Skins 1 1/2 pt dogs to the Boyz at home?

The point spread is based partly on the public's opinion. I bet the spread opened at Wash -3 and the public pounced on Dallas.

Plus considering the line has moved significantly since the beginning of the week, bettors are drinking the Romo Kool-Aid, hoping Portis won't play, and betting heavily on Dallas.

I think people are also forgetting that just because Romo is back, reports indicate that he and his pinky are still not 100% -- at least that's according to Mike Golic and Marcellus Wiley this morning on Mike & Mike.

Maybe we'll see some errant passes going into the wrong hands Sunday night.

It's Romo of course he'll through errate passes. Plus we like being the underdog. When we are favored we play like crap. So hopefully they're favored by 6 before the game.


GO! SKINS! GO!

That's how our D is going to win this game.

Amen. Go defense!

Have you noticed that all the stories about Romo's finger say that it is "getting better"? Not "healed," but "getting better." I read this to mean that he's still having problems because it is such a duh statement - the finger surely could not be getting worse.

Yeah, now Jones is saying they will make the playoffs for sure. They might win Sunday night, but I am not sure they are a playoff team. If I was Vegas I would favor the Boys also just on the injury report news. Romo's finger isn't 100%, but we won't have our #1 guns out there in Portis and probably Moss.

You really think that Vegas gives a darn about public opinion?

Of course they do. A point spread is designed to even out the money on both sides. If Vegas thinks that people are going to bet heavy on one team, the spread will be set higher to offset that. Spreads are based on the betting public's perception of an event.

No doubt about it. That's why spreads change. That's why Vegas has been around so long, they are pretty smart.
