Tough start to the day thanks to Miami/New England not going over, so let's try getting it back tonight with some questionable numbers (at least I think so) on the part of OLG...
Donovan McNabb OVER 21.5 passes completed: This would normally be set at around 23.5 if not for the fact McNabb has only hit this number once this season. I think he gets it tonight though because a) Brian Westbrook is questionable (quite possibly out), b) LeSean McCoy seems like a capable back, but maybe not the type you grind out games with, c) a big reason he hasn't hit it too often is because of all the big plays the Eagles have been hitting - something that should be alot more difficult against a Dallas 'D' that's steadily improving and d) Andy Reid is still the most pass-happy coach in the league.
Longest Field Goal Made OVER 44.5: This is probably the right number (as far as setting a balanced total goes), but it just seems like a bit of gimme to me. Both Nick Folk and David Akers have the range and accuracy to kick from 45 plus, and considering this is one of those supposed rough and tumble divisional games, I'm thinking I get at least three cracks at this one.
First Half Points UNDER 24.5: Football is all about 'good' numbers and 'bad' numbers, and this is a bad number for a couple of reasons. Don't get me wrong, both offenses are capable of hitting it, but 23.5 is a whole lot different than 24.5. Plus, I just get the nagging feeling it's going to be a relatively low scoring game (when both team's offenses and defenses are clicking, the defense usually seems to win out most of the time).
GL EVERYONE!
