Cowboys open as 1 1/2 point favorites

What day is? :rimshot:

First line I saw (Vegas, Vegas Insider Opening line uses online or whatever comes across first for what they list as the opening line) was -1 and 45. Early action has the money going on the Cowboys and the over, line has moved to -2 and 47. Anybody taking the Chargers is going to be tempted to take the money line rather than the points, which kind of skews the movement on the betting line. Getting the -2 basically assumes Dallas wins by less than a FG. If you like the Bolts, chances are you like them to win outright. Again, this is a huge pass imo. You like the Cowboys to destroy the line, should be easy money, right?

I like the Cowboys by 7-10 in this game. I am concerned that our offense versus their defense is a push, so we will score 20 or so, but that their good offense versus our awful defense should allow them to get into the upper 20s or even into the 30s.

Agreed. Such a doofus. LMAO at myself.

Be careful who you are calling a doofus old man! (I have already self proclaimed that for myself!)

No way the Cowboys beat us by 1 and a half.

Fuck the Cowboys.

This thread suggests that we opened as 1.5 point dogs, but the Vegas insiders website suggests that the game opened as a pick 'em game. Now the line is at Cowboys -2 and I would jump all over that if I were a betting sort (taking the Cowboys of course, which seems to be in line with what most bettors have actually done).

Good idea not to become the betting sort.

COWBOYS REMAIN AMERICA'S TEASE

sharps made a killing Sunday, off all the squares who played the flashy but ultimately unreliable Cowboys.

Heads up, calling out Vegas for being way off base, most of the time, is way off base.

It's not like they have unlimited resources or anything to make these betting lines right? Vegas has and generally will always be the most unbiased power ranker in the NFL. They actually put their money where their mouths are.
