Other points...
Lions:
Third straight game on the road. That's a tough spot to enter the playoffs in.
A very weak showing to end the year vs. the Pack. The Pack controlled that game virtually the whole way and beat them in almost every meaningful statistical category.
Didn't cover against the lousy Bears and Jimmy Clausen prior to that.
Prior to that? Didn't cover as big favorites against the Vikings.
0-3 ATS in it's last three.
Dallas:
Blew the doors off the Colts which many here love over a very live Cincy team.
Won in Seattle, a place where no other team can.
4 straight wins of double digits. 4-0 SU and ATS in it's last 4.
One team on a major upswing in real and betting-terms and one team, betting-wise on a down swing.
Now to the spread.
Do I like it at 7?
No.
You are paying a premium for Dallas. You always will. They are among the most public of teams and in good years, that premium gets worse.
But I don't see Dallas losing this game in any way, shape or form.
So if they win outright, what can we say about the spread?
It's big, but you Detroit backers better get inside the number.
And getting inside that number in the playoffs isn't easy especially in the Wild Card Round.
I'll give you this stat and take it for what you will.
Since 1978, Wild Card round winners cover 89% of the time, that is the team that wins, covers almost 9 of 10 times.
That means, only 10% of the games in all the Wild Card Rounds since 1978, resulted in a favorite winning but not covering the spread.
So if you don't have money on this Detriot ML, that trend doesn't bode well for you.
Now that trend DOES NOT predict the future, it is simply a trend about playoff spreads. That's it.
Enough. It's a number with a premium that is distasteful but we will attempt to avoid a backdoor.
GREAT teaser side btw: Cowboys to -1. Then you can take another game of your liking.
The pick is in.
The Winners in Life (Cows) - 7 over the Losers in Life (Lions)

25 of the 26 teams at the merger of the AFL and NFL have played in the Super Bowl.Aren't the Lions due for an appearance?
Perhaps Rutgers'-winners of the first football game-victory on their home field last week in the Quick Lane Bowl is bringing them luck.It would be fitting as Governor Christie-a Cowboys fan- did not attend our game there..
A long way to go.

Yup. I wrote two pages JUST about that.

All kidding aside at what point do you say I give up, I can’t win at this game.
I would be embarrassed alone walking into the Bank every Monday.
I personally thinking he’s laughing at some Sports Book with A, B and C level managers on how much money they took in from this post.
Certainly, the common man would say i give up, I’ve embarrassed myself enough. I’m tired of being ridiculed, not the case here.
Something is seriously wrong with this picture.

Obviously he still does it because he likes the attention he receives good or bad. i highly doubt he bets much on the games either. But for the most part don't discourage him from posting this dude is money when you fade his picks!

I like the fact that Scalabrine gives a good deal of reasoning for his selections, and is able to sometimes correctly predict how a game will play out. I disagreed with him on this game. But rather than come into his thread and puke all over it and rip him, I listened to his reasons and wished him well. We need more people to do the same.
Although, I will say, I love Covers because guys will crush you here if you post nonsense or even if they disagree with you and you've got to be a man about it. Makes for a much more fun forum.
