ok, this is one of those games where you don't want to overanalyze it. Let's throw the X's and O's out the window. Because let's face it...both of these teams are overated (and I'm a diehard Dallas fan) and both suck (at times, Philly more so in my opinion).
Points to look out for
1) Both teams are coming off a loss and it's do or die literally for both teams. Dallas controls their own fate..win and they are in. Philly needs a win plus some help. I think Phily needs Minn to lose or something to that effect. PHilly might be out of the playoffs by game time.
2) when 2 teams from the same div are facing each other...the loser of the 1st game usually wins the rematch over 60% of the time. Something for Dallas backers to think about. I know...alot of betters got burned on Dallas v Balt and the under. If you read my thread..I did say that Romo is an int machine. PLus T.O. is good for a drop or 2 in this one with the Philly crown sure to boo him consistently.
3) it's cold in Philly. and Dallas just doesn't like the cold. To be honest, I really dont' have alot of faith in Dallas..but I know Philly with Reid and Mcnabb is a choke job waiting to happen.
The over/under total looks good for this one. both teams are good for 20 each. I think the winner will be the 1st one to 25 or 30. It probably won't be a shootout like the 1st matchup, but
The Over appears to be where it's at. Dallas hatas might want to really handicap this rather than thinking "Dallas sucks and is on the road" . Skip Bayless said that Philly is the best team in the NFC...and that was about 2 weeks ago on ESPN first Take in a debate with former ATL RB Jamal Anderson. Jamal picked Carolina. I think both were wrong. I'm thinking NY is the best team in the NFC as of tod.
I want to wish good luck and a Merry Xmas to bettors on both sides. Especially to W8lifter. You looked like a real tool with calling me a fade job after your horrible weekend. You muffed up the Carolina V NY game, New Orleans V Detroit game (Detroit..Really?), and the Pitt V Tenn Game. You lost all credibility with all of those losses dude. I would rather be a fade job than brag about a Carolina/ Troy Parlay. LMAO....you did look like an arrogant SOB that day. yeah, I messed up last week on Dallas and the under, but look at my other picks for the games mentioned above. I had New Orleans as my lock.
Spytheweb.....I have to admit you are right about Dallas being an inconsistent team. THe proof is in the pudding and Dallas know deep down that Romo will never Lead Dallas to the promised land. I would be happy and satisfied just to see Dallas in the playoffs. I know that Dallas had 1 and done written all over them if they even make it to the postseason. I'm hoping Pacman and Wade Phillips are gone for the 09. If not...it will be more of the same for next year.

dddevin, I agree with most that you have said, but the Dallas D has been playing good as of late, with the exception of the late runs in the Baltimore game. I feel as of today Dallas is the better team in this game. I know Romo has been flagged as a an Interception machine in big games but you can bet your ass that J. Jones will be in that locker room and at practice this week letting his team know what is expected of them this week. Reid and Mcnabb are a choke job waiting to happen, with that said, I see Romo having a good day which he needs to have to get that monkey off his back, I also feel TO or R. Williams will have a nice day, and if you can contain B. Westbrook from beating you then the Dallas D should be able to contain the wideouts for the Eagles.

How can you say the word choke without immediatley following it by cowboys or the name tony romo?? This is a classic romo choke situation!! Look at what philly did to the giants at home, it will be cold and windy as hell. Eli couldnt throw the ball 10 yards. This game will be decided by playmakers. The biggest playmaker on the field by far will be Westbrook. Cowboys will not stop the shovel pass. It might be a different situation if Barber gave two shits about his team and played. 70,000 fans that HATE T.O and the cowgirls and a very shady dallas team equals an embarrassing loss for dallas. Look at the bright side dallas fans...Wade's Gone!!
Not much on trends but DAMN....
DAL are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games in December.
Philly= Get your ready T.O

Philadelphia can clinch a playoff berth with a win and losses by Tampa and Chicago. Both Tampa and Chicago play in the morning games. So by game time Philadelphia may be eliminated no??
This will totally affect the result of this game

Emotion will be on the Eagles side, the fans will be on the Eagles side, the weather will be on the Eagles side. You have a team coming from the west to play on the east coast. Blitz happy Eagles will be all over Romo, and Romo cracks under pressure, did you see those punts he throw up against the Ravens? The playoff nazi: Hey Dallas, no playoffs for you.
BTW, next year the Dallas Cowbillies become a true dome team, not just a dome team with a hole in the roof.
Good teams win games, Great teams cover the spread!

I'm not even trying to pick here - Philly's come on strong lately, while the Cowgirls have become "inconsistent" - to put it mildly. I'm betting my money on other games - good luck everybody, no matter who you pick.....

