Stefanskins Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I learned a few lessons over the years.. 1) never bet for/against my Skins (my heart gets in the way) 2) never bet on the preseason and 3) never bet on Kordell Stewart.. But, 10 pts is a lot. Should I put my money where my mouth is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That's a boatload for a division game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanskins Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I thought so too. Dallass is at home and they are 6-1 however, and don't get me wrong, they look "good" but are they really that good and are we really that bad? I dunno. I probably shouldn't. Like I said I shouldn't make decisions with my heart. Never turned out good. I'd probably jinx us.. I'm cursed with a powerful Jinx mechanism.. almost super human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It looks like Vegas is begging for people to take the Skins. One thing about this series is the games are ALWAYS close. But something tells me and Vegas that this one wont be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanskins Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Wilber!! What a bad ass he was! I fear if I wait too long it will come back down to a more reasonable spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsforlife101 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 According to ESPN Colt McCoy is starting. Cowboys may win this game by 3+ Touchdowns. I would take the Cowboys and tease the heck out of the game Update: Per Keim on live Sports Center McCoy will start if RG III is ruled out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanskins Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 or maybe that is a reasonable spread and I'm just a Homer According to ESPN Colt McCoy is starting. Cowboys may win this game by 3+ Touchdowns. I would take the Cowboys and tease the heck out of the game According to ESPN Colt McCoy is starting. Cowboys may win this game by 3+ Touchdowns. I would take the Cowboys and tease the heck out of the game Really... sheesh I was hoping RG might be back I was thinking that.. If I took the Cowboys and we win.. I'd be ecstatic to lose the bet... and it might lessen the blow if we did lose.. but in the end I just can't bet for Dallass. I have before but obviously not when they are playing us.

Stefanskins Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Is Bowen gonna be back for the game? I had heard he would be for last game and don't recall seeing him. If Bowen is back I will take my Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthsideDC Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 No, because I think.....well hope McCoy can protect the football. The Skins D (despite what everyone thinks) has been playing well despite serious injury at every level, but its been special teams and an offense that has turned the ball over giving teams short fields that has killed them (wonder what the total points off turnovers are?). I think Breeland is settling in and the Skins are not that bad against the run, they have had plenty of time to figure out the Boys zone run and counter trap game on the ground. Not predicting a win but I think if they are not constantly turning the ball over they can keep it close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planter Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Unfortunately a 10 point spread sounds about right. It's going to be a long day for our D. Time of possession stat could be scary. How long before Colt gets "happy feet"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hogg Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Division games are always close. We rarely see a blowout unless the Skins lose to the vaGiants. But if I was down to my last dollar, I'd take the Turds. There's a special kind of suck for this 2014 Redskins team. Plus the turds offense should have no problems covering the 10 points. Hazlett is our defensive coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I suspect if the Redskins lose they'll lose big. It's a National Monday night game. If they win it'll probably be tight. So, you're only chance of beating the spread is if you think the 'skins will really win outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleese Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The only issue here is that you are betting against an amazing trend-- one that was broken last week. Through the Cowboys-Texans game this year I believe it was something like 19 of 22 games at Jerryworld had been covered by the underdog. Dallas almost never covers at home when favored and almost always covers at home when an underdog like they did this year against the Saints. They broke that last week by covering against the Giants. And now that Dallas is looks sharper and more consistent maybe they will start covering more. I think the Redskins are actually better than their record. They have losses against quality teams and have suffered some major QB blunders which are hard to overcome. Some bad injury lick as well. I'd say the Skins are a tad undervalued right now as far as betting goes. They had some lead beats" in games they had covered and then lost in last 30 seconds. All that being said, this looks like a stay away game for me. Vegas could be baiting people to take the Skins or it could go the way of recent trends with the underdog having the upper hand. Colt is a little bit of a wild card as well. And will Dallas maybe take this game lightly? Gun to my head, I'd take Dallas, but I don't see this as a strong game to wager on.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah, I think we need to stop with the "close division game" stuff. While it may feel like they are normally close games, the Thursday night game against the Giants, the Monday night massacre against the Eagles, etc. pretty much disprove that theory. If the Skins really stink and are playing under the lights it can easily be a blowout, and thats just the situation we have this week. To conclude, don't take the Skins. If for some reason they do win - you'll be happy enough that they won. If they lose big and you lose money - devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm going to start betting against the Skins. At this point I'd be glad to pay for a win. If we lose at least I'm better off financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
