If the line doesnt move towards 3 Dallas I am going to reduce my bet size or even refrain though.

That's true. hard to predict a blowout. Wasn't easy picking the total for that game. 50-50 chance it could've went under as well.

Dallas on paper should dominate the Rams. Demarco should have another monster game like he did against them last year.. but still why is it -1 and hasn't budged since?

Rolando McClain their leading tackler is doubtful to play. Dallas has been playing decent defense though.. Will losing McClain affect that?Plus other variables where Tony Romo is involved. Will we see Tony "pick six" Romo? When was the last time Dallas won 2 straight road games? ..... My money won't be touching this one but if I had to pick.. leaning St Louis....

Sip on that plus money honey!

It's a a trap. Books want you to see a small number and back America's Team against a 3rd string QB. The Rams can play an ugly, low-scoring game and have Legatron boot massive FGs to put them ahead.

St. Louis will focus on stopping the run and chase Romo into mistakes. I'd recommend the Rams and under for this one.

"Capable of stopping the run"? STL has been chewed up by both Minn and TB on the ground. QB's are huge in the NFL but the run game is first and foremost of importance. If Dallas dominates the ground like they did last week at Tennessee than STL is going to get wear down and rely on HILL or Davis to win the game. I like Austin Davis's play so far but keep in mind that tavon Austin is out today. That and no Chris Long creates is a huge issue for STL all around.
