominated Dallas and found a way to lose and could have beaten ATL. Very easily 2-0. You were probably swinging on Bradfords nuts last Monday night and spanking it to your Chip Kelly poster...but now they are a shit team.

Funny thing is that the Cowboys are now lower odds to win the division than before Tony got hurt. They passed up Philly as the faves.

Obviously that mostly has to do with everyone seeing how shitty the Eagles actually are. The oddsmakers clearly think a Brandon Weeden led Dallas squad is better off than the "too many weapons" of the hapless Eagles.

Lol.

Yea that might be it.

Or maybe it's bc the Cowboys are now 2-0 and the Eagles are 0-2?

What a sharp guy you are.

Lol

[JIBBBY]

Love the Cowboys at home against the Falcons at even odds.. Romoless or not.. Solid bet but then again football was never my best gambling sport...

Still like the boys in this one... They are not expected to win with Romo out and players will step up especially at home.. Atlanta just isn't that good either right now which helps..

[opie1988]

Lol

Uhhh...pretty much splitting hairs there, pal.

They're 0-2 because of how fukkin terrible they are....and they're so fukkin terrible that they're 0-2.

As bad as they are, I still
was surprised to see that even without Tony, Dez, and an aching Witten...Vegas STILL thinks they're better than a fully healthy assortment of Eagles "weapons".

Crazy.

You really are clueless.

Ok, here you go. Week 9 if still no dez and no Romo, will Cowboys be favored at home on prime time by more then 3? Exactly. No chance in hell. Being favored to win the division at 2-0 compared to 0-2 is obvious. That has nothing to do with comparing the current state of each team.

For as long as you have been around, surprisingly you are still as dumb as they come.

[dlunc3]

And btw, despite being 0-2, Eagles are still heavier favorites to win the NFC then your cowgirls. As shitty as the Eagles are, that's pretty embarrassing for Dallas

I'm sensing you're getting upset, pal.

From your "Eagles have too many weapons" thread....

Pal...if you honestly think Green Bay is playing their first team defense, running all their schemes, then you really shouldn't watch football any longer.

Look...I know you Eagle fukks are desperate....BUT THIS IS THE FUKKIN 4TH PRESEASON GAME! It literally doesn't mean a fukkin thing. Nothing.

FUKK, GUYS.

Scheme only goes so far.. scheme doesn't fix when guys get beat in man to man coverage. Scout in Gb said the eagles looked "fuking unstoppable"

Yeah...so far they've looked SUPER unstoppable!!
