That's about what I would have guessed. Probably one of the last times this year they'll be favored by less than a touchdown.

Easy Money.

Wow. Where's the respect for America's team? Tony Romo the league's new superstar. Terrel Owens the leagues best receiver. Marion Barber the leagues best RB. That Wade Phillips defense with all those high draft picks?

Dallas should be a 3-point favorite at least.

Wow.

That's pretty generous.

I was gonna say 2 or 3 tops.

But historically, the Pats are BIG in high profile big games more than not.

If you assume that home field advantage is worth 2.5 points, then it would be the Pats by 7 on a neutral field which explains the 4.5...........

The Patriots will win by 10+, more like 13 or 14.

They had 7 Pro Bowlers last year and we only had 2. They are the better team. We shouldn't even bother flying out to DTW.

I called -4.5 in another thread yesterday.

Where exactly did you find that line?

Good Im glad its less than 7, I am getting tired of squeezing for a blowout every weekend, being up by ten and wishing for a another score is staring to border on the ridiculous btw Thanks Randall Gay for last week!!

I thought it was 3 for home field advantage, which would be 7.5 on a neutral field?

Anyway, I'm fairly certain that Dallas' poor showing against the Bills has something to do with the line. But I think we all know the Cowboys are not going to suck as badly as they did last night. Then again, the Pats aren't going to be as sloppy as they were Sunday, hopefully.
