Cowboys Looking to Cover in 10th Straight Game
The Dallas Cowboys are on a serious roll as they’ve stampeded through their last nine opponents in a manner similar to that of a rabid mob busting through the doors at a Walmart on Black Friday. While those Walmart customers will be on a mission to find fantastic bargains, the Cowboys are on a quest to become the first team since the 1992 Chargers to cover the spread in 10 consecutive regular season games.
Dallas is clearly the biggest story in the NFC East, but the Redskins are on a nice run themselves, especially as a spread bet, as they’ve gone 7-1 ATS in their last eight games. They got a bit of a raw deal from schedule makers as they played in the Sunday nighter, giving Dallas a bit of a head start to prepare, but a win in this game could give their playoff hopes a serious boost.
The Redskins have been the team to back when these teams play in Dallas as they’ve gone 8-1 ATS in their last nine games there with each of those wins coming as an underdog. They opened as 6.5-point underdogs which is a spot they’ve thrived in, going 8-1-1 SU and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog of seven points or less.
Seven of Dallas’ wins this season have been by seven points or more and the offense seems to only be getting better. The Cowboys have averaged 32.3 points per game in their last three games while allowing just 19 points per game in that span.
The total for the game opened at 50.5 and Washington is cashing OVER bets with ease. They’ve gone OVER in 13 of their last 15 games, while the total has also topped the mark in three of the last four games between these teams.
