So I'm thinking the Eagles +7 tonight looks good.
Edited on Mon Sep-15-08 03:18 PM by Forkboy
Not actually betting on this game, but if I was, that's the way I've been leaning all day.

Factors are;

The two previous games in Dallas both Romo and T.O. were effectively held in check. Some may say this means they're due. Never bet on "they're due."

If said Dallas passing game is held to an average outing they'll have to run. Philly has a decent run defense, and though it was against the lowly Rams, Stephen Jackson is still an explosive back. He only got 40 yards. Figure 60-70 if he were on an actual NFL team, still a solid defensive effort against him.

It's week 2 so McNab is still healthy. And a healthy McNab can be dangerous. Westbrook is the key guy, but every receiver got the ball last week.

Dallas should still win in a good game, but I like the points.

Final score, Dallas 24 to 20.

1. All depends on if the curse of mankind is in the stands tonight...
...but I hear Jessica's doing a gig somewhere, so the Cowboys might win.

3. I just saw the dumbest thing since Michael Haynes spiked

a kick return on the 5 yard line (before crossing the goal line). Philly got the TD anyway, thanks to Westbrook.

9. Yeah, but I didn't expect that kind of shootout at all.
I figured both offenses would move the ball, but dayum. :)

6. No doubt, both teams will see post season play
Dallas and Philly both have killer teams. I'm glad my Cowboys got the win, though. Another minute or two and the game might have gone the other way with all the seesaw scoring drives!

8. Good game, Dallas fans. Exciting from start to finish.
Though I have to say, your team's gotta cool it with the face masks. There were way too many in that game. But they did get us some extra yards, so meh ;-)
