(NFL) Washington vs. Dallas, 10/27/2014 4:30 PM, Score: 20 - 17
Point Spread: -9.00 | -110.00 Dallas (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the COWBOYS here. Do you really think I want to lay the points with Dallas at home? Of course not. Skins have covered 7 of 8 in the series and 6 of 7 here. The underdog is 24-8 ATS last 32 in the series. But I have to toss those trends. These teams are not like recent models. For one, Colt McCoy is making his first start for Washington after coming in for a terrible Cousins. Redskins are 2-7 ATS last 9 road games. The Cowboys have finally found a RB. A healthy Murray has been a beast. The Romo haters are hiding now. They realize that the guy was the only reason Dallas was actually winning since the rest of the team was plain bad. The OL is the key. They haven't been stopped the last few weeks. Murray dictates the pace. Romo then carves up the turkey his WRs and TE. The defense has been solid. And the NFL today, they don't have to be good. They just have to make a stop every once and a while. They have. I will take I am off a losing day. I had some bad plays yesterday. Bears, Tampa, Raiders, Jets, Colts. I had KC and New Orleans. But I laid an egg with some bad teams there. As much as the NFL is a parity league, the cream does rise most of the time. I failed miserably with the Redskins at home over Seattle. I can't see them bring a crisp game here vs Dallas. Gruden was saying how great Cousins is. Cousins is a special guy. He pulled the TO machine and went to a Browns retread. Redskins players have to see the season has slipped away. The tell-tale sign about Dallas was their win at the Rams. Down early, they didn't fold up like previous teams. They rallied and won. On the road. Never easy to do that. Cowboys aren't taking anything for granted. They now things get tough after their bye week. They need to win games against the teams they are suppose to. They have a little hop in their step, and an opportunity to take 1st place in NFC East tonight. Pick the winner for me, and I think Dallas wins this one by 13+. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS
