Dallas all the way...-5.5

**Da Manster!** · 12-30-23, 09:55 AM

I like it. a lot. Might hammer it myself. it seems to me like books are absolutely begging you to take Detroit and I'm pretty sure the Lions are probably going to be a huge public dog (which I love fading in those spots). Also possibly a little bit a of a letdown for Detroit after clinching their division last week? and Dallas should be pissed and angry after last weeks gut wrenching loss to Miami and the debacle in Buffalo two weeks ago. they usually respond very well after adversity and especially playing at home.

**lakerboy** · 12-30-23, 10:04 AM

Yes Dallas will act like a different team at home. Good spot for them

**johnnyvegas13** · 12-30-23, 10:11 AM

I agree

**Da Manster!** · 12-30-23, 10:38 AM

Damn!! Me, LB, and Johnny all in agreement?! What could possibly go wrong?!...

According to the New York Times' playoff simulator, the Lions have a 5% chance to finish atop the NFC.

*Can't disagree with your logic. Campbell did give a locker-room speech after they locked up the division last week.

Lions would need a lucky run-out to bump up to the 1-seed. Realistically, the Lions are capped at hosting a game opening week.

It's very much a too-good-to-true situation. Lions had not won the Division in 30 years.

Line is fishy. Why only -5.5 when they demolished everyone at home. Bet smart and don't donate to the books.

The line is actually high it was even-6. Detroit has a better record. It should be 4/4.5.

Damn, me too. And I HATE Dallas personally . Can't let that get in the way though.

They are the only team that if I play them and they lose, it's kinda OK.

It's a D.C. thing.

I think it's mostly about the Lion mindset. This is such a natural letdown spot.

They could have LOST the Viking game, too. Campbell propping the team up sounds a lot like "Enjoy it, fellas."

Ya, I like it too.
Cowboys score almost 40 points per game at home.

Seems like opening at 6 was too high even so. I mean the Lions are tied with the Eagles and 9ers right now and getting 6. But, I do agree with you that part of that line is Dallas has destroyed everyone at home and has not lost there too so that's factored in.

One of the best scenes in the movie IMO.

"Everything was fine until dickless here shut down the grid"
"Is that true?"
"Yes. This man has no dick."

Detroit First half for me

**Mr KLC** · 12-30-23, 08:06 PM

I got Sam La Porta Over 4.5 Receptions.

Jimmy Johnson just putting his pants on during the ceremony. They cut the camera off.

**Eddy Munny** · 12-30-23, 09:48 PM

Of course the game with the highest total on the board is 7-3 at the half.

Meanwhile the Browns and the Jets were trading points like a PAC12 tilt in the desert.

Yup and just a week ago the Steelers could not stop scoring. NFL is hilarious.

**stevenash** · 12-30-23, 09:59 PM

Watch, you'll see a 34 point 2H now.

**johnnyvegas13** · 12-30-23, 10:12 PM

Classic win and no cover coming up

**johnnyvegas13** · 12-30-23, 10:26 PM

They said Dallas kicker can make a 70 yarder in gm

ya right

**gauchojake** · 12-30-23, 10:33 PM

The ACTION Network was touting the over 52 due to steam. lol

**johnnyvegas13** · 12-30-23, 10:39 PM

Action network actually better than most

Almost

**getaloadoffatso** · 12-30-23, 11:24 PM

The coaching from both teams at the end of this game was probably the worst I've seen in some time

**Housemoney** · 12-30-23, 11:25 PM

I hate the Cowboys, took them-4.5, was happy to lose if they did. Fukked me both ways.

Not if you took Dallas ML like I did.

Nothing like going from W to L and then back to W in a matter of seconds.

**Renegades** · 12-30-23, 11:36 PM

The way these games play out, I dont know how anyone lays pts in the nfl. If I like a favorite I just stay away from the gm
