Gamblers have little faith in Cowboys
In this game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers, sports bettors are nearly 80% on the Carolina Panthers to win at Carolina -5 1/2.
The line initially opened at Carolina -3 but has shot all the way up to -6 at some online sportsbooks. SBG Global maintained a line of Carolina -5 1/2
The Dallas Cowboys are 6 of 7 in this series with the Carolina Panthers since 1998.
Tony Romo will make his first career start at quarterback Sunday night when the Dallas Cowboys visit the Carolina Panthers. Sources at SBG Global report that the public has no faith in Romo and are playing the Panthers hard.
Romo started the second half of Monday night's 36-22 home loss to the New York Giants after Bledsoe threw an interception at the goal line just before halftime. ''Any time you do something like this, it's not without a lot of consideration,'' head coach Bill Parcells said. ''I've been thinking about it for some time. ... Hopefully, maybe as the team is comprised right now, he might be able to do a couple of things that assist us.''
Romo will be the ninth different starting quarterback for the Cowboys (3-3) since Troy Aikman retired after the 2001 season.
Romo threw three interceptions on Monday, one of which was returned 96 yards for a touchdown, and got sacked twice. He did complete 14 of 25 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for a 2-point conversion.
''He's got to be more careful with the ball than he was the other night,'' Parcells said.
The Cowboys face the Panthers (4-3) and defensive end Julius Peppers , who leads the NFL with eight sacks this season. Carolina ranks fifth in the NFC with 206.6 passing yards allowed per game.
The Panthers are coming off a 17-14 loss at Cincinnati. Quarterback Jake Delhomme drove the Panthers to the 10-yard line but was intercepted with 3:50 left in the game on a bad pass to Keyshawn Johnson in the end zone.
''You don't play well, you accept it like a man,'' said Delhomme.
In a 24-20 loss to the Cowboys last Dec. 24, star wide receiver Steve Smith was held to 18 yards on one catch and was ejected in the third quarter.
Dallas has taken five of six regular-season meetings with Carolina, but has lost both of its playoff games against the Panthers.
We believe history favors the Cowboys in this one. Oddsmakers will rely on gamblers believing the quarterback situation in Dallas is too messy for a comeback in Carolina.
But we must first review our team ratings. And guess what? We have Carolina only able to win by 3 points in this matchup.
Our pick is Dallas +5 1/2 at SBG GLOBAL
