Week 2: Saints @ Dallas Cowboys

So the spread is Cows (-6.5) 45.5 after the Saints absolutely flame broiled a NFL team by damn near 40 points 👀.

I knew the Carolina Panthers were bad but not this bad.

Or perhaps (the dreaded) we’re not that good? We will find out soon enough…

I think this team will show a lot of grit in 2024.

IMO, this defense will be good (11+ wins) enough to give us a chance each week. Starting with the Cows on Sunday.

Spreads are "public opinion". Dallas fans will jump on getting less than 7. Saints fans will think they should be able to keep it to a one score game.

Spreads are actually odds makers, driving the betting trends.

The Point Spread is Based on Public Opinion. One often-made mistake is assuming that the point spread is an accurate representation of which team is better. Because a point spread is meant to attract bets on both teams in a game, the point spread is set based on a number to draw more bettors.
