We get an inside perspective on how the point spreads have developed for the three games involving NFC East teams this week.
On Monday, the Cowboys made headlines when some oddsmakers in Vegas opened them as slight favorites over the Panthers.
One sportsbook, the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, even had the Cowboys opening as -2.5 point favorites according to OddsShark.
One of the first reactions to that opening line came from Panthers coach Ron Rivera, who called the Vegas spread "a little disrespectful," thereby showing a lack of understanding about point spreads that’s very surprising for a guy who spent almost all of his adult life in football.
