NFL Betting News And Notes - Week #14

•Biggest Favorite To Cash: Detroit (-10.5) continued to roll at Ford Field by avoiding a letdown with a 24-17 victory over the upset-minded Buccaneers. Matthew Stafford tossed three touchdowns for the Lions, who are 6-1 straight-up and 5-2 against the spread at home this season. Calvin Johnson caught eight passes for 158 yards and a score as the Lions moved one-half game behind Green Bay in the NFC North and bolstered their chances in the wild-card race. Joique Bell scored two touchdowns and the defense forced three turnovers, with safeties James Ihedigbo and Glover Quin each recording an interception and linebacker DeAndre Levy notching two sacks.

•Biggest Underdog To Cash: The Falcons (+13.5) picked themselves up off the mat after going down 31-7 at halftime, rallying for the cover. The Falcons scored a TD with 12:33 left in the fourth quarter to pull within 10, and get back in good shape for the cover. However, their lead was short-lived, as the Packers struck for a 60-yard pass play and score just 1:55 later, putting the Packers in line for the cover despite a missed extra point which could have factored in big if the game ended up a 13-point margin rather than 14. The Falcons answered back, then the Packers hit a field goal to go up 13. The blocked extra point ended up not factoring in, as the Falcons scored the final points of the game with 2:11 for the cover.

•Home/Away: Road teams went 7-2 in the early games on Sunday. The only home squads to win in the 1:00 games were Minnesota and Detroit, as the Vikings pulled off an overtime victory over the Jets, 30-24, while grabbing a frontdoor cover. In the four early confrontations that featured road favorites, all four squads (Indianapolis, Houston, New York Giants, and St. Louis) picked up victories, while this group went 3-1 ATS. The Colts (-3) rallied late to stun the Browns, 25-24, overcoming a pair of defensive touchdowns by Cleveland. The Texans, Giants, and Rams all won by double-digits, while St. Louis pulled off its second consecutive shutout.

•Silver and Back:Break up the Raiders, who won for the second time in three games following an 0-10 start with Sunday's 24-13 home triumph of San Francisco as 8.5-point underdogs. Derek Carr outdueled Colin Kaepernick as the Oakland rookie quarterback tossed three touchdowns, while the Raiders' defense limited San Francisco to 248 yards. Carr went 22-of-28 and did not have a turnover while tight end Mychal Rivera caught seven passes for a career-high 109 yards and a TD for the Raiders who bounced back after getting crushed 52-0 by St. Louis last week. Marcel Reece added seven receptions for 64 yards and a score.

Colin Kaepernick struggled to 18-of-33 for 174 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions as the 49ers fell three games behind Arizona in the NFC West and two games behind Dallas, Detroit and division rival Seattle for the two NFC wild card spots. Michael Crabtree had 56 receiving yards and Frank Gore rushed for 63 for San Francisco. Carr guided the Raiders to a pair of 80-yard TD drives in the second half, hitting Reece for the go-ahead 9-yard score in the third and making it a 24-13 gap with a 5-yard TD pass to Rivera with 10:39 left in the game. Kaepernick was sacked on third-and-eight from the Oakland 25-yard line and Phil Dawson missed the ensuing 47-yard field goal attempt, and Kaepernick was intercepted by Charles Woodson on the next 49ers drive.

•Not so Sunny:All three Sunshine State teams lost, including the Jaguars and Dolphins at home. Miami blew an early 10-0 lead in a 28-13 defeat to Baltimore as three-point favorites in a virtual playoff game for positioning in the AFC. Jacksonville couldn't capitalize off last week's dramatic victory over the Giants, as the Jags fell short in a 27-13 setback to the Texans as 6.5-point underdogs. Josh McCown was 20-of-39 for 250 yards and two touchdown passes to rookie Mike Evans for the Buccaneers but was intercepted twice and sacked six times. Vincent Jackson had season highs of 10 receptions and 159 yards as Tampa Bay lost its third straight contest.

