The tides
have certainly turned this season for
the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys
this season – and all I’m
going to say is that I saw it coming a
mile away.
The Cowboys (12-1) come in to this contest
having won seven straight games since suffering
their only loss of the season to New England
on Oct. 14 while the Eagles are just looking
to finish out their season on a positive
note while missing the playoffs for the
first time in years.
The Cowboys had a tougher-than-expected
game last week, but managed to beat the
Detroit Lions 28-27 as quarterback Tony
Romo went 35-of-44 for 302 yards and two
touchdowns. Dallas scored 14 points in
the final quarter to come back and beat
the Lions.
The Eagles
come into this contest having lost three
consecutive games, including last week’s
16-13 loss to the New York Giants.
Quarterback Donovan McNabb has been mediocre
at best this season, in leading the Eagles
to a 5-6 record with him at the helm while
leading the Eagles to a puny average of
just over 19 points per game in his starts.
The best thing going for Philadelphia
is elusive running back Brian Westbrook
who has rushed for 1,110 yards and seven
touchdowns on 236 carries and is just 107
yards shy of setting a new career-high
for rushing yards.
The Eagles, (5-8 SU, 6-7 ATS, 6-7 O/U)
are ranked eighth in overall offense, averaging
352.9 yards and 20.8 points per game and
10th in overall defense, allowing 317.3
yards and 20.2 points per game.
The Cowboys, (12-1 SU, 9-4 ATS, 10-3 O/U)
are ranked second in overall offense, averaging
388.8 yards and 32.5 points per game and
eighth in overall defense, allowing 310.5
yards and 21.2 points per game.
Here is a
look at tonight’s key
trends, followed by my analysis and free
NFL betting picks.

The Eagles are 6-0 ATS in their last six
games as a road underdog.

The Cowboys are 5-1 ATS vs. a team with
a losing record.
The Cowboys are 10-2-1 ATS in their last

The Over is 8-1 in Eagles last nine games
as an underdog of 3.5-10.0.
The Over is 4-0 in Cowboys last four vs.

Analysis:
Simply put, I’ll be surprised
if this game isn’t over by halftime.
The Cowboys are suddenly so far ahead of
their NFC East counterparts it’s
almost unbelievable. The Birds have problems
on both sides of the ball while the Cowboys
are sailing smoothly along. Take the Boys
to blow out the Birds.
