Buckle up folks \u2013 Sunday night\u2019s game has all the makings of an absolute classic \u2013 remember the Thanksgiving Day game between these two sides?<\/p>\n<p>If Dallas has proven one thing the last month or so it is that they are never out of a game \u2013 there is absolutely no quit in this team! Dallas looks like a team on a mission and despite losing in Week 16 their offense has been top tier the last month or two. The problem \u2013 Rob Ryan and the defense\u2019s inability to stop anybody at the moment.<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"NFL Picks\" href=\"\/handicappers\/\"><strong>CLICK GRAB OUR BEST Expert NFL Picks for 2012 FOOTBALL GAMBLING season!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Dallas has definitely been up and down this season but lately they have been scoring in bunches \u2013 Tony Romo is a threat each and every time he drops back, Dez Bryant has been arguably the best wideout in the league and the return of DeMarco Murray to the lineup has made them multi-dimensional and extremely dangerous week-in and week-out.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas enters Sunday\u2019s crucial matchup with the league\u2019s 3rd best passing game and the NFL\u2019s second worst running game although, as mentioned, DeMarco Murray has made a difference to this team. The Cowboys are 14th in the league in scoring with 23.87 points per game but lately they have been much better than that number suggests.<\/p>\n<p>The Dallas defense continues to be an issue \u2013 they are 23rd in points against surrendering 24.80 points per game, they are 21st versus the pass and 17th against the run. They, despite having a ton of talent simply aren\u2019t the unit that we envisioned \u2013 Dallas has been leaky and far too dependent on Tony Romo winning games.<\/p>\n<p>How about the Redskins? Robert Griffin III has totally turned around this franchise and has them in an improbable playoff position \u2013 amazing! He and the other offensive rookie Alfred Morris are a nightmare for any team going forward \u2013 talented and as confident as a first year player can be going into an elimination game. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The Redskins head into Sunday\u2019s game as the league\u2019s 4th best scoring team \u2013 27.20 points per game. They, thanks to their two rookies are #1 in the NFL in rushing with an average of 162.33 yards per game. Griffin III has the Skins 18th in the league in passing as well.<\/p>\n<p>Washington\u2019s defense had been a bit of a sore spot all season long but this unit has come together and is playing much better down the stretch. As it stands Washington is 5th against the run and third last in the NFL versus the pass. Against Tony Romo and company the Skins defense will certainly be tested \u2013 hopes are that Griffin II can deliver a legendary performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting Prediction:<\/h3>\n<p>A few trends to consider:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The total has gone OVER in 4 of Dallas&#8217;s last 5 games<br \/>\n\u2022 The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Dallas&#8217;s last 10 games on the road<br \/>\n\u2022 The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Dallas&#8217;s last 5 games when playing on the road against Washington<br \/>\n\u2022 Dallas is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games when playing Washington<br \/>\n\u2022 Washington is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games<br \/>\n\u2022 The total has gone OVER in 4 of Washington&#8217;s last 5 games<br \/>\n\u2022 Washington is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home<br \/>\n\u2022 The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Washington&#8217;s last 5 games when playing at home against Dallas<\/p>\n<p>The last time that these teams met, the Dallas Cowboys were in the midst of a small slump \u2013 no such worries heading into Sunday! In what is essentially a playoff game, you have to like the experience versus the youth. The Dallas defense has seen RG III already and you can bet that their game plan will be tightened up ahead of this pivotal game. It all comes down to which defense will get the occasional stop \u2013 I see Dallas limiting Washington a little more than I can see the leaky Washington secondary slowing Mr. Romo. In that case I have to&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick<\/strong>: Dallas Cowboys +3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas vs Washington Betting?