•Flying High: The Seahawks won on the East Coast for the third time in three tries this season, knocking off the Eagles, 24-14 in a key NFC showdown. Seattle opened up as one-point underdogs, but closed as 1.5-point favorites to improve to 4-3 on the road. Philadelphia suffered its first regular season loss at Lincoln Financial Field in the past eleven tries. Doug Baldwin and Marshawn Lynch caught scoring passes as the Seahawks won their third straight and remained one game behind first-place Arizona in the NFC West. Lynch rushed for 86 yards and Seattle possessed the ball for 41 minutes, 56 seconds while outgaining the Eagles 440-139 and holding a 28-9 advantage in first downs.

•Totals:In the first full December card, the Under came through in nine of 14 games on Sunday, including a perfect 4-0 to the Under in the late contests Sunday, with the Over hitting Monday night. The Steelers (42) and Panthers (41) were the top-scoring teams on Sunday, as Carolina barely went Over the total of 50.5 in a 41-10 win at New Orleans. Pittsburgh blew up in the fourth quarter at Cincinnati with a 25-point output, as the Steelers cruised to a 42-21 drubbing with a total of 47.5. Indianapolis had an opportunity to pick up a push on the 50 total at Cleveland by just kicking the extra-point after the go-ahead touchdown, but the Colts went for a two-point conversion and missed it. The Colts actually went for another two-point conversation earlier and didn't convert, costing Over bettors for a free two points in a 25-24 win.

The Jets-Vikings game had the lowest total (40) on the board, as Minnesota led at halftime, 21-15 to pretty much guarantee an Over. The Jets tied the game at 21-21 early in the fourth, as New York snapped a four-game streak to the Under in a 30-24 loss. Notable streaks that were extended and came to a close are listed below. The Buffalo Bills have cashed the Under in five consecutive games, while owning the best Under mark in the league at 11-2. Tampa Bay's six-game Under streak came to a close in the 34-17 loss at Detroit on a 41.5 total. The Over for Green Bay snapped a two-game Under slide. Overall this season, the Over is 6-1 at home for the Packers, and 10-3 overall.

Hondo was on his way to a solid Week 14 until the Broncos and Packers left their backdoors open, giving him a 7-8-1 mark. He did manage to cash with two of three Best Bets, which provided some whipped cream for the top of his dung pile.

Giants over Redskins: With the Giants’ final two games coming against the Rams and Eagles, this is the last winnable game for Tom Coughlin, who could be riding off into the sunset. It ought to be a double-digit delight against a team that seemingly is on its way to another RG3-13 season.

Jets over Titans: Mr. Aitch has complete faith in Gang Green’s ability to leave Tennessee with a victory that will screw up their shot at getting the pick of the draft litter, especially now that Geno revealed he has “shown flashes of being a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback.”

Before moving on, let’s give some HondoNation props to the Jets for allowing a TD on an 87-yard OT screen pass that enabled Vikings backers to snatch push from the jaws of defeat.

Chiefs over Raiders: Congrats to “The Ebola fighters” for being named Time’s Person of the Year. Ron Klain, Obama’s Ebola czar, should share in the award but probably won’t because he hasn’t been seen since his appointment. … Roger Goodell was a finalist, but apparently the voters were worried there would be a backlash if tribute were paid to a truth-bending, gutless, overpaid hack.

Ravens over Jaguars: The NFL’s new personal conduct policy reportedly applies to all league personnel. Guess that means in the future if the commissioner says a player was “ambiguous” in telling about how his fianceé was knocked out, and an arbitrator rules he wasn’t, there will be a price to pay. Not necessarily. Under the new policy, Goodell will be in charge of appeals. Justice still denied!

Falcons over Steelers: This year’s TaxSlayer (formerly Gator) Bowl should be an interesting event regardless of the matchup. Rumor has it Al Sharpton will preside over the coin flip, which not only will decide which team kicks off, but also whether the Reverend pays his taxes this year.