You all know i am a Cowboys fan by now. these games have screwed me because i am persuaded by my heart.
this game is 50/50
The fact remains the cowboys are the better team and have been the better team against most all opponants all year.
As a team they have a great deffensive group
on offense they have alot of talent, more than most everyone else.
but the fact also remains, with hamlin and henry playing on the defense, they could get burned like i have said before. hamlin was the guy who let the ravens run those 2 scampers all the way by not making the tackle. Henry will get burned through the air all the time or just plain tackle the reciever and get called. They both suck big time.
potential is nothing, performance is everything.
and then there is Romo;
I have lost all confidence is the guy. He looses all big games.
It is december and they cant win in december and they are at the eagles, which is loud if you have ever been there you know.
Its hard to bet Cowboys games because of this. then the fact that they keep getting stupid penalties.
Again as Parcells said; Potential is nothing, performance is everything.
chemistry is better than talent, look at the red sox and the Yankees
Im pissed at Romo and pissed that hamlin and henry actually are employed still.

nice post. I honestly didn't know you were a fellow Cowboys fan. I've been skewered on here so many times, I couldn't tell how many Dallas fans there were on here. I can tell why there are still Raider's fans. cheering for Dallas is like being a woman in an abusive relationship..it doesn't matter how many times Jerry Jones slaps us fans in the face.....I honestly believe there is going to be light at the end of the tunnel. I actually still like Romo. There is a reason that Dallas fans fell in love with him in the 1st place. Honestly, whenever I've listed handicapping advice on here, I've used just straight logic...I honestly didn't bring my feelings into it. There have been times I've cheered against Dallas as well....espeically during the Barry Switzer years. Ole Barry couldn't get fired fast enough for me.
Having said that....we've been down this road before and a good example is the 2005 ( I think) season where Bledsoe 1st played for Dallas. I hate to say it..but Romo is looking more like Danny White than anything close to Aikman. Overall, I would take Romo way before I would take Mcnabb. Some of the players that you mentioned like Ken Hamlin really are good. I'm thinking Romo has about 2-3 yrs left to lead Dallas to glory which will happen in some shape or form. (at least a NFC title game appearance). LOWERED EXPECTACTIONS HERE. ......all I want for Dallas is just one measly playoff game appearance...I really don't care if they even win that game

These are two teams destined for major changes having underachieved BIG time... Offensive coordinator for Dallas is a joke and Andy Reid needs to move on.For this game however,Dallas has the clear advantage as for Philly ,it's Westbrook or bust. Wild card setting up for ultimate rematch vs Gigantes at the meadowlands...Sorry Cowboys...GMEN 22 RAVENS 19 Feb. 1 st. DALLAS24EAGLES13GL

Did u actually check the weather or just ASSume, living on the East coast game time temp about 55 winds 10-15 40% chance of light rain, winds diminishing night imte low of 35 not exactly harsh weather. Living in Philly and being a 'Boys fan I also know that of the 70,000 screaming fans about 69999 love TO more than McScabb and Andy combined, these are facts not opinions. Best part of all of this is that Andy and McScabb will be back next year.
Barber should get more playing time and Phila hasn't seen Choice before, he's a much different back thatn Barber, Roy williams could also cause more coverage problems for the birds 2ndary. Also watching local sports reports "The last time i checked that Cowboys are not very well liked aound here and were gonna play this game out no matter what." B Dawk " I'm gonna give the fans a Christmas present and run the ball, alot." A Reid and more quotes are coming everyday. I don't think the Birds are gonna lay an egg if there season is over. IMO the over may even be a stretch, stay away better games on the card.

I'll admit i'm an Eagles fan so this post will probably be a little biased, but at the end of the day Philly knows that they can ruin Dallas's season with a loss... however... I know people in the front office in Dallas, and Jerry has been letting everyone know up front and on the team that they need to sell tickets... a lot.. for their new monstrosity of a stadium.. and that comes with wins... unfortunately that won't happen in Philly.. Every time the Eagles get embarrassed they come back firing.. The entire philly offense (except Westbrook) has to prove themselves after last weeks embarrassment.. If a miracle happens and the Raiders somehow beat TB this game is a lock for Philly..

Cowboys fan since 77. I went to Texas Stadium for the first time last weekend and what a disappointment. Imagine my exuberance when i found out that the cowboys STILL have a chance to get in the playoffs. The playoff gods are giving us every opportunity to get in, but will we?
I am not too confident. Our offense is not completely healthy, its over rated and inept at times, this includes the coaches. Our defense has played well as of late, yet when you give up back to back runs of 75 plus yards for the FIRST TIME IN NFL HISTORY, can you really trust them.
I think i will just sit back and yell at the t.v. sunday.
CMON COWBOYS

Two Douche bag teams, both with douche bag fans. Both of these douche bags have cost everyone this year!!!! I'm not going to try and predict which DOUCHE BAG wants it more. How can you? Douches are unpredictable except for in one sense. You can always count on a douche bag team to allow a lot of points in a big game. This SHOULD be a big game for both of these teams. Let the douche bag score fest begin!!!!
OVER42.5
P.S. The Cowgirls have taken their douchbagery to such a high level this year, I'm not even mad. I'm impressed.
