So, Dallas at 3-7 is dead last in playoff seeding, yet has a shot at winning their division.

And is favored over Carolina this weekend.

They haven't lost with Romo playing. Can't rule it out.

[Joemailman]

Atlanta has that last playoff spot but they are reeling. Seattle is only a game behind. A Seattle at Green Bay matchup in the wild card round is a real possibility.

car -1 at the moment. dal is going to get killed.

Minnesota's at NYG and then at Carolina might be more appealing than home vs. Seattle and then at Arizona.

[Pugger]

This has to be a joke. Carolina is far superior to the girls.

A healthy Romo makes DAllas competitive in any game. Especially when every game is basically must win for them.

And it is at home. Cowboys will be a handful from here on out.

Does Jerry Jones run Las Vegas? Really? Man, I might just have to make a friendly wager on that one...

Rawls adds an interesting dimension. Their offensive line is still...offensive though.

Kind of. The betting line is set to balance bets on both sides of the ball. The Cowboys have many more fans than the Panthers, so the betting line shifts because too many Cowpokes fans are taking their team.

Saying it in other words, Vegas would like more bettors to put their money on the Panthers.

Do you think that's to create betting action on the game?

[King Friday]

This has to be a joke. Carolina is far superior to the girls.

How often do the Cowboys lose on Thanksgiving? I would guess VERY rarely. Thus, the betting line.
