Dallas -6.5 over Green Bay?

[Homerboy]

Thought the spread would be a bit closer than that....

 

[Scarpozzi]

What hurt them was the loss to the Pats and the near loss to Buffalo. They're not invincible....just good.

As for Farve and his crew, they have a shot if their defense can shut down T.O. and Witten.

 

[RaistlinZ]

Probably because it's being played in Dallas, and Farve is 0-8 in his career there. If it was being played in Green Bay I'm sure they would be the favorites.

 

[rise]

well, -3 pts for the home team...

sounds about right to me. i'd imagine it may get bet down to 5.5

That's about the biggest thing I can think of.... though Favre has already crossed off Mile High and Arrowhead this season too. This just may be his golden year.

I haven't heard word on the injuries the Pack suffered either (Woodson, etc... though I think Cole is 100% out of the game). Harris on TO should be very interesting.

You get 3 points for home field, basically they are saying these teams are fairly matched and should play to within a field goal of each other.

That's a monstrous "if".

 

[torpid]

Sounds about right. Dallas seems to be more consistent than GB.

Oh I dunno... Harris and Woodson (f he plays) have pretty much shut down everyone thus far. It should... WILL be TO's biggest test of the season I think, and vice versa.

Hopefully should be tremendous game. Can not wait.

 

[sciencewhiz]

Sagarin has Dallas as 3.5 point favorites on a neutral field, but this year he only has a 1.5 point HFA.

 

[Slick5150]

That line should narrow a bit by Wednesday. I'd say a 5-5.5 spread sounds right. The HFA for some teams isn't worth much, but for Dallas in a primetime game against Green Bay, its definitely worth the 3 points and then some. I'd say the same if the game was in Green Bay and would probably have the Packers favored by 4 or 5 or so.

Dallas to win the game, Packers to cover the spread.

I'm pissed that it's on the NFL Network.

So is 98% of the state of Wisconsin and the rest of the Nation I think. (thank jeebus for the "Lambeau Gold Ticket Package" and the game being carried locally in Milwaukee.

NFL is getting pretty cocky with such maneuvers and airing games.

I'm not confident enough on Dallas to bet the money line.

I am confident enough to put money down on Packers covering the spread.

If you can't handle "the buffering effect" just record the game and watch it later.
