why are the pats only -7?....

[gardenweasel]

dallas certainly hasn`t looked good...they`ve struggled mightily this year......

this is in new england....i look around at the slate and i see that the ravens are 9 over houston(granted the injuries),and the jets are -9 vs miami....

maybe i`m off,but,seems like a good deal of respect for the cowgirls......i was hoping for a bit more...

Jets did not exploit it gw, but the Pats Pass defense is godawful. Look for a shootout. I think the number is spot on and think it will land right on the 7. If I can get 7.5 I play dallas small.

Think the boys are live here though

Hey Wease.....Dallas HASNT struggled this year....the WHOLE team has played VERY GOOD EXCEPT ROMO and the Center for one game. Every other player is BALLING!! Romo doesn't fumble verse the Jets at goal line...W! He doesn't throw two pick 6's in a row and 3rd INT in second half up 24-3 to Detroit....W!

I STRONGLY disagree with your comment that they have struggled MIGHTILY this year! Romo has been a complete A-Hole but the rest of the team is playing well IMO!

Factor in Dallas typically plays well of the bye, have Austin coming back, 2 weeks to prepare, other players like Dez, O-Line and Scandrick to get healthy.....and the DB's of NE are lousy....I will take the +7

Listen could loose by 10+....just like chances on any game...but I think catching a full 7 and not 6 is a good spot.

Always a fan of yours so GL this week!! :0074 :0074

good post clem...thanks....we`re on the same page...

zamo...i`m looking hard at dallas...i thought that the public perception was that of a team that wasn`t cranking on all cylinders....obviously,romo`s been wildly erratic...i was banking on that perception to help get the line above 7....

i was hoping for someone to help me decide whether it `s wise to grab the 7,or wait and hope for the public to push that extra half point our way....new england at around 60% at a very well known tracking site.....

COWS strong after the bye--Their def is better than Pats, Rex Ryan and CLEV beat them last year with less talent. COWS are live

they are a little banged up..


New England Patriots RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis (toe) did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 13.


New England Patriots DT Vince Wilfork (undisclosed), LB Jerod Mayo (knee) and FS Josh Barrett (thumb, hamstring) did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 13.

[The Boys]

The Cowboys have now played 10 straight games where the margin of victory is 4 points or less. Does 7-pts sound attractive at New England?

New England is 19-1 SU the last 20 times they've been more than a TD favorite. Only 6-13-1 ATS.

bc there defense can't stop a nose bleed:0074

 

[elmer fudd]

'cause their defense aint so good..:0008

Number is very sharp IMO. Were only up 6 with 6 mins. to go against a Jets team that definitely didn't have their best game. Pats will have trouble running on them, and Brady struggles with teams with speedy/aggressive front 4. Dallas will be able to bring pressure with just that front 4. Don't forget also, it's Ryans defense, and I think that was the last team (Cleveland) to beat the Pats in the regular season...

It'd be Big D or nothing for me...I say El Paso though...
