Cowboys battle Redskins in Week 3 odds

Washington has the ATS trends in its favor as it tries to go 3-0 for the first time in a million years, visiting the Dallas Cowboys.

The Redskins are 7-2 ATS in the past 9 meetings with the Cowboys, who play after earning a tough OT win at San Francisco.

Bettors need to keep tabs on the status of QB Tony Romo who broke a rib and punctured a lung in the win. They also need to heed a lesson that Eagle bettors learned Sunday - an injured QB might not be able to get the job done and he might get hurt again.

Many of the ATS trends point to a Redskin cover and an over bet here on Monday Night Football. The Redskins are 5-0 ATS as a dog lately, while the Cowboys are 1-8-1 ATS as chalk. [ Free $10 MNF wager - check out the freeby cash and super bonus at Sportsbook ]