Colts over Texans: BarkingMut of SoBe, chief correspondent of HondoNation’s southern bureau, weighs in on the Knicks: With the triangle offense failing to sink in with the players, genius Stephen Hawking has sent Phil Jackson some new offensive schemes, including variations on the Irregular Hexagon, the Nonagon, The Hexagonal Prism, and the impossible-to-defend Icosahedron.

Coming soon to Netflix, a running account of the Knicks’ 2014-2015 season, which will be titled: “Orange Is the New Suck.”

Browns over Bengals: Manziel should forget the whole Johnny Football persona, and just focus on being Johnny Cover. That way Browns backers can make his patented money sign, too.

Patriots over Dolphins: Don’t you just love the smell of vengeance on a Sunday afternoon? That will be wafting through the New England air when the Patsies get even for being fried by the Fish Week 1.

Bucs over Panthers: Obama, responding to the 6,700-page torture report that was released this week, said such actions as waterboarding and forced rectal feeding (there’s a new one) are “inconsistent with our values as a nation.” The Drone Ranger sees no need to torture when you can wipe out people with a remote-controlled missile.

Speaking of torture, being forced to watch the 2-11 Bucs play the 4-8-1 Panthers might qualify as inhumane treatment under current guidelines.

Bills over Packers: Whoopi Goldberg reportedly let one rip on “The View” this week. Al “The Pantload” Roker, who set the gold standard for rectacular theatrics, was unimpressed.

Lions over Vikings: Cops say Mayor de Blasio threw them under the bus after the grand jury decided not to indict in the Eric Garner case. The general feeling is that comrade de Blasio wouldn’t do that to members of Moscow’s politsiya or Cuba’s policia nacional revolucionaria.

Chargers over Broncos: De Blasio also is taking heat because he reportedly skipped former Rep. Herman Badillo’s funeral to get in a workout. However, the criticism may be premature; it could be, as is his wont, he’s just going to show up late.

Seahawks over 49ers: Retired ABC news person Ann Compton said Obama unloaded on reporters on a couple of occasions with off-the-record, profanity-laced tirades. Sources say the ASPCA is investigating — cruelty to lapdogs is a serious offense.

Cowboys over Eagles: Governor Cuomo met with Jay Z on Wednesday about “doing a top-to-bottom review of the criminal-justice system,” according to a spokesman for the Guv. That’s not really fair of the Guv to have input only from a former drug dealer. Don’t the bank robbers, sex offenders and serial killers also deserve representation?

Saints over Bears: According to a study, animals such as bears, deer, apes and dogs, among others, engage in self-medicating by eating different substances that make them feel better or prevent disease or kill parasites. And if the “medication” doesn’t work, they can always fall back on the ultimate cure: licking themselves.

BEST BETS


Raiders (2-11) at Chiefs (7-6)
LINE: KANSAS CITY by 10
Revenge can be an overused term when it comes to the NFL but it’s hard to ignore it in this situation. The Chiefs were completely humiliated less than a month ago in Oakland when the winless Raiders upset their visitors 24-20. We’re going to give K.C. a mulligan for that one. It had followed an emotional Chiefs win over the champion Seahawks. Then, Kansas City had to travel on a short week, knowing that the game after this ‘gimme’ was a huge home contest against division leading Broncos. Classic look ahead and sandwich game. Hence, the mulligan. The Raiders upset the 49ers last week. After that win over Kansas City, they wet the bed with a 52-0 thumping by the Rams. While we don’t expect the same kind of domination, we don’t see Oakland’s 32nd ranked offence getting enough points to stay within range here. The Chiefs are better on both sides of the ball and the timing here is right to exact revenge.
TAKING: CHIEFS -10

