TX<br \/>\nBroadcast: ESPN<br \/>\nRedskins @ Cowboys lines by BetOnline.com<br \/>\nPoint spread: Cowboys -5.5<br \/>\nOver\/Under: OFF<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Redskins will look to put some early distance between themselves and the Dallas Cowboys\u00a0 in the NFC East when the two square-off under the prime-time lights at Cowboy Stadium on Monday Night Football. Game time is set for 8:30 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Washington is off to a surprising 2-0 start and currently sits alone in first-place in the division with the other three teams knotted at 1-1. The Redskins up-ended another division rival, the Giants, 28-14 on opening day as 2.5-point home underdogs and squeaked by Arizona 22-21 as 4.5-point home favorites this past Sunday. The total went \u2018over\u2019 the 39.5-point line against New York, but stayed \u2018under\u2019 the 44.5-point line against the Cardinals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Rex Grossman has stayed true so far on his prediction that the Redskins would win the division despite their +2000 odds by directing an offense that has been perfectly balanced between the pass and the run. Washington is averaging 270.5 yards per game through the air and 123 yards a game on the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Tony Romo was goat in Dallas\u2019s 27-24 loss to the New York Jets as a 6.5-point road underdog after two fourth quarter turnovers cost his team the game. Last week he was the hero after leading the Cowboys to a fourth-quarter comeback in a 27-24 overtime victory over San Francisco as three-point home favorites despite breaking a rib that actually punctured his lung. Both games went \u2018over\u2019 the total.<\/span> [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">While it appears that Romo will be able to start on Monday night, the line on this game is currently \u2018OFF\u2019 until it is made official. Even if he cannot go and John Kitna gets the start, Dallas has some other injury concerns in its receiving corps with Miles Austin definitely out and Dez Bryant questionable with a bruised thigh. Running back Felix Jones and cornerback Terrence Newman are also listed as questionable for this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">The Redskins are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against the Cowboys overall and a perfect 4-0 ATS in its last four trips to Big D. The total has stayed \u2018under\u2019 in four of the last five meetings, but has gone \u2018over\u2019 in three of the last five games in Dallas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;font-size: small\">Regardless of Romo\u2019s status, this is shaping up as another three-point game for the Cowboys, so if the line creeps higher than that, take the Redskins and the points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"font-size: small\">The Pick: Dallas 23\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Washington 20<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;font-size: small\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFC East\u00a0Game Previews- Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys Date\/Time: Monday, Sept.26\u00a0\u00a0 8:30 p.m. (ET) Venue: Cowboys Stadium, Arlington.
