Really? -9 VS the Bears?

OK the Bears arent great but I think their O can put some points up and their D can slow the Cowboys down enough to cover here.

Anyone else think this line is a little inflated?

Yeah I think that the Boys are over hyped and the Bears O will improve a little each week while they learn the new system.

their O can drive the ball.... just need to take care of the ball.

I will see where this line starts to slide

I HATE Dallas.  Let me start by getting that out of the road.  They will beat the bears by DD.  They will also be my suicide pick for the week.  They are a different beast at home.  The bears lose last week at home if Stafford doesnt get hurt or they are playing any other team.  Vegas is dangling that line begging to get Bears play and u should get the Boys before it goes up to 10.

Also Jay Cutler playing QB is like watching an abortion.

I am not a Dallas fan either but I think their defence will score some points here for sure. Revenging an embarrassing loss and Chicago just feelin good about squeaking out that game. I see a blowout as well.

Taking the Bears and Cowboys last game into perspective...

The Lions sacked Cutler 4 times.  How are the Bears going to handle
and protect Cutler against a much much better defensive rush.

The Cowboy's offense lost the game for Dallas....bonehead play
at end of 1st half and the poor performance of their offensive line
(mucho penalities).....Cowboy's offense was completely out of
sync and if you look at other good teams in NFL you will see that
they all have their bad day (Any given Sunday)

I can imagine there as some royal ass chewing at the end of the
game in the Dallas locker room.....This coming Sunday IMO a
totally different Dallas team will take the field.

Looking for the line to come down before jumping on the Dallas side...maybe 7.5...

Good luck to all

The line is inflated by about 4 points with my numbers, and rightfully so. Dallas is coming off an embarrassing loss and will look to win this one big. Both clubs have tough games the following week. There isn't any value in betting this one, and until the Bears show me they can put 3 TD's on the board, I doubt they will cover this one.

I would expect dallas to rebound at home with a convincing win BUT if their Oline is still patchwork (im not sure who is still out), than your not going to see an explosive passing game, you will get a descent running games and short passes. Im not positive but i feel like every season the cowboys have an embarrassing loss early in the season only to redeem themselves the following game to quiet all the critics....

First thought is that this line is inflated for a reason, and its not to entice Cowboy backers....

Could almost never back the boys, though....

Cowboys should win by 2 TD's here.  Bears are not good.

The cowboys got burned by Barron and Romo. A flip shovel in traffic on your side of the field? Holding on the final play? Do they fix their problem at right tackle? Playing the youngster will be an improvement. No doubt. I would look for them to move the pocket for shift protection and Romo can make those throws.  Homefield is worth 4+ this week. Do I think the Cowboys O is +-5 pts better than the Bears? Of course, easily. Skins at home with a good D, real good, and the Cowboys still had to screw the pooch in every way to lose. Cowboys D is stout and should be able to keep the rushing yards down. That leaves you Cutler to cover. EEEK!! That line is just where it should be. I hope and pray it goes down but I don't see it. 
 All.

I actually see the line going up.

I love all the talk that the Bears are horrible, what have the Cowboys done? they might be good on paper but so far I have seen shit from them.
it starts in the trenches and the O line is terrible.
Cutler will have another week to work on the new system with his WR and RB's

They couldnt run the ball last week so they passed it and passed it well. Dont think a team that was favored by 3.5 points on the road and lost outright, should be laying 9 in the next game (all being at home, i get it) but until Dallas proves they can win and win convinsingly give me Bears +9, maybe +19 in a teaser

Cutler is due for his early 4 interception game. He won't get away with as much as he did last week. Dallas D may score to cover this one. Dallas covered the first two out of three last year and had a surprisingly 9-7 ATS record last year. They are a super bowl target team and oddsmakers are going to make it a disadvantage to bet on them. If they cover 7 games this year I'll be surprised. I'll probably pass this one too. Like MayDay Malone said "until Dallas proves they can win and win convincingly."

Coach CupCake(Wade) never chews any one ass. I live in Fort Worth and i am NOT a Cowboy fan. Their Offense line is BAD.

Dallas has a top 3 defense Bears wont be able to score 14 unless they get a ST TD..Dallas at home on turf is a whole different team than the team everyone saw Sunday nite..only thing im worried about is that fkn joke of a coach Wade..Cowgirls run away with this one