Packers (10-3) at Bills (7-6)
LINE: GREEN BAY by 4½
No one wants to fade Aaron Rodgers right now and we can’t blame them. Green Bay’s stud quarterback has tossed 16 touchdown passes with no interceptions during the Packers’ previous five games. Tough to fade, indeed. But what is easy to overlook is that Green Bay has not been the same on the road. Four of the five games mentioned were at Lambeau. The away game sandwiched in there was a narrow 24-21 win at Minnesota. Prior to that one, the Pack were throttled in New Orleans (Saints haven’t won in four home tries since) and they squeezed out a very fortunate 27-24 win at Miami. This will be Rodgers’ first game at The Ralph. He and his mates are travelling on a short week to face a team that can play defence, can rush the quarterback and can run the ball. Buffalo is a winning team that is still in playoff contention. They can hang tough in this one.
TAKING: BILLS +4½

Cowboys (9-4) at Eagles (9-4)
LINE: PHILADELPHIA by 3
This one sets up beautifully. We have the Eagles off of a home loss facing a Dallas team fresh off a decisive win at Chicago. That puts the Cowboys at 6-0 on the road this year, the only team without a blemish as a visitor. With the division on the line, no road game is bigger than this one. That’s because the Cowpokes dropped a 33-10 decision to these same Eagles in Dallas on U.S. Thanksgiving for all the world to see. While two games are never quite the same, that contest revealed plenty about what was to come. Firstly, the Cowboys’ defence had been greatly overachieving. From that game on, they’ve appeared fatigued and sloppy, even during the win at Chicago. Conversely, Philly’s defence has been a much better unit. The Eagles ran into a buzz saw last week. Prior to losing to Seattle, Philadelphia had won 10 straight here. Look for these birds to get their offence back on track against an inadequate Dallas defence.
TAKING: EAGLES -3

THE REST
Jaguars (2-11) at Ravens (8-5)
LINE: BALTIMORE by 14
It’s blatantly obvious who the better team is here. That however does not mean that we are willing to spot two touchdowns with the hometown Ravens. Baltimore has been inconsistent, 4-3 over its past seven games, and now finds itself clawing for a playoff spot as a result. Based on its remaining sked, the Ravens likely have an inside track. But the Jaguars, despite their porous record, continue to play hard. They’ve only lost one game by more than two touchdowns over the past couple of months, a 23-3 setback at Indianapolis. This time of year, tired defences leave the back door open and Jacksonville sneaking in wouldn’t surprise us.
TAKING: JAGUARS +14

Steelers (8-5) at Falcons (5-8)
LINE: PITTSBURGH by 2
It’s like some sort of incurable disorder that the Steelers have when it comes to facing lesser teams. Pittsburgh has lost seven times since last season to teams with a losing record. While Pittsburgh is in no position to have a letdown with the heated AFC North so tightly bunched, the Men of Steel can hiccup at any time. As awful as the NFC South has been, Pittsburgh has already lost to two of the three teams that reside in Atlanta’s division with home losses to the Buc and Saints. Atlanta can be dangerous inside their dome with QB Matt Ryan’s numbers exceedingly better here in Georgia.
TAKING: FALCONS +2

Texans (7-6) at Colts (9-4)
LINE: INDIANAPOLIS by 6½
Both drew easy schedules this season but the Colts took greater advantage and have locked up the AFC South. That does not mean that they let up here. Indianapolis has had its way at this stadium with Houston, winning 12 straight. The Texans may arrive all full of themselves after a pair of wins but knocking off the pathetic Jaguars and Titans does not earn much credibility. Indy will stay focused here as home field for the post-season is still at stake and Chuck Pagano has stated that his team will be playing full out. Houston hasn’t seen a top QB for a while. They’ll see one here.
TAKING: COLTS -6½

