I think cincy will go deep into the playoffs this year?

DALLAS

Cincy,  especially if they are getting points.

A thread for a preseason game...?

dallas 2 games in 4 days.dallas will probably win,cincy should be getting at least 3.5 and cover.

FOOTBALL IS ALMOST HERE

Just saw a posted line

Dallas -1  

I was hoping Cincy would be getting 3 or more.

Now I see the Bengals favored -2.5

Bengals Favored ...   T.O. returns to Dallas 

Thank God football season is just around the corner!!!!

Best  time of the year!!!!

agreed,,the degens are getting jumpy no doubt

wonder boy bryant out 3 wks,romo sore arm.we'll be lucky if they don't field the practise team!

Dallas.

Col.J,logans has boys+2.5/32.5...............think they're trying to tell us something? FOOTBALL IS BACK

I think your right.tcrote

Good Luck tcrote, keep cool down there in the Lonestar State

DALLAS WINS THIS ONE BIG!!! 

Game is playing in Ohio.

At first I was leaning Cincy with the thought that Dallas would be the fav.  Now after further review I see the Pokes getting 2.5.  Regardless of where this game is being played, I think the dog in this game is the way to go. I'm taking Big D to win this one SU.

Dallas - 16                                        Cincinnati - 10

Cowboys +2.5                          under 32.5

Good Luck and Let's get the season started.

 

I just hate doing this,,,, Flip-Flopping on my first pick of the season.

I just don't see Dallas winning or covering based on their pre-season opening game track record. It should be close but I now feel the Bengals will win this one in the end.Like t-crote said the line movement is telling us something. I'm taking the bait and going with the Bengals -2.5, I also think it will go over the number, another flip-flop. Sorry

Cincinnati - 20                                       Dallas - 17

Bengals -2.,5                               over 32.5

Final answer.

Marvin Lewis Press Conference Transcript

Q: With (Antonio) Bryant and Matt (Jones) out, (Maurice) Purify and Jerome (Simpson) have been getting a lot of snaps:
ML: “Jerome’s thing has never been to not look good physically, but now he’s doing other things much, much better. He’s understanding the concepts and routes better now.”

Q: The last few years you guys played the Mock Game coming up this weekend. How is this (Hall of Fame game) different, and are you preparing any differently?
ML: “It’s not early, because we were allowed to start camp based on when we play our first preseason game. This is our first chance to play against guys in other colored helmets, and the timing of it is good for us. It’s a good opportunity for our young players, and I’ve said this since we decided to take on the game.”

Q: Does playing five preseason games help or hurt your team?
ML: “We accepted to do the game and, for the nine-millionth time (laughs), we have a lot of young players and it gives them more snaps and more opportunities to play.”

Q: Carson had his best statistical season in 2005. With the guys you have out there, do you anticipate that he can do the same kinds of things this year?
ML: “The most important thing is to win the most games. If they’re putting winning drives together and winning football games, that’s the most important part. So I don’t concern myself with Carson’s stats as long as his interception totals are low, the fumble totals for the offense are low and we’re making converting third downs. Obviously his passer rating has a lot to do with the stats I mentioned, so that’s probably the main one that matters.”

Q: But you guys won a lot of games in 2005:
ML: “But we didn’t win the last game, and that’s the one that counts.”

Q: Does a nationally-televised game mean as much to the coaches as it does the players?
ML: “It’s a good thing for our players to play in a nationally-televised game. I don’t know that it affects the coaches any differently.”

Q: (Jordan) Shipley and (Dezmon) Briscoe. How are they doing?
ML: “They’re doing well. Dez had probably made the biggest jump from where he was when we first had him in rookie camp, so I’ve been really pleased with him. Jordan (Shipley) has come back and fit right in.”

Q: Is Odom progressing further than you thought he would be at this point?
ML: “He was cleared to participate back in OTAs (after recovery from last season’s Achilles tendon injury). He’s had some illness that he’s been dealing with lately, in and out of camp a couple of days, but other than that he’s been doing fine. He got kicked in the Achilles one time and his ankle was a little sore, but he’s just got to get back to playing football. The good thing is he got to do that back in late May or early June.”

Q: Was it the same Achilles?
ML: “I think so.”

Q: What do you want the guys to get from touring the Hall of Fame on Saturday?
ML: “It’s a good opportunity for them to see the traditions of the game and where things started and why.”

Q: Any idea what Chad (Ochocinco) might do inside the Hall of Fame?
ML: “Hopefully he learns a lot.”

Q: What are your thoughts on (Dick) LeBeau into the Hall of Fame?
ML: “I think he’s still among the top interceptors of all time. He was a guy who was a very productive player at the corner position, and was a tough, tough football player. He has been a great friend since I started working with him in 1992. I am excited for him, and he is well-deserving as a player. Obviously a lot of the recognition has come from Dick as a coach, but he was a fine player.”

Q: How is (Jermaine) Gresham doing, and how much will he play on Sunday?
ML: “I don’t know ... until I feel like he’s played enough. He’s had to come here and really get going. When you come in five or six or seven practices into it like he did, you’ve got to get going. We’re counting on him to do a lot. You don’t get the luxury of standing back and watching and observing, you’ve got to get in and do it. It’s going to be a lot of trial by fire, and he may make some mistakes, but once he makes those mistakes, we’ll be able to make the corrections.”

i'm still on the boys(+2.5)knowing how jerry jones wants to win the big one,and pay for his new castle,i'm thinking there's going to be a bit more incentive(notice not pressure)for them to get off on a positive.HOF game,1st of new season,on nat'l tv.even if the starters only play very limited time(and they will)i think the dallas 2nd/3rd squads have more talent/experience than cincy.also along that line,i don't see palmer/ochoWTF being of major concern yet.i'm going DALLAS/UNDER,might be close,even ugly,but still see dallas win.

Dallas is going to ride Stephen McGee (zero NFL starts or games for that matter) most of the game.  They want to see if he is the future QB.  All he has done in practice is check downs. He will try and throw too Hurd and Ogletree.

Kicker David Buehler no NFL attempts
