5* Best Bet
(NFL) Dallas vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -117.00 Dallas (Away)
Result: Win
Taking the COWBOYS here. We didn't get the cover last Sunday night with Dallas, but salvaged some of that rare Sunday loss fading the Eagles Monday night. So, no Dez. I get it. He is a big target and abuses this Philly secondary. The 'Boys have won by an average of over 13ppg the last 3 times these guys have played. I get Murray is going to want to have a huge game vs his old teammates. Maybe he will. Say he goes 100+ and a pair of TDs. I can live with that. Since I know Romo is good for 3-4 TDs. I am looking at Escobar to really step up here. People forget that he was a 2nd round pick. He has 7 TDs on 20 catches. With Dez down, I think everyone steps up a spot and this kid makes a difference. Let's be honest here. The Cowboys OL is better than the Falcons on any field, home, away, London, the moon. You don't think the Dallas RBs want to make a statement here? Getting points to boot? Sign me up. Neither defense excites me, but I think the Cowboys have the better unit. Should be points a plenty. Might sprinkle a little ML here, +175, 180 just for giggles. 5* Best Bet DALLAS COWBOYS
