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.
Cincinnati vs Philadelphia Betting!
The Eagles will not be making the playoffs are their hugely disappointing season, but at least they are coming off a win, which snapped their 8-game losing streak.
St. Louis vs Buffalo Betting!
The Rams and Bills are still in the playoff race, but the loser of this non-conference game can kiss their playoff hopes goodbye.
Dallas vs Cincinnati Betting!
The Bengals have won 4 straight and are now tied with the Steelers for 2nd place in the AFC North and they are in the playoff picture. The same goes for the Cowboys, who are tied with the Redskins for 2nd place in the NFC East and only trail the Giants by 1 game.
Tennessee vs Indianapolis Betting!
The Colts have been one of the surprising teams in the league this season and they are 8-4 on the season and 5-1 at home. Indy has won 2 straight and 6 of their last 7 and on top of that they already beat the Titans in their house a few weeks back.
Chicago vs Minnesota Betting!
The Bears have lost 3 of their last 4 games and with their slide they are tied with the Packers for first place in the NFC North.
Denver vs Oakland Betting!
With the Falcons win last week over the Buccaneers they have the NFC South, pretty much wrapped up, but their only loss of the season was against the visiting Saints.
San Francisco vs St. Louis NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
When these 2 teams met a few weeks back Alex Smith was knocked out with a concussion and Colin Kaepernick came in to take over and has been the starting QB since even though Smith is healthy. Kaepernick has led the 49ers to 2 straight wins and they are on top of the NFC West while the Rams are at 4-6-1.
Jacksonville vs Buffalo NFL Football Spread/Handicapping
Since taking over for Blaine Gabbert at QB Chad Henne has played well and this Sunday the jags look to win their 2nd straight game for the first time all season. The Bills have lost 4 of their last 5 games and they are tied with the Jets in the basement of the AFC East.
Cardinals vs Jets Betting?
The Cardinals have lost 7 straight games and they are down to playing their 3rd string QB, who threw 4 picks last week and will start again this week. The Jets were embarrassed in their last game on Thanksgiving and while they have the same record as the Cardinals at 4-7 they may still have a shot at the playoffs since they do not face a team that has a winning record for the rest of the season.
Longhorns vs Wildcats NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Kansas State has had almost 2 weeks to get over their shocking loss to Baylor, which knocked them out of the BCS title race, but they can still wrap up the Big 12 title and a BCS bowl berth if they beat Texas or if Oklahoma loses.
Sooners vs Horned Frogs NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
Oklahoma still has a chance to win the Big 12 title, but they need to beat TCU in this game and also have Kansas State lose at home to Texas.
New Orleans vs Atlanta Betting!
With the Falcons win last week over the Buccaneers they have the NFC South, pretty much wrapped up, but their only loss of the season was against the visiting Saints.
Cardinals vs Scarlet Knights NCAA Football Spread/Handicapping
The Big East is down this year with no teams ranked in the top 25, but still the winner of this game will bag a BCS bowl berth.
