The Cowboys’ offense has been playing well, but they may be without WR Dez Bryant in this game and that loss may be a big blow, as he has been en fuego in the last few games. Even if he cannot go Romo has a couple other legit receivers and TE Jason Witten. Romo ha averaged over 300 passing yards in his last 6 games and in that span he only has 3 INT. The Steelers have the best pass defense, but their secondary is really banged up and in the San Diego loss they gave up 11 3rd downs through the air.
DeMarco Murray has been decent since missing several games with an injury and he has to help Romo out on offense. He will be facing a Pittsburgh run defense that gave up 94 rushing yards to the Chargers last week and overall ranks 5th in the league.[soliloquy id=”82219″]
Big Ben passed for 285 yards with 3 TD and 1 INT in the loss to San Diego, but he got little help from the rushing offense. He has a good WR corps, but WR Mike Wallace cannot have multiple dropped balls like he did last week.
Pittsburgh RB Rashard Mendenhall is suspended for this game and RB Jonathan Dwyer will be the main back. In the Chargers game he only rushed for 32 yards.
The Cowboys pass defense is solid ranking 8th in the league, but their run defense has struggled. Their run D ranks 16th in the league and even winning their last 2 games they gave up an average of 7.2 yards per carry.
In some betting trends for this non-conference match up the Steelers are 3-1-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games, and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 road games.
The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games, 5-17 ATS in their last 22 home games, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.
Jason’s Pick: The Cowboys are the home underdog, but they are hot and facing a banged up Pittsburgh defense they will win and improve their playoff chances.
Washington vs Cleveland Betting!
The Redskins have won 4 straight to get back in the playoff picture, but will Robert Griffin III be available for this game. He took a hard hit in the Skins last win and while his injury looked pretty bad he feels better and may be able to play in this game.
Kings vs Thunder NBA Handicapping
With the Sacramento Kings it’s not always about basketball, which seems a little odd. But over the last few years the focus has been on the owners (the Maloof Brothers) or the gasoline-and-fire personality of angry big man DeMarcus Cousins.
Packers vs Bears NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
Hugely important tilt in the NFC North. The Bears need it more than the Packers do in case anyone was questioning motivations. Hoping for some “nice” weather to spice things up that much more.
Giants vs Falcons NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
A playoff rematch from last year and possibly a playoff preview. The Falcons are looking to get even with the Giants for embarrassing them and eliminating them from the playoffs a year ago.
KC vs Oakland Betting
AFC West Have-Nots Do Battle in Week 15 – Chiefs at Raiders
Two of the worst teams in the worst division in the NFL will try to save a little face when the 2-11 Kansas City Chiefs pay visit to the 3-10 Oakland Raiders in Week 15. Both teams have been seriously underwhelming all season long – the only silver lining being the fact that both are destined to get a high pick in the 2013 draft.
Seattle vs Buffalo Betting
Surging Seahawks Look to Stay in Control of Wild Card Against Buffalo in Week 15
The Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills do battle in Toronto this weekend with one team looking toward the post season and the other looking toward next season. The Seattle Seahawks will look to make it three wins in a row Sunday and will hope to maintain control of the NFC Wild Card picture while the Bills assume their all-too-familiar spoiler role.
Jacksonville vs Miami
Battle of Fledgling Florida Teams – Jags Head to Miami in Week 15
The plummeting Miami Dolphins host the worst team in the NFL this Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars pay visit in a battle for Florida bragging rights. Both teams seem to have some puzzle pieces in place and both teams will be evaluating talent for next season’s roster so there is still plenty to play for. It may not be the most exciting game of the weekend but there are still jobs on the line.
Denver vs Baltimore Betting
Red-Hot Broncos Face Ice Cold Ravens in Week 15
Division leaders clash in Baltimore Sunday as the Denver Broncos, winners of eight straight games take on the suddenly struggling Baltimore Ravens, losers of two straight games ahead of this Week 15 showdown. While the Broncos have been impressive on both sides of the ball the last couple of months the Ravens have been slightly underwhelming as demonstrated by their two straight defeats.
Detroit vs Arizona Betting
Who’s Losing Streak Will End Sunday? Lions Travel to Arizona in Week 15
Two teams on significant losing streaks will try to snap their funks when the Detroit Lions head to the desert to take on the lowly Arizona Cardinals. For Detroit, they will be looking to put an end to a five game losing streak while the Cardinals will hope to end an ugly nine game skid that culminated with a 58-0 loss at Seattle in Week 14.
Spurs vs Trail Blazers NBA Handicapping
Pass, pick, cut to the hoop, layup. Play defense. Do it again. And again. Every game.
Lakers vs Knicks NBA Handicapping
The pressure builds and builds and builds on Kobe Bryant’s 34-year-old shoulders as the Lakers stumble through the first part of the season.
Knights vs Cardinals NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
This bowl match-up knocks the rust off an old acquaintance, back from when Central Florida was part of the MAC conference. The Knights left the MAC in 2004.
Rockets vs Aggies College Football Spread/Handicapping
Another early bowl matchup that will probably be better than a lot of the action as the New Year approaches. The teams have just 5 losses between them and either can put a scare in almost any team in the country.
2013 Super Bowl Betting Futures
NFL teams that fancy themselves as contenders in what for 14 weeks looked like a wide-open Super Bowl race are like Transylvanian villagers today, seeing a light on again in Dracula’s castle after New England’s staggering 42-14 smackdown of the Houston Texans on Monday night.