Bengals (8-4-1) at Browns (7-6)
LINE: CLEVELAND by 1
Heeeere’s Johnny! The long awaited debut of Browns QB Johnny Manziel as starter happens now and it should be interesting, to say the least. With Brian Hoyer’s recent poor play, coach Mike Pettine is hoping that Johnny Football is the rabbit he needs to pull out of his hat. If nothing else, Cleveland players are pumped about the move and that may ignite the Brownies’ stagnant offence. The Bengals will be looking to avenge an embarrassing Thursday night clunker but Cincy’s not trustworthy enough to earn an endorsement here. Cincinnati’s defence dearly misses LB Vontaze Burfict and he’s not being replaced anytime soon. Look for hometown Dawgs to pound one out.
TAKING: BROWNS -1

Dolphins (7-6) at Patriots (10-3)
LINE: NEW ENGLAND by 7½
We understand the discomfort of bucking the Patriots when they are playing at this high level. But oddsmakers are fully aware of that and a premium is included when it comes to one of the most popular betting teams of our time. Pats are good, no question but they don’t scare these Dolphins. Miami already has defeated New England and while the Fish are clearly inferior, they’ve been able to stay close in all but one of their losses. Miami’s playoff life is on the line here. The Fins have not dropped two straight since Week 3 and they may find Brady & Co. catching their breath off a five-game stretch that included Broncos, Colts, Lions, Packers and Chargers.
TAKING: DOLPHINS +7½

Buccaneers (2-11) at Panthers (4-8-1)
LINE: CAROLINA by 3
Josh McCown, Mike Glennon, Josh Freeman, Jeff Garcia, Bruce Gradkowski, Chris Simms, Brian Griese. Imagine 11 years of those guys being your starting quarterback. Now, with the inside track to the No. 1 pick in this spring’s entry draft, the 2-11 Bucs will not want to relinquish their spot as Oregon QB Marcus Mariota is their targeted guy. So while no coach will admit to ‘tanking’, Lovie Smith has said that he will “use this opportunity to give some other players a chance to play.” We hear you, Lovie. The Panthers still have a fighting chance at the division, they are home and backup QB Derek Anderson has already defeated the Bucs.
TAKING: PANTHERS -3

Redskins (3-10) at Giants (4-9)
LINE: NY GIANTS by 6½
Forget about the quarterback situation in Washington at the moment because the bigger issue could be the Redskins’ defence. Either it has packed it in or it’s just simply dreadful. Still, all the troubles coming out of DC has inflated this price to an unjust number. Prior to last week’s results, the projected spread had the Giants -3½. The results from one Sunday does not justify a three-point adjustment. Let’s not forget that Washington trampled these G-Men by a 45-15 count in their earlier contest. Besides, do you really want to be needing the Giants to win by a touchdown after their first win in eight games occurred last week against the horrid Titans?
TAKING: REDSKINS +6½

Vikings (6-7) at Lions (9-4)
LINE: DETROIT by 7½
The Lions usually purr against quality teams and roar against weaklings. The Vikes may fit closer to the latter category but unlike a lot of losing teams, they appear to be heading in the right direction. The defence is a young and talented group that has developed under Mike Zimmer’s tutelage. The offence is inching its way to respectability. QB Teddy Bridgewater is now 4-2 as the starter in Minny, his confidence increasing each week. Detroit has scored some points recently but against weaker D’s and without a reliable running game, QB Matthew Stafford is forced to go airborne. That could create opportunities for Purple’s pass defence.
TAKING: VIKINGS +7½

Jets (2-11) at Titans (2-11)
LINE: NY JETS by 3
Even fantasy owners won’t watch this one. Both teams are void of playmakers (Jets’ Percy Harvin questionable with ankle sprain) and both squads should be more interested in next year’s draft than this meaningless contest. Jake Locker is back at QB for the host Titans and while he leaves much to be desired, prefer him to N.Y.’s Geno Smith in this setting. The Jets have lost nine straight with Ge-noooooooo behind centre. Rex Ryan’s club will play their third road game in four weeks and it comes on the heels of a demoralizing overtime loss in Minnesota. Having to pick our poison, we’ll lean Tennessee.
TAKING: TITANS +3

