Thought on Dallas and Cincy this weekend?

[snoozer]

Just curious on what peoples thought are on going against dallas this week. I have a really hard time betting on Tennessee, but look at all the stuff Dallas is in the middle of

- Major distraction with this TO issue
- Playing on the road and giving 1o points
- have a big time division game coming up the next week against Philly

As for Cincy,
- Thurman done for year with DUI - is this a distraction
- Let down after big division win?
- NE hasn't lost back to back since 2002

Personally, I think NE will not be all that great this year, but could this be a good spot (maybe buy a /1/2 point) and take them as 7 point dogs?

Another thought I had on this game is Cincy rush defense is poor and I think this is an area where NE will exploit...

I can see both these dog covering the spread.......my power ratings system has Dallas by 6 and Cincy by 4 and
Dallas vs non conf off home game is 1/11/1 ats

Cinn vs conf off road game 4/14/1 ats
NE away off loss is 7/1 ats

although Cincy seems to own NE the same way Denver did.......Cincy 7/0/1 vs NE.......4/1 su 5/0 ats home........might have to pass this one

I wish I would of waited to pull the trigger on Dallas. I played them yesterday assuming the line would go to 10+ I got on at Dallas-9. Now with all the T.O distraction & T.Glenn cutting his hand.
Thinking of buying it back

 

[Statman02]

let's go all the way back to 1997 for that Dallas trend and make them 1/16/1 ats.........away they are 0/10 su and 0/10 ats.........avg score 9.3 to 27.9

The only thing that would worry me with the dallas game is that T.O. will be playing and he loves to play the hero role after an injury or incident. Also Tenn is a terrible team right now with absolutely no identity. They seem to be the team you want to play if you need an easy win. Good luck

As for Cincy v NE here is NE's injury report

S Artrell Hawkins (thigh) -- questionable
CB Ellis Hobbs (wrist) -- questionable
WR Chad Jackson (hamstring) -- questionable
OT Nick Kaczur (shoulder) -- questionable
S Eugene Wilson (hamstring) -- questionable
QB Tom Brady (right shoulder) -- probable
WR Doug Gabriel (hamstring) -- probable
OT Matt Light (knee) -- probable
OT Ryan O'Callaghan (head) -- probable

The new names on the report are Hobbs, Wilson and O'Callaghan.

No players were removed off last week's report.


This is not a good situation when going against a team that has a great passing game.
