    Cowboys vs Chargers MNF.. Thoughts?

    Slight lean Cowboys here. Even though I can't trust Dak in prime time in close games.

    Gotta take Chargers +105 as Herbert has embrace the primetime lights with 3 straight wins under the lights.

    Taking Herbert o274.5 passing yds, too.

    Every idiot at ESPN picked the Chargers.

    Erin Dolan picked the Cowboys.

    That and McCarthy was blasted by Jerry Jones after SF game

    Can he deliver under pressure ?

    Probably not although Staley is not much better

    Erin Dolan's other pick was the Eagles 1st half -3.5.

    That was a winner.

    Something else she said about Dallas. They covered ATS after a loss for the past 2 years.

    What happened in Dallas vs SF caused the line to drop so it's in our favor if taking Dallas and
    people are over-reacting because of that game.

    Her logic for taking Dallas is quite simple and to the point.

    Some women have quite the intuition about things. Just maybe she has it? What the hell do I know.

    Technically, Erin also works at ESPN, but at least she is the best looking if that counts for anything.

    Erin also said that the Chargers beat two teams who are mediocre teams.

    Hopefully Dallas is above mediocre.

    Cowboys always seem to bounce back strong and perform well after an embarrassing loss. Just like when they got their asses kicked by Arizona and then the following week destroyed the Pats. that's been their MO for the last several years with the combo of Mike McCarthey and Dak Prescott. Tight game that could either way. No play for me. Just throw a steak on the grill and hopefully enjoy a good football game!

    If he's going to do that, then shouldn't the line be Chargers favored?

    perhaps. perhaps not.

    Dallas beat up the Giants week 1. They are gonna win the Super Bowl! remember?

    Then they came home a beat the Jets rather easily after the Jets were hung over after losing their QB for the season possibly and Zach Wilson was horrible then.

    Then they fly into Arizona and the Cards whipped their butts. Cards ran all over them.

    Then they fly home and beat up the Patriots 38-3 giving Bellechick his worst loss as a HC only for his team to lose the following week 34-0 in Louisiana. So we can say that the Pats were having some huge problems back then. They did play a little better yesterday but still lost again.

    Ok so then the fly into California and get clobbered by the 49ers. They looked awful.

    The Charger's TD machine has been out since week 1 and they are coming off a bye week and they are playing at home having 2 weeks to prepare. While I am no fan of the Chargers' head coach, I do think the wrong team is favored here. Herbert is a better QB than Prescott. I mean way better. If you owned a NFL team and you had a choice to take either Herbert or Prescott as your QB, who ya taking? 99 out of 100 will say Herbert. RB slight edge to LA. WR's about Even. D maybe slight edge to Dallas. Maybe.

    Lamb isn't getting the ball. Prescott look scared back there. His pocket presence is terrible this year and has been noticeably getting worst since breaking his ankle. He's slow.

    Good news for Dallas is their injury report compared to LA's. Perhaps that is why they books have them as a slight favorite. Less of a favorite than a few days ago mind you.

    That's my take.

    Watch it be 40-0 Dallas. If so, then consider this post as my retirement from handicapping NFL.

    Daks a bum in crunch time and I almost wanna fade but I can't. Chargers aren't all that yet either this year. I think the Dallas Cowboys D shows up tonight on the pass rush.

    In on the Boys tonight. I'll gamble..

    Home field advantage has been a money-maker for Los Angeles Chargers bettors.

    The Chargers have covered 4 of their last 5 home games and are welcoming star RB Austin Ekeler back to the lineup. Conversely, the Cowboys were blown out last week and have covered only 2 of their last 6 road games.

    Dallas is a 1.5-point road favorite tonight. L.A. is 3-1 ATS in their last 4 head-to-head games against the Cowboys, and have covered 8 of their last 11 games they entered as the underdog.

    Not really a home field advantage though. Should be mostly Cowboys fans

    I've noticed that when they play Niners and Raiders in LA, it's an away game. Interesting to see if Cowboys fans takeover, too.

    That's what's been all over the internet. Nothing but criticism of Dak.

    Don't you think he sees them and want to prove otherwise? Whether he is capable of that or not, no clue.

    Motivation is a big factor in football regardless, no?

    Well, I'm with you on this.

    If I capped the game, then the obvious choice would have been to take the Chargers. But, if it was that easy then we would win all the time.

    I have a rule not to go against black HIPPY and he picked the Chargers, but he has been on a HUGE down swing lately.

    Then, I saw Erin's pick and took the Cowboys.

    As much as Dak sucks in passing, so does the Chargers' pass defense and the Cowboys' offensive line is intact.

    It also helps that Joey Bosa isn't 100% with his toe problem.

    Actionnetwork.com has % of bets moving towards the Chargers at 59% vs 41% for Dallas and yet the line hasn't budged.

    I'd be worried if it was the other way around, i.e. Dallas being the public favorite.

    Something I've noticed about FanDuel and DraftKings odds. Whether it's always true or not, I have no clue.

    Whenever the juice is above -110 and opposite of each other at those two books, DraftKings wins if they are higher.

    I've been watching them all day today and they just moved as such. I'm just reporting what I'm seeing. They aren't the final odds, so they could be different by the game time but they haven't flipped the other way yet all day today.

    I'm sure it's nothing but a confirmation bias if anything.

    I'm with the village mush on this one, give me the Over.

    We're long overdue, I know that is utterly meaningless, but still, this has the makings of finally going over.
