    I always laugh at these "everybody is on..." posts. Just because someone saw two people on Covers on the same side.

    As of right now... 

    76% on Dallas spread
    68% on Dallas ML

    First and foremost, Zim is missing the game. Not a big deal?? Yeah I didn't think so when Kubiak missed earlier in the season. Not an easy task going into battle without your leader. Do not under estimate the affect this has on a team.

    In the last 5 games, Minny has lost to Detroit twice 13-16 and 16-22 (Detroit avgs 22oppg-21dppg), Washington 20-26 (Washington avgs 25-24), and Chicago 10-20 (Chicago avgs 16-24 ppg). The only game they've won, they beat a very bad Arizona team by 6. In all 4 of those games, the opponent scored right around their season avg, and Minnesota was under. Long story short, Minnesota can't put up points. Their offense isn't built to come from behind. They are a very slow, very short passing team. Dallas averaging 29 ppg on offense and giving up 19 ppg on defense. Minny will have to score 27 points if they want to cover this spread, because no way they are slowing Dallas down. Yeah, their defense was on pace to surpass the 2015 Denver D, but they finally wore down. It is hard to stay motivated and fresh on D when your offense is prone to 2-3 minute drives. Dallas goes up early here, and Minnesota never has a shot. This is the biggest gift from Vegas all year.

    Don't forget, two weeks ago Dallas put up 27 and beat "the best defense in the league" by 10. Get on board, sell points back, do what you have to do to put money on Dem Boyz, Dallas rolls tonight. I'm going all in!! Dallas wins: 30-17

    What happened to the Eagles vs. Green Bay? It was so obvious to take the Eagles but what happened?

    People don't want to hear it.  Creatures of habit.  Also most people's memory doesn't stretch very far past last week.  It'd be safe to assume a large number of these Minny backers are people who got burned last week taking the Cowboys to cover and now they think Dallas sucks.

    The average bettor rarely remembers what happened two weeks ago, and everyone here thinks they aren't average bettors but rather 'sharps' 

    Just sit back and watch the fireworks, that's what I did last week with a huge GB ML wager. 

    Saints won't cover though, HAH

    Prefer not to tangle with a side here but if Vegas comes up with a 3 point line then you have to believe the Viking defense will play very well to stay close in this game because a gun fight with Dallas would be a disaster.

    I just wish I wouldn't have taken at at -125 to lock it in at -3.  My book has it at -3 -110 now

    I can't stand the Bible-thumping qb, but Minnesota should be able to put up points against the 31st ranked passing D at home. AND the Minnesota D should be pumped.
