Seattle (+2) at Dallas (1-5-19)

[oldunclemark]

8:15 EST......Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews on FOX

over-under at 43......at the superbucks AT & T stadium in Arlington

 

Seattle QB  'DangerRuss' Russell, Wilson (280 of 427, 3,448 yards,35 TDs, 7 INTs) didn't throw as much this season but he enjoyed handing off to HB Chris Carson 247 carries, 1,151 yards, 9 TDs) ….

Seattle rushed for 2,560 yards in 16 games which is a lot in the now pass-happy NFL. 

Dallas has 39 QB sacks and Wilson was sacked 51 times..

 

Dallas QB Dak "Attack" Prescott ((356 of 526, 3,885 yards, 22 TDs,. 8 INTs) likes his new WR Amari Cooper (53 catches, 725 yards) but he likes his old running back Ezekiel Elliott (304 carries, 1,434 yards) a little more. 

Unknown Seattle DE Frank Clark has 14 QB sacks and Prescott has been sacked 56 times.

When you look at the sack totals, this seems to be a low-scoring game....but if both sides have success running the ball, there may not be a ton of throws

 

Seattle won the earlier meeting 24-13 but that game was in September….so it doesn't matter much

Dallas has won 7 of their last 8 but Seattle has won 6 of their last seven.  Seattle has played 10 games decided by seven points or les and they are 5-5.  Dallas has played 10 games decided by 10 points or less and they are 8-2.

The problem with stats like that is: In a 16-game season, if you play 10 games decided by seven points or less, you're really average.

There isn't a lot to choose from here.

 

The real bet here is the over'

Playoff games tend to get wild in the second half and mistakes lead to points...

there's more than money on this one:  If Dallas loses at home some folks will have new addresses next season.

I'm seeing a +3 for Seattle prior to the kickoff...

..the broken down gamblers like the 'boys

[oldunclemark]

3-0 Dallas early

[oldunclemark]

2 injuries to Dallas wide receivers in the first quarter.

Allen Hurns is clearly done ..Cole Beasley may not be OK

 

Gonna have to feed Zeke....a lot

Clearly done? Understatement.

 

His foot was backwards, you saw it pop on the replay.

After seeing the replay I'm almost positive it prolly broke the skin very nasty break 

[LJpalmbeacher2]

This game iss BORING!

 

I know both defenses are above average BUT both offenses are also lacking.

That was awful.  I misread and thought someone said wrist so I kept looking at his wrist on the replays like "I really don't get it..." then I looked down and was like (insert puke emoji here)

 I actually didn't see the play or the replay..saw him carried off.

You can tell how bad it is from looking at the other players, you know?

Its not a prime time spectacular.....is it?

 

10-6 Dallas at the half..but Seattle gets the ball to start the 3rd

[The Old Crow]

Very bad losing their FG kicker. The Australian rules football guy looks shaky 

[chad72]

Brian Schottenheimer is reminding Colts fans how his QB RW, like Luck, has to make up for his lack of creativity.

[oldunclemark]

      Danger Russ.....5 yards for the TD......14-10 Seattle late 3rd Q...

 

Its the 11th hour for the 'boys

With no kicker......Seattle has to win in regulation, right?

Cant go to OT>

 

[The Old Crow]

I guess they could try with this guy, but he looks like some kind of odd Australian drop kicker. I wouldn’t want it to go to OT with that guy for sure !

[BloodyChamp]

This game is straight out of the 90s. An injured kicker could be the difference. Gruesome injuries. All but maybe 2 big plays coming on 3rd and 4th and short. A 2 point conversion. And the Seahawks might get a stop 3 inches outside of their endzone after this call.

[oldunclemark]

17-14 Dallas...12:23 left...…..and Seattle has no placekicker...wow

[BloodyChamp]

It looks like there are going to  be a ton of big plays at the end. It could be a 31 - 28 game after a 10 - 6 half and 14 - 17 50 minutes. Total 90s show.

[chad72]

Seattle is playing D like 2013 with their CBs but they’re calling it closer the last few years regarding contact in secondary.

[Malakai432]

Seattle needs Darius Leonard apparently to spy QBs.

Cant believe Wagner wasn't the 'spy' on 3rd and 14.

dallas will survive...24-14  2:00 left

 

Dallas at New Orleans..unless the Eagles win

very, very true..Those 'holding' calls werent penalties 'back in the day'

[oldunclemark]

    OMG/Seattle went right down the field for a TD....1:18 left

 

24-22 now..onside kick coming...but Seattle has no placekicker..only a 'drop kicker'

 

 

...and the 'over' is good

[oldunclemark]

Just an awful onside kick.

..and Dallas wins 24-22

[Malakai432]

What the heck was Seattle thinking? 

Just now, oldunclemark said:

Yeah it was horrible, I don't care if their kicker is out.  It would've been worth at least attempting a standard onside kick.  

[BloodyChamp]

I’m a Seminole fan if you remember and I can tell you Janikowski is the biggest primadona who has ever wore a helmet, overshadowed only by some of the diva WRs. Anyway the Cowboys earned it. Dak was clutch. That pump fake was ace.

[chad72]

Colts fans are happy Brian Schottenheimer is not on our sidelines calling plays:
