NFL 2013/14 General Discussion Thread

All the eggs in the Gronk basket tonight, so Brady decides the Dolphins want a head start...

[the sicilian]

The money has come for Dallas this week. The Detroit 5/6 -2.5 with Paddy Power and 365 looks like a great bet. Dallas really aren't very good. They've only beaten poor teams and the Skins so far this year and Detroit are very much better and will be highly motivated for must win games like this with the Division looking open due to GB serious injuries and Chicago not being very good.

I don't really agree that Dallas aren't very good. Their three losses are to teams with a combined record of 17-4 , each by less than a score. 

Lots of attacking weapons, a much improved OL, much under-rated defense that has performed admirably despite being under the cosh with injuries up front after the Denver game. Only really lacking a consistent run game (Murray injured again)

I think it a should be a high scoring game at Detroit (am on over 51 points), as both Bryant and Calvin J could have field days, but couldn't take Detroit giving points away

Think the real bet here is Stafford over 305.5 passing yards on Sky... cowboys give up an average of 291 per game 30th in the league...lions avg 294 5th in the league and megatron in form in a shootout... stafford going to go way over that total...

Shipped in 3 quarters

And almost no offence for Dallas in that time, yet they lead 20-10. This one looking like going on the variance pile, Detroit dominant.

[TightEnd]

Detroit have four turnovers, Dallas none so far.

Offense has hardly showed for Dallas, and still in the game to win it or cover the spread

Comfortable that the Dallas defense is severely under-rated, and the defense is just as much a part of dominating a game as the offense is. So its not really one for any vairance pile, thanks

I don't really want to go into why (I'm sure you can guess) but you should basically never bet a Patriots player for a first TD.

Sean Lee looking fantastic this year but definitely one for variance. Turnovers have a huge element of luck but total dominance in yards on both sides of the ball doesn't so much. Of course they will be unlucky not to cover here.

Did I mention Bryant is a bit handy too :-).

[TightEnd]

Dallas are winning despite a no show from Romo and Bryant behaving like a child

Clearly the better team when at full pelt, would be cruising if the offense showed up

the defense is not just Sean Lee.

That said at 26-17 I could do with another touchdown please, either side!

I don't like the fact that we are often at loggerheads NFL wise. Good luck for the overs! Not giving up on the Lions yet :-)

Going to be tight on both counts!

I get very defensive about Dallas, as they are such popular whipping boys. A weakness of mine

[the sicilian]

Wow Dallas game exploded in 4th qtr... Thought we would never make the points

[Marky147]

NFL is the game that keeps giving!

[Acidmouse]

Another nice comeback from the Pats 17-3 down at one point winning uuuuugly

I just hoped Gronk would have a massive game, but I know what you mean.

Just seen The Camel and Karibiner in the crowd at Wembley.
