Yeah saw that yesterday. Dallas opened as 1-2 pt favorites depending where looking. Normally home field is about 3 pts to odds makers. So yeah.... let's continue to play underdog role. No issues with that.

I was wondering if the refs got paid off in this last game against the Bills, but now I'm really starting to wonder who in their right mind thinks Dallas is so objectively better than the Vikings that they would favor them as visitors against the Vikings?

I try to avoid picking the Vikings games in the Pick4 contest as I always worry that I'm not objective when it comes to them (and I admittedly am not), but if the spread stays the way it currently is I'm going to have to change that for sure.
Wow that's surprising
I just wagered $100 on the Vikings to win. Didn't care about the point spread.

That is a surprise. I'm no longer a better but. They probably don't think we can block their D front.

Right now Dallas is favored by 1.5. GB is favored at Home by 3 over the Titans (Yea right :roll: ) The Giants at home are favored by 3 over the Lions.( another :roll: ) GB might win the game, But, How do you justify them being 3 point favorites. Haven[t payed much attention to the Giants . But, they're favored by 3 at home against the lions? with a 7-2 record? All 3 of those spreads are suspect in my opinion.

The odds that matter are the ones Vegas makes right before the game. I would put the money on the Cowgirls myself, but hope Im wrong.

There's been calling out back and forth and name calling but things have mostly remained civil, so I'm going to leave it alone.

Hello Cliff,
Waterboy here. Appreciate The opportunity to contribute to the forums as well as being part of the community here.
Though i am new here, I have followed these boards for several seasons. So, with all due respect, I've sort of
compiled a mental scouting report of the various personalities that post here. Had to know what i was getting
myself into. Been on some sad boards in the past, primarily NHL boards. Apologies if my posts were viewed
as responsible for part of the ruckus. Again, with all due respect you have some stout posters here. With a wealth of
football knowledge that they are willing to share. But, you also have some young posters here with a chip on their
shoulder trying to prove that they are just as knowledgeable. Except, they're going about it the wrong way.
A little too eager,a little too loud mouthed. You know what i mean, unwilling to take a moment to stop and think
before posting from the heart. I was young once too, 55 now. Still young imo lol

Sincerely,
CTV

Hope you come out on top.

I'm neither surprised nor offended by the line being what it is. To me, it reflects a couple of logical things: 1) If Darisaw is out, that's a hugely important piece for us, especially against one of Dallas's strengths, their DL and Micah. 2) Vegas knows that odds show when a team has a big emotional win that leaves everyone depleted, there is usually a consequence.

I still have faith in this team and our ability to beat the damn Cowgirls, but I completely understand why oddsmakers have set the line where they have.

In all fairness, I’ve been on here for 10 years, have over 9,000 posts and am one of the longest active members still on here. I’ve personally met a few members on this board in person. I don’t need to prove anything in regards to my knowledge about the Vikings to anyone. That’s been proved over the years. Again, you and I don’t know each other. No hard feelings taken, but if you have anything else to say regarding me, feel free to PM me.

I was literally refreshing the app all day waiting for the field access video to come out. Great watch. I also wonder who was micd up this week. That should be coming out soon. Maybe Harrison Phillips?

Why? I understand in general that gambling isn't a great way to make a living, but some people do. I may be one of those people. This is my first year of online wagering because it wasn't available to me previously I deposited $1000 and now have $1600 in the account and have already withdrawn $600. As soon as the Vikings wrap up the division I win another $650 on a $100 bet because it was a parlay. I'm having fun and doing well.

Thanks for pointing that one out to me.
I'm going to place a bet on the Giants. It seems like easy money.
$50 bet placed.
