Default You know parity is dead in the NFL when....

You see next weekend's opening lines. All 4 games have spreads over a touchdown. In the years of parity, that would never have happened.

Dallas -7.5 over NYG
Indy -8.5 over San Diego
Green Bay -8 over Seattle
NE -12 over Jacksonville

I'm sure someone from ESPN who's still living in 2002 will bring up parity.....the gap between the haves and have nots is the biggest its been in years.

Haven't bet football in over a year,but I don't see Dallas or Green Bay as that big of favorites.

Ill wait for Pillow to hand down the final verdict but I think the Giants getting points is a strong play

Theyll probably move the line to 6, everyone bets the Giants, and Dallas wins by 3 touchdowns

It won't move 1.5 points, that is alot of movement. My guess is that it goes down to 7 and fixutes there. They were giving the Giant fans some hope with the extra hook on the line...

The dogs are appealing for these four games though
