oak/dallas-strange lines

[pepin46]

visiting team gives 6 points and total is 34.

hard to figure: they expect a oak 20-14 game?

low total, yet oakland to clear 6 points.

just to keep up with my terrible streak:

oakland and the over, oakland first half, dallas second half. one more 4 parlay before i go blind. 2 miami dimes. (you guys should consider parlaying the opposite)

maybe their thinking Dallas wont score ??

Pep Oak can name the score. I believe that is why the 6. But will they. Third week many coaches do play more of the first team longer. They rest them again fourth week. They play the bench more to help make those last cuts. This would be to Oak advantage to. Just may be hard to break old memories. Dallas getting 6 points. May see that a few more times this year. I was thinking more like 24 to 10. That gives them the 34.

Intially Emmitt was not going to play and now they have backed off that and say he will...Per and ESPN article

Cowboy coaches had earlier said they would probably keep Smith out of the game, as they did in three earlier trips by the Cowboys to Mexico, to avoid the risk of an injury to the running back.


But Smith told a news conference Sunday night that "fans were kind of excited about me playing, so the coaches finally pulled the trigger and allowed me to come out and play."


He said he would be there "unless something drastic happens."


In past years, "something drastic" was pregame rain that made the turf slippery, and more rain was forecast for Monday.

Everything that i've seen and heard locally is Emmitt will make an appearance of about 6 plays. I don't there is enough impact in 6 plays. If its raining. He will on the pine for 99.9%. Unfortunately, when you are the only threat on offensive side of the ball, Oakland will know who to key on if he's there anyway.

Just an opinion.

Oak covers easily tonight and under the total

Oak 21- Dal 10

ROLL THE DICE

 

[Subagoto]

I am tending to agree. I am going to buy it down a 1/2 point to -5.5. Good luck to everyone. Risking 1 unit on that.

I have been a lurker here for about two years. I use mostly my own handicapping but I do value the opinion of good cappers within each forum. My point is, don't you think turnovers will add to the scoring if the weather is bad and as I recall footing has always been a problem down there with chunks of turf being torn up. I feel the footing favors the offense because they know where there going and can make proper cuts.

 

[TEXAS]

I have Oak -6 and I have over 33.5

Everyone I talk to says I'm losing my mind, but I just have to go with my gut here. Everytime I second guess myself, I get screwed. At least this way I did it to myself if things don't work out. Good luck on your plays tonight Pepin46, I have my cash riding the same horse.

the weather in Mexico City appears to not be as bad as originally thought. Heavy rain is no longer mentioned. the chance of precipitation is down to 70%. It seems to be getting better by the hour.

indecision is the KEY to flexibility

I understand 32 is showing up some places. That makes over a temptation.
Im starting to think Oak and Over tezed.
As to what causes most unders. It has been said many times here Wind and Cold. Snow if not much and rain have caused overs. Just as much as they have unders. But that dam wind gets blowing and the passes go no where. To kick a FG you have to get with in 20 yrds. So check on that wind that may come with that 70% chance of rain.
