THE THURSDAY TEN-LEGGER

LOSS. Not in the standings. Died on the Cowboys moneyline.

Fun money only. Five bucks, not the rent. Same script for every leg: Dallas rolls, the rookie struggles.

  1. 1. Cowboys to win

    -470 (DraftKings)

  2. 2. Javonte Williams to score a touchdown

    -195 (DraftKings)

  3. 3. Jalon Daniels throws an interception

    -179 (DraftKings)

  4. 4. CeeDee Lamb 50+ receiving yards

  5. 5. CeeDee Lamb 4+ catches

  6. 6. Dak Prescott 1+ passing touchdown

  7. 7. Dak Prescott 200+ passing yards

  8. 8. George Pickens 30+ receiving yards

  9. 9. Cowboys score 21+ points

  10. 10. Over 38.5 total points

Ten legs, one idea. Dallas scores 30 a game. Javonte has six touchdowns in four games. CeeDee caught 17 balls last week, and his worst game this year was still 44 yards. The rookie threw two picks in his first start. Dak has a touchdown pass in every game. Ten safe-ish legs is still ten legs, so it's a lottery ticket, not a paycheck. But if Dallas rolls, it all rolls. How big are you going?

Legs 4-10 are alternate lines. Price the ticket in your app. The book will quote it lower than the legs multiplied out, because they all need the same thing to happen.

Separate from the standings. Doesn't count for anybody's record.

Weekend Recap · Week 4

Locker room report. Week 4 is final.

Sunday's in the books. The dogs ate. Carolina beat Detroit 32-26 on Sunday night. The Bros had Panthers +3.5. The Guru had Lions -3.5. Split goes to the Bros. How Carolina? Empty corners, Bryce Young for 329, McMillan 14-192 and two scores. The locker room will not let the Guru forget that one. Just sayin.

Cowboys won 34-30 in Houston. Both desks had Dallas +3. That one felt large. No notes. Enjoy it.

Best week: glinz, 4-2-1 Seven picks. Didn't spray the board. Didn't need to. Best Picker This Week. Huge. The rest of you can take notes, or not. He already did.

First-week fireworks: ChillWill77, 10-5-1 Brand new to the board. Posts a full card. Goes 10-5-1. Took Panthers +3.5 on Sunday night and cashed the side. Also took the Under. That part, 58 points, less so. Still. First week. Acting like he's been here.

Also loud: beavis_is_gay, 9-5-1 Second-best card on the week. We hid the name last week. The name is fine. The record is better.

Season boss: JerryGarcia, 8-7-1 week, 17-13-1 season Still the best long-term card in the room. Took Patriots +6.5. They won outright in Buffalo, 29-26. Then he took Lions -3.5. One of those aged better than the other. He's allowed one. He's earned it.

Cornholio: sides dog, totals king 6-9-1 on sides. 11-4 on totals. He can't pick a team. He can pick a number. Copied the Guru on Sunday night (Lions + Over). Over hit. Lions did not. Same sheet as Beavis, different sample size.

Beavis: short card, 3-3-1 Seven games. Same Sunday night copy job. Smaller board, same headache. Silence the rest of the slate is a strategy.

fastEddie 7-8-1, jitny 6-9-1, bevisTHEEbutthead 7-8-1 Three guys. Different vibes. bevis took Panthers +3.5. jitny and fastEddie took Lions. Two out of three faded Carolina. Carolina covered by 9.5. Group chat energy: awkward.

DNP: ontheroad and strangedays Sat the week. Season stays 4-11. Silence is a result too. The locker room notices.

Bros vs Guru Bros 10-5-1. Guru 7-8-1. Monday night: both had the Falcons, and Atlanta won by 21. The Bros win the week again.

SNF props, quick Guru sheet went 2-4. Young Over 242.5 (329) and McMillan Over 70.5 (192) cashed. Gibbs 46, St. Brown no TD, Hubbard 122, Goff zero rush. The Carolina script hits. The Detroit volume bets did not. Moving on.

Week 4 is final.
