WEEK 6 SUCKER BET brought to you by Tootsie Pop!

"Good morning everybody and welcome to Week 6's edition of the SUCKER BET brought to you by Tootsie Pop!  For those of you who are unfamiliar with the SUCKER BET,  each week I identify the games where the public seems to be heavily favoring one side.  Typically there are 3 or 4 choices each week.  From those games, I choose one unpopular pick as the SUCKER BET.  Last week was a loser for the SUCKER BET as the Texans, more specifically Sage Ronsenfels, crumbled with minutes left in the game.  That brings the season tally to 2-3 ATS.  This week I like the Cardinals +5 hosting the Cowboys.  The Cardinals have looked strong all year, especially last week as the crushed the Bills 41-17 as the won the turnover battle 4-0.  Boldin is out and that hurts, but they have plenty of wideouts in ARI.  With Boldin out, rookie cappers are more hesitant to back ARI, thus keeping our number well above a FG.  The Cowboys' last three wins -- all against teams currently with losing records -- have been by an average of just 8.0 points.  Cowboys are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.  Cowboys are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall.  Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss.  Cowboys are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. NFC.  Cowboys are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games on grass.  Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win.  Cardinals are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.  Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games on grass.  Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.  Jeff Saragin's Ratings of USA Today actually has the Cardinals ranked higher than the Cowboys.  Only the Texans and Lions has a worse TO Ratio than the Cowboys.  Both the offensive statistics for these teams are very impressive.  That beings said the Cardinals have had a harder schedule to this point (6th hardest in the NFL: DAL 20).  I'd be careful jumping all over the over in the this game as well.  As bad as the Cowboys secondary has been, Warner can't hold on to the ball if someone in the stands sneezes.  Romo throws picks like Dr. Z...too many.  For those who will statistically analyze this game, it's incredible how close the teams are; team offense, team defense, and individuals.  I'll take the dog nobody wants.  There you have it, Cardinals +5.  Good luck to everyone and see you next week for WEEK 7 SUCKER BET brought to you by Tootsie Pop!" 

Im not surree

Dallas can put some pressure on Warner and cause him to throw nerfs
i am on dallas side as of now

BOL

love the pick apples

what happened when the cards played the Jets?

west to east at 1pm...cards are awful on the east coast going back 10-15 years

they had 5 turnovers in the first half

Exactly KOAJ, just like SD in Miami, and the Seahawks looking brutal against the best team in the league. 

 

Like the Cards this week as well demapples 

That Cards game had nothing to do with West coast ot East coast.

The Cards stayed on the east coast all week to avoid any travel issues.

The real problem that week was Warner and company had been issued a new style of glove which made it very difficult to grip the ball,hence all of those turnovers.Even before the game you could see Warner having problems in practice. 

All week after that game I heard how the Bills wer going to have a field day with T/o's because they had a better Defense than the Jets.Ha! Ha! Ha! Zona was my best bet against the Bills.

Even though Dallas has an Offense that is so hyped (they are good but overrated due to Romo's inaccuracy). The Dallas secondary will have a tough time containing the Cards attack. Pacman Jones is out,Terence Newman is out,Roy williams is out.

Hmmm...love the play Demapples!!!

already on it      




i though the sucker bet was gonna be chicago -2.5 against a mediocre ATL team.

maybe it is a sucker bet also, but fuck that!  Im takin the Bears big!

Bears, Cards, Ravens, Bengals, Patriots

Bet the Cards at home, fade them on the road.

 

Throw in S.F as well as Seatlle for that angle.

 

Rookie

 

I'm a rookie A LOT!!!!   

At least I don't make my predictions by players featured on the cover of magazines.  You're a Pro at picking these games! 

The over is going to be my best bet this weekend.  Both offenses are going to be too much for each other's defenses to handle.  I'm staying away from a side in this game as I won't be surprised if the Cards win or if Dallas blows them out.  If I had to choose it would be Dallas, but I'm sticking to the over.

Still can't believe the total distruction of houston last week in the 4 th quarter. You should of had that one

Love the play this week, too many distractions for Dallas feels like the playoffs are already here for them.

LETS GO CARDS
