I haven't bet on an NFL game for at least a decade. If I could take the Giants and get 6 points, I'd be very tempted.

 

[LaChup 198]

You can buy a point. I'd take that bet.

[nobody 2,342]

Hmmm.  These teams are kind of mirror images of each other.

Cowboys on the road can't stop the run against a team that can't run the ball... Coming off a crushing loss.  Should be circling the wagons if they're not quitting on McCarthy.  CeeDee doing the mea culpa kind of indicates the team is not pointing fingers. Pittsburgh next week.

Giants coming off a win against the Browns.  Predictable offense.  Suspect o-line.

Conventional wisdom says take the home dog in a divisional matchup, but this should be a kitchen sink game for Dallas.

I'll go Giants +5.  The lure of the home dog is too strong.

[nobody 2,342]

To be clear though, I'm not betting this game.

[LVSaint429 9]

The Cowboys just look burnt out on the whole McCarthy experience. No spark or emotion at all

[Gratefulegg1973 253]

After 3 solid weeks for Singletary, they now implement a 3 man committee.  Gaybol must have found out I started Singletary

[Law 222]

Yeah. Me too. I started him in a yardage-heavy league at the Flex over G Wilson who has done little and faces the Eraser this week.

I forgot about the Giant coaches!

[Mike FF Today 671]

Did we set a record for flags in the first half? 
 

[LVSaint429 9]

This Dallas defense has no heart. They definitely downgraded at DC from Quinn to Zimmer

[Law 222]

Anyone starting Greg Joseph?

[polecatt 445]

Big 1st half for CeeDee Lamb

6 catches, 94 yds and a 55 yd TD

Got me 25 pts so far

[Law 222]

50+ yard FGs have gotten too easy.

This ain’t your father’s infamous Dallas Defense, that’s for sure.

Aubrey is 15 for 15 over 50 in his career

No kidding and there way to involved with whether you win or lose a Fantasy game. Kickers should never have this big an impact

Jinx!

[vino 29]

why the hell did I run Dak tonight over Mahomes? He had 18 pts at half, I was crusing, until the 2nd half = 1.5 pts. smh. 

Dallas just looked like Shiite. It's crazy.

it feels like they downgraded at every aspect of the ball.. O, D, wow.   But no heart is a good way to put it.. Or, they just have a very basic, no thrills, offense now.. Idk, there was nothing interesting about it compared to previous years. 

[nobody 2,342]

Interesting stat lines for Nabers and Wandale.  12 and 11 catches respectively. 

Nabers is so damn good.  

[Law 222]

Everything was going so well at the half. Dak and Cece scoring bigly points!

Then the second half happened and nada.

WanDale has 26 reception in 4 games...

Yeah, I'm a little bummed out that CeeDee got stuck on 98 yards. One more catch for 2 yards would have been 8 more pts

Been reading about the faskmask call against the Giants that should have been against the Cowboys (the victim of the facemask actually got called for the penalty).  Why can't the expedited review correct obvious screw-ups like that (especially when it's a 30 yard swing on an obvious mistake)?   

[LaChup 198]

I think Dominion is in charge of the replay cams.

They don't replay most penalties do they?

I just remember a few years ago when they decided pass interference could be challenged after the blown call in the playoff game and it was debacle.

Yes, but this isn't about a ticky tack PI penalty or even a non-call.  It's like a receiver was tackled before the ball got there and a flag comes down penalizing the receiver for offensive PI.  I've seen several expedited reviews come down to correct an obvious mistake made by the refs (no challenge flag - just a ruling from an apparent higher authority to correct an obvious mistake).  I thought that was the purpose of expedited review and this seemed to be an obvious mistake - yet there were crickets.  It's also the second week in a row that the Cowboys benefitted from a very questionable call (against the Ravens, Dak literally chucked the ball into the back of his lineman while being tackled in the endzone - no safety, no intentional grounding, move along, nothing to see here).  Not sure if Jerry has got some dirt on somebody, but it is getting a bit ridiculous.
