Thanks for the input, guys

Thanks for the input, guys

Excellent stuff, especially from bleedingpurple.....think hers right on that from a "fantasy football" perspective but maybe not an actual NFL perspective, it's easy to justify Dallas laying a TD Monday night.....thats why I finally joined up here....good work guys

Not that this is right or wrong.. I think Dallas get 3 points as the favorite and so I think if the game was on a neutral field, Dallas would be laying 3 - 4.. Not that it is right but you get Dallas as America's team over valued weekly (unless they really suck), but many people thought that when they played in New York and they were impressive for about 54 minutes but still nabbed the cover.

Washington right or wrongly does not really impress anyone. I don't think many think the Giants are that good and beating Arizona at home is no task but here is why Washington gets no respect....

Grossman..

I mean it's like he was news 4 years ago. Nobody fears him, can he come in and win.. Of coarse but the public sees or hears the name Grossman and they think, "He Sucks."

Add the fact that Washington is not viewed to have a prolific offense, many people think Washington is ordinary at best. You don't think of Washington as being an offensive juggernaught, but when you think of Dallas you think they can hang 30 on a lot of teams. Moss is viewed as over the hill and many people who bet play fantasy football as well. Who starts any Redskins except Hightower?

Also add the fact that this is Dallas home opener and add that it is Monday night and you get an inflated line of 7 regardless of records...

Now what do you think the line should be? I think 4 but it is Vegas's job to try and get even amount of bets on each side. If the line was 4 everybody west of Washington DC would be on the Cowboys. At least at 7 it gives bettors some doubt. If the line was 4 Vegas could lose their ass but they could also win big as well but they do not want to gamble, they want the 10% juice..

I guess that was a rant

You basically said everything I was going to say especially about the juice!! Well said and couldn't agree more!! :0074

Punctured lung is healed and not an issue for Romo anymore...its just the ribs. I personally don't think he plays...or plays little and Kitna comes in. Saying everything thus far to keep Wash O Coordinator off balance. I see Dallas D playing VERY WELL...but as always....Dallas can find a way to loose any game. Dez will 100% play. Witten will be huge in the game. Redskins played a banged up crappy Giants team and a bad Zona team at home and BARELY won. The haven't hit the road yet. This line is all about the juice and finding a 50/50 split...Vegas doesn't care who wins as long as they get their 10%
