Duckus Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Our best hope is that the Cowboys defense returns to reality this week. Their offense is going to put up 28-30 points. Their offense is extremely good - as was expected before the season. It's their defense has been playing far above expectations. I don't think their defense can keep it up all year, eventually their talent will catch up to them. But I don't think we are the team to expose them.

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 So, the questions you have to ask yourself: 1. Are the 'Skins ST going to have a WTF moment again and give up points? 2. Can the 'Skins offense with Colt McCoy (I'm assuming Colt since Griffin hasn't practiced yet going to be able to score 17-24 points on MNF? I really don't know the answer. The answer SHOULD BE yes. Oh, I think the answer to one of those questions might be "Yes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U C S D SkinsFan Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I hate to say it, but you made a pretty bad bet lol How could you bet on 1) the Redskins 2) Redskins in primetime 3) Redskins with Colt McCoy starting. This could get really ugly! I can see our offense being very stagnant and their offense getting great field position all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexa Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 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 Tease = sucker bet 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 Even with McCoy 10 is a lot. I would take the Skins.

Dude what is your obsession with Bowen? Lol What difference is he gonna make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just crunched a few numbers. Since 2010, average point differential between DAL & WAS = 6.1 pts Total of 8 games: 1) 0-3 pts: 4 games 2) 4-9 pts: 2 games 3) 10+ pts: 2 games On the road, it's roughly a 6.8 point average spread. Our W/L record during this span: 3-5. Primetime games since 1999: 1) Home: 1-14 (mother of christ) 2) Away: 3-3. I'd probably go with Skins (+10), even though conventional wisdom says we'll get blown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I haven't bet at all this season, but I did fairly well the last two seasons. Everyone has their method of handicapping, depends on what you're comfortable with. I think people out think themselves a lot, trying to figure out which way Vegas wants you to bet. Vegas wants equal money on both sides. I would take the points in this game for 3 reasons. Our run defense, I think Haslett has been fairly good in the past at getting Romo to cough it up, and I think Griffin will start. Good luck.

theTruthTeller Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I agree with everyone that says its better to take the underdog with a 10+ spread. It's human nature to want to pick the winner, and since Vegas is all about balancing the money bet between winner and loser, underdogs have a slight advantage with a big spread. However, whenever I do bet in Vegas, I always try to talk myself out of it before I put my money down. Remember, it doesn't matter if the Cowboys can cover the spread, the question is will they cover the spread. There are a couple factors that would lead me to believe that they will. I think the Cowboys probably have been running a little too much early in the last few games because of the Jim Brown record. I think they open up a little this week. A lot has been said that their success is largely due to the running game, which is undeniable, but when they have needed to pass (and when the opposing team knows they will be passing), they have passed exceptionally well (54% third down success rate). They also have been extremely willing to look off Dez and Witten and throw to the role players - especially Williams and Escobar. I don't like any of the receiving matchups this week. Any move that Washington makes can be easily countered by Dallas. Which means it can be an early blowout. I also think that with some tougher games coming up, Dallas sees this as one they need to have in their pocket. I don't think they'll take any chances on a fourth quarter comeback - and by that I mean they won't take the foot off of the gas offensively. With the bye week coming up, I don't think they are looking towards future games either. Of course, the best advice for betting NFL games is bet what your comfortable losing. The only time I've lost big in Vegas is when I bet big - duh!. I rolled over my winnings on a Miami bowl game to the sure-thing Fla. St. over Oklahoma national championship bet. Even the guy taking bets was laughing about what a sucker bet Oklahoma was. I was day dreaming about how I would spend my money right up until I turned on the TV and found out Laverneus Coles had been suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diehard Otis Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I dunno.... As the blind homer of the board, I would like to point out two things for the record: 1) Funny things happen when we play The Hated Rival 2) There's a couple'a ballgames every year that EVERYONE has pegged as going one way--and then the longshot comes through. It's about damn time we get lucky. I say take the points & have a party. The Skins just might do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 What you think will happen: Skins either get blown out and you get $$ or the skins win and you are happy your team wins What will actually happen: Skins lose by 7 & you are out of $$ and have to deal with Cowboy fans all week.

Stefanskins Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hells Yeah!! Vegas opened with us giving up 1.5 points to the Vikes. Now its switched to us getting 2 – 2.5 That’s a 3 – 4 pt swing. Should I ride it and bet on the Skins again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
