Dallas at Washington

The Dallas Cowboys had it all going in the first half of last week's game against Green Bay. They led at the half by a 26-3 score, accumulating more first half yards than any previous Dallas team - and there have been some good ones. Then the unthinkable happened. The Packers scored five TDs in their five possessions in the second half to grab a 1-point win. It was an inexcusable loss for the Cowboys and Jason Garrett should have received his walking papers immediately aftward, but that's a different story. Dallas' defense is the worst in the league, and Washington's isn't much better, so immediately the OVER is play here right? Well maybe not. The Redskins have scored just 15 points per game over their last five, and you can bet that the Dallas defense has been hearing all week in practice, and from the media  just how bad they are. So, I'm sure that you're going to see a different defense on the field here as these professionals react to the criticism. Remember that Green Bay had less than 100 yards and 3 points at the first half last week, so they have the ability. And, Washington just hasn't been exploiting any defenses lately. Dallas is 10-4 to the UNDER in their last 14 after allowing 30+ points. Just one of the last seven meetings in this series has topped the total in Washington. And, in the Mike Shanahan era in Washington, the Skins are 17-7 UNDER at home vs. conference opponents and 8-1 UNDER revenging a loss in which they gave up 28+ points. Go with the UNDER here.
