Philadelphia at Dallas

The Romo/Dallas hype machine has been very up and down since Tony took over the QB reigns eight weeks ago. It hit its peak two weeks ago after Romo had led Dallas to a 6-1 mark. Dallas fell hard to New Orleans on Sunday night and things calmed down. Then Dallas smacked down Atlanta last week on national TV scoring 38 and winning by ten. The machine is revved back up and here they lay more points than they should be. We'll take the value and back an Eagles team that has been been playing pretty darn good football themselves of late. While he's no Tony Romo, Jeff Garcia has ressurected a dead team in much the same way. Since taking over for Donavan McNabb three weeks ago, the Eagles have won three straight games. People forget this was a Pro Bowl QB in San Francisco. He had a rough go in Cleveland on a bad team but here he is making the most of his new opportunity. The Eagles have plenty to play for here as they can still win the NFC East. Philadelphia's defense thrives on blizting the quarterback. The only team to have real success against Tony Romo thus far was New Orlens and they did just that. Romo is lights out when he has time and can get out of the pocket. If the Eagles can pressure him and keep him contained inside the tackles, they have a shot at slowing him down. Michael Westbrook is one of the league's most explosive running backs. He has over 1000 yards rushing and over 650 receiving. He was snubbed for a Pro Bowl berth so look for him to come out with something to prove here. The Andy Reid-led Eagles are 25-12 ATS in the second half of the eseason vs. teams at 60%+ SU. Take nothing away from the Cowboys as they are great. But Philly is in a bit more need here and they are playing very good right now. Getting 7 on a team like that represents value and we'll take it.