Broncos (10-3) at Chargers (8-5)
LINE: DENVER by 4
Maybe it’s too early to sound the alarms but QB Peyton Manning could be running out of gas in his long and distinguished career. He’s still dangerous but the Broncos have become a run-first team, further evidence that they are conserving their star for a post-season run. The Chargers match up well here with their aggressive defence, featuring emerging stars. San Diego’s pass defence ranks eight in the league, allowing 228.4 yards per game. Now home for the second week in a row, the Bolts are in must win situation to maintain their post-season spot. They’ll have a tough challenge here but they figure to stay close throughout.
TAKING: CHARGERS +4

49ers (7-6) at Seahawks (9-4)
LINE: SEATTLE by 10
Sure, the 49ers can’t score these days and their coach is said to have a foot out the door. But let’s not lose sight of reality here. San Francisco can still make the playoffs. It is facing their arch rivals. The Niners can play defence. The Seahawks rely on defence as well. The posted total for this one is 37½. Doesn’t that tell you what kind of game is expected, as if you didn’t know? Two weeks ago, these guys played to a 19-3 Seattle win. The 49ers were actually favoured in that one. Some 17 days later, they are priced in this range? San Fran has never been this large of an underdog since Jim Harbaugh’s arrival.
TAKING: 49ERS +10

Saints (5-8) at Bears (5-8)
LINE: NEW ORLEANS by 3
Even Jon Gruden will have trouble finding praise for this one. It may seem odd that woeful Saints are favoured here but that’s a testament to just how bad this Chicago defence has become. The Bears have allowed the most points in the league, an average of 29.1 per games and that includes 75 points in its past two games when the Bears were still in playoff contention. The Saints too have been brutal defensively but they made some roster moves this week to help shore things up. It also helps that Chicago WR Brandon Marshall has been sidelined for the year, allowing the Saints to key on WR Alshon Jeffery. Saints better on road lately and they can control this one.

Sun Dec-14-2014 at 10:00 AM Pacific Rotation: 305 Over/Under 41.5


With three straight losses the Chiefs find themselves on the outside looking in at the playoffs and will likely need to win out for a wild-card spot. It won’t be easy getting the first of those wins against a Raiders team that began the Chiefs three game slide with a 24-20 victory in Oakland a few weeks ago. The Raiders have improved recently, winning two of their last three and last week beat the 49ers 24-13 in a game that they dominated (330 total yards at 5.5 yppl to 248 yards at 4.4 yppl for the 49ers). Quarterback Derek Carr has improved and a running game led by running back Latavius Murray has shown some explosiveness recently (265 rushing yards at 6.5 ypr). This is a rivalry game and the Raiders know that they can beat Kansas City so I expect a strong performance against a limited Chiefs team that has trouble stopping the run (136 yards allowed at 5.0 ypr against teams that gain 109 yards at 4.3 ypr) and has no downfield passing attack to speak of (averaging 191 passing yards at 5.8 yps against teams that allow 229 yards at 6.1 yps). This is too many points to give as my model predicts a 8.2 point Kansas City win and the Raiders qualify in a 500-414-16 turnover based situation as well as a 404-338-13 divisional match up spot. I’ll take Oakland +10.5 (-115) for 3-stars down to +10 and for 2-stars down to +8.5.
**Washington (+7 -120) 26 NY GIANTS 24


