FALCONS @ COWBOYS

[Pound4Pound#1]

I'D LIKE TO GET SOME THOUGHTS ON THIS GAME. I REALLY FEEL THE COWBOYS COME OUT ON TOP IN THIS ONE. I WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO SEE THEM A 4PT FAVOTIE. THEY OPENED AT 3-3.5, THE PUBLIC IS HAMMERING ATL AND THE LINE MOVED TO 4?

WE ALL KNOW DALLAS IS COMING OFF THE BYE WHICH IS IN THEIR FAVOR, BUT ANOTHER REASON I LIKE THEM IS ALL THREE NFC EAST TEAMS LOST LAST WEEK. THEY GAINED GROUND ON EVERYONE WITHOUT HAVING TO PLAY A GAME. I THINK THAT GIVES THE TEAM A HUGE BOOST IN MOTIVATION. THEY KNOW THEIR SEASON IS NOT OVER YET EVEN THO ROMO IS A SORRY-SACK-A-SUCKA.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

falcons are the better team imo... i guess it just depends what tony romo will show up.. im leaning towards the falcons + the points but still have a week to decide... gl buddy

THANKS LDB. VERY NICE SEASON YOUR HAVING. BTW DO YOU WORK LOL? SEEMS LIKE YOUR ALWAYS ON HERE......

IT JUST SEEMS TO EASY TO ME TO TAKE ATL PLUS THE POINTS. IF DAL WAS ONLY FAVORED BY 1-1.5 THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY. BUT I COULD BE WRONG, THERE IS A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING! :mj07:

I think the game is a shoot out.. Both teams have trouble stopping the pass and I look for both teams to really attack each other. As for the game I do believe ATL is better but at the same time I can see the Boys coming out party, its the OVER or nothing for me because I am done betting the Cowboys cause I don't trust ROMO to come through when needed.

The COWBOYS have cost me $550 this year..

I NEED A SU WINNER FOR MY OFFICE POOL IN THIS ONE. IM NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BET THEM UNTIL FURTHER RESEEARCH. IM ALSO HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH SF/HOU, CHI/CIN, BUF/CAR AND SD/KC. IM LEANING TOWARDS:

HOU
CHI
CAR
AND MAYBE KC

I totally agree with you. The public is all over Atlanta (which is not surprising), yet the line is moving in favor of Atlanta. Something definitely stinks here. Maybe the sharps are on Dallas, or maybe Vegas thinks they can sucker the public on this game. I'm not falling for this one. Atlanta plus more than a field goal looks way too easy against a struggling Dallas team. But in my opinion, Atlanta is overrated. I'm still not sold on their defense and they will be on the road facing a well rested, fired up Dallas team. Another game that looks waaaay too good to be true is New Orleans-Miami. New Orleans, who looks unstoppable at this point, has steam rolled everyone thus far, yet they are only laying 6 points??? I aint touching this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if Miami pulls the upset.

as hard as it may be

as hard as it may be

to see the 'Boys cover, Atl is beat up. Norwood is out, Turner is hurting. Yes the Cowboys have problems in the secondary, but they are coming off a bye and mostly healthy. Turmoil is surrounding the 'boys with the whole Patrick Crayton and Williams saga, but Cowboys are looking at this as a must win!

15-5 after the bye SU
6-1 at home SU
7-3 ats last 10

Cows -4

since we're throwing around trends.....



Dallas? 16-5 SU and 14-7 ATS mark in games off a Bye Week, including 5-0 SU and ATS the last five years and 8-0 SU and ATS when playing off a win of 6+ pts
They're also 5-0 ATS as home chalk of less than 10 points when taking on a non-division opponent they defeated in their most recent meeting.

The Falcons check in sporting a putrid 0-10 SU and ATS mark in games off back-to-back SU and ATS wins.

that'll work

that'll work

My numbers showing an amazingly easy under. :shrug: (LIke, around the 41 mark! :scared )

That ominous extra half point is making me think twice tho...

Stat-wise, Atlanta allowing a horrible 45% 3rd conversion and a run D giving up 4.7 v. the NFL's best rushing team @ 5.7 can't be a good thing. kurby

I'm liking Miami myself. Historically the phins have pretty much had their way with the saints:

09/03/09 MIA 10 - NO 7 MIA 3 U 36.5 234 89 145 285 139 146
08/28/08 MIA 14 - NO 10 MIA 1 U 35.5 99 74 25 269 102 167
08/30/07 MIA 0 - NO 7 NO 1 U 38 326 167 159 121 62 59
10/30/05 MIA 21 - NO 6 MIA 2.5 U 41 203 90 113 342 188 154
09/03/04 MIA 20 - NO 19 MIA 3 O 35 222 104 118 287 101 186
08/28/03 MIA 24 - NO 10 MIA 3 U 36.5 0 0 0 0 0 0
08/15/02 NO 24 - MIA 7 NO 2.5 U 32.5 0 0 0 0 0 0
08/25/00 MIA 22 - NO 17 MIA 6 O 36.5 0 0 0 0 0 0
08/13/99 NO 26 - MIA 14 NO 4.5 O 34 0 0 0 0 0 0
11/29/98 NO 10 - MIA 30 MIA -7.5 O 37 157 87 70 375 120 255

Granted they are different teams at this point. But miami is coming off a bye and haven't been on the road since 09/27/09. they been at home for a whole month! I believe they can hand the saints their first L of the season.

BELIEVE ME, I HATE TONY HOMO AND I HAVE BEEN FADING HIM. IM MORE OF A SITUATIONAL TYPE GUY. I LOOK FOR GOOD SPOTS TO BET ON TEAMS AND I JUST THINK THEY WILL HAVE MOMENTUM IN THIS GAME, BUT I COULD BE WRONG.

BTW NO HARD FEELINGS ABOUT THE POSTS FROM YESTERDAY. I DIDNT RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY I LIKE THE RAMS TO COVER BUT DD DOGS THIS YEAR HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE ATS AND I JUST LOOK FOR IT TO EVEN OUT THE REST OF THE WAY.
