Just heard Justin Durant is OUT. That's a big loss as well. Linebacker spots very thin for Dallas now that Durant, Lee and Hitchins are all OUT.

I always thought that Dez Bryant was and still is a rather pedestrian #1 WR.

It's annoying how Michael Irvin ALWAYS talks about him.

Best of Luck on what you choose

I agree with you that the games against Phi/LAC are fresh in the minds of bettors and public.  One concern I have backing Dal in this spot is that Garrett is not a good coach, having a week off and being at home again, I don't expect Garrett to do anything except cheer his guys on... Gruden is an average coach but he does have one thing going for him... if he needs advice he can call his brother and that to me is huge. Cousins always seems to make a big play while Dak is a deer in headlights.

Achilles, I caution anybody thinking about backing Dallas. This is a bit strange coming from me, because I’m the first one to look for an NFL setup. Such a short line against a team that has looked like sh@t sure does look like the NFL is baiting Wash backers. But, I see it differently.

I believe the league loves it’s off field drama and it’s ready to inject some big news. The big news I speak of is Jason Garrett finally getting canned. We need to see one more embarrassment on national TV and then the fans will start calling for his head. And when the playoff hopes are gone, his head will roll… and the media will eat it up. Then for the next few months, we’ll get to hear about who will be the next Dallas coach,  etc, etc. It’s coming and this is the game that really starts the process.

 Washington -1

I'm not trying to talk garbage. I'm just saying this line only doess one thing and it's convince people that cowboys will make a comeback 



But I see 70% of the Public on Redskins, do is it really working?

going to add.

these teams are just about evenly matched considering all the injuries on both sides but the Redskins have made the most out of their predicament and played more consistently as a team. the Redskins are the better team tonight offensively and defensively. 9 times out of 10 i will take the better defense in this matchup and that belongs to the Redskins. most of the Cowboys roster are either a bunch of overpaid talent or are talentless hacks. year after year same old dance and song. 

the week 8 score of 33-19 might be a little misleading because of 3 crucial turnovers by the Redskins. 1 was on special teams, a FG block ran all the way back the Skins 1 yd line and easy run in by Zeke to make it 14-13 Cowboys lead. another was a sack fumble by Cousins in their own territory led to a FG and then a Cousins pick six in the final minute to seal the game for the Cowboys at the end in which was essentially a one score game throughout. that was the difference of the game. Turnovers could once again be the deciding factor here...

Since then the Cowboys offense have given up 8 turnovers while the defense has only forced 2 turnovers. the Skins offense have given up 3 turnovers while defense has forced 6 turnovers in the same time frame. Redskins have taken better care of the ball lately. the Cowboys got lucky last time but i don't think so tonight..
Sip on that plus money honey!

Also going to add...the weather for that game was heavy heavy rain. Advantage to Dallas for Zeke on the run game in that game.

My .02, and what no one is talking about:

I think some of the Cowboys may have quit because of the way Jerry Jones came out so strongly against the anthem protests a few weeks ago.

 Like Trump, Jones is an extremely wealthy, arrogant white guy. As such, he has no clue as to what those protests are actually about. He simplistically views them as unpatriotic when well paid black men show 'disrespect' by kneeling during the national anthem. The truth is that every player in the league knows someone who has been roped off or shot by the police. How could a rich guy like Jones understand such a injustice? Answer, he can't.

We reap what we sow in this world, and I believe that Jones with his lack of understanding has sown some bad seeds. I may be wrong, but for this reason I won't be putting any money on the Boys for a while. Good luck if you do.

Too much protesting about whats wrong with the USA and not enough understanding by our citizens.  Stand on the corner of any city and watch how people ignore each other. Our young folks have not been educated in how to show class.  Where does politics fit in with any sporting event?  I love football but it has become so politically corrupt.  Jones has not lived in my world but he does live in the USA.  Lets play football and enjoy the competitive nature in all of us.  

The play on tonights game Imho is over the total of 44 1/2.

Take advantage of the depleted Cowboys line-backing corps.

V.Davis Over 47½ yards -125. 

Line moved to -145 30 minutes ago.

Dallas backers coming out of the woodworks. Gonna be an interesting one tonite. I will say this before the game so the jagbags don't get their undies in a wad again: on paper, this is an easy lay up for the redskins offense. They SHOULD be able to dissect the Cowboys eith ease. Like the Steelers game though a few nites ago we saw a po dunk offense with a banged up defense hand with a top 5 team in the league all game. Let's see what happens tonite. If we get a clean game, redskins should roll but if not l, Dallas will be in this until the end. Good luck all!

Isn't it sad that Washington has literally handed two turnovers to Dallas yet Dallas can't get a first down? Is it gonna be a sequel to the Steelers game?

Dallas has scored 2 times in their last 34 drives and counting. They are horrible. I will not bet on Dallas until they prove, on the field, that they can score.

Look how hard both teams tried there to get Dallas that TD. Two turnovers, a ball downed on the 1. Multiple penalties. Holy cow! I was beginning to just say, put the ball at the 1 and let's call it a day. Just give them the damn TD. Can we play football now? I could care less who wins but another prime time game where we have to watch this is too much for me. It's kind of like the playground basketball game you play against the weaker team. I will spot you 7, now let's play. That is exactly what just happened. Time for football please or I will have to resort to the puppeteer league almost as bad as the NFL....the NBA.

Achilles buddy, whats happened to you over the past little while? Youve really changed, and it doesnt suit you....a great capper like yourself seems too much involved in the theatrics of sport rather than focusing on the end result.

Come back to us...