Sun Dec-14-2014 at 10:00 AM Pacific Rotation: 319 Over/Under 47.0


From a yppl perspective the Redskins actually look like a just below average team as they have gained 357 total yards at 5.7 yppl against teams that allow 354 yards at 5.6 yppl on offense while allowing 343 yards at 5.8 yppl to teams that gain 343 yards at 5.5 yppl defensively. Their problems have stemmed from their terrible third down offense (#30) and their below average third down defense (9th worst). Meanwhile, the Giants have been just the opposite with adjusted yppl stats that are well below average - gaining 348 total yards at 5.2 yppl against teams that allow 352 yards at 5.6 yppl on offense while allowing 371 yards at 6.1 yppl to teams that gain 357 yards at 5.7 yppl defensively. However, they have been very good in their third down offense (#8) and their third down defense (6th best). I’m banking on some regression to the mean in this game in those categories and that has me leaning the Redskins way. Washington also qualifies in a 13-1-2 situation that plays on certain teams off of a shutout loss while benefitting from a negative 111-199-8 situation that plays against the Giants. My model likes the Redskins in this game quite a bit as well (-.4 points) and with these teams off divergent results (the Giants with a 36-7 win versus Tennessee and the Redskins off the 0-24 shutout) I’ll take the clearly contrarian route in this one and take the Redskins +7 -120 for 2-stars down to +6.
**San Francisco (+10 -115) 17 SEATTLE 18


Sun Dec-14-2014 at 01:25 PM Pacific Rotation: 329 Over/Under 38.0


The 49ers playoff hopes took a hit last week in their 13-24 loss to the Raiders in Oakland and now at 7-6 are projected to be the 8th seed and in desperate need of a win in this game. They were somewhat understandably flat last week against non-conference Oakland as a big favorite and in between games against dreaded division rival Seattle. They are now clearly in red alert mode and Harbaugh has historically been good in these sorts of spots with a 4-1 SU and ATS record as an away dog of greater than 4 points. Harbaugh is also 4-0 SU and ATS in games off two consecutive losses, including wins over the Eagles and Saints earlier this season. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have been playing well but may be a bit overconfident in this game. They are coming off of consecutive dominant defensive performances against the Eagles and the 49ers and have a primetime matchup with the division leading Cardinals in Arizona on Sunday night next week. This is another classic buy low and sell high opportunity as everyone is sky high on Seattle while having given up on the 49ers. I expect an excellent effort from San Francisco and 10 points is just too much to pass up in this spot in what my numbers project will be another low scoring game. San Francisco qualifies in a good 117-65-6 bounce back trend as well as a 500-413-16 turnover based situation and with a good spot and I’ll take the 49ers +10 -115 for 2-stars down to +8.5.
**Dallas (+3.5 -125) 30 PHILADELPHIA 26


Sun Dec-14-2014 at 05:30 PM Pacific Rotation: 331 Over/Under 55.0






In a game for the lead in the NFC East, the Cowboys travel to face a Philadelphia team that dismantled them in Dallas on Thanksgiving Day but that loss may have served the Cowboys well in this game. Looking for revenge after being dominated along both lines, the Cowboys have had a chance to see Chip Kelly’s offense up close and should be better prepared to attack Mark Sanchez and exploit his weaknesses. They also have seen how the Eagles defense wants to attack their offense and should benefit from making some adjustments. Last week against the Seahawks, Philly was dominated on both lines as Seattle rolled up a 442 yard at 5.3 yppl to 139 yard at 3.1 yppl advantage. Seattle controlled the game and ran 85 plays, 40 more than the Eagles’ 45. The Philly defense could be a bit fatigued after a physical game and will be facing a motivated Dallas offensive line that will look to pound Philly with a rushing attack that averages 150 yards at 5.0 ypr. In addition, the Cowboys are well rested having played last Thursday night in an easy 41-28 win in Chicago.


While Sanchez has been mediocre since taking over for Nick Foles, Romo has been having another very good season and despite his back injury is currently rated #3 in Total QBR. He had a bad game against the Eagles last time out and I expect a much better performance from him this time around. In that game he decided not to take a painkilling shot and he was clearly not himself. He bounced back with a strong effort (80.7% completion rate and 7.5 yps with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions) last week and I expect another solid outing from him this week.


The Cowboys qualify in a good 141-68-7 statistical match up situation and my model only favors the Eagles by 1.3 points. Dallas has played well on the road this season (6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS) and with situation, value and a revenge spot all lining up on the Cowboys, I’ll take Dallas +3.5 -125 for 2-stars down to +3 -120.
