What is the point spread in the footbal gamme with Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles?

Another close game as picked by most sportsbooks today is the Dallas Cowboys against the Philadelphia Eagles. The sportsbooks as well as the fans are calling this week’s NFC East showdown game as a squeaker. The books has Dallas winning by 1 point.

Going into this game both teams are at 3 wins and 5 losses. If you look at the conference standings though it isn’t as close. Philadelphia is 1 and 4 in the NFC but Dallas is 3 and 4. This puts both teams in a must win situation. Talk about incentive for the players to be fired up and this sure is it.

Both teams have decent quarterbacks with the potential to win games, but when you look at the defenses those offenses will be up against is where things change.

Sure Michael Vick, quarterback for the Eagles has had controversy surrounding him off the field, but today we want to talk football. Besides the occasional mistake that any quarterback can make while making a throw, they need an offensive line that protects them.

This is one of the things that makes Vick’s job so difficult and today will be no different. I look for the Cowboy defense to go after Vick from the beginning of the game and not letting up on him in all 4 quarters.

Outside linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer will be all over Vick and have him on the move the whole game. Sean Lee and Bruce Carter (ILB) will be there to assist as well as helping keep an eye on the inside.

The toughest job the Cowboys defense will have to containg LeSean McCoy runningback on the outside and also keeping an eye out for Vick to pick a hole and running it himself.

On the offense we Tony Romo as quarterback with over 2000 yards and hitting his receivers over 66% of the time. The Eagles will try to keep him on the move and force mistakes but I really think that the Cowboys offensive line will not allow the penetration and give Romo enough time in the pocket to do his job.

Overall even though the books have the Cowboys as single point winners, I personally think they should have no problem meeting the spread. In fact I will pick the Cowboys to beat the Eagles by 3.
