Washington at Dallas

The Washington Redskins had too many games last year where they just could not score a sufficient amount of points to post wins. They brought in Donovan McNabb to hopefully ignite a lethargic offense but obviously that hasn't been the answer. With the team averaging just 18.3 points per game, McNabb has been benched in favor of Rex Grossman. If you are putting Rex Grossman in for a spark, you are in REAL trouble. Long time subscribers of mine know my opinion of Grossman - he shouldn't even be in the NFL. The Skins went 11 games last year without scoring 20 and already have nine, and counting, this year. Their offensive woes in the last month show them at under 20 in each of their last four, averaging 13.8 points per game. The kicking game has gone south and cost them dearly last week. This is a team that has topped the 20 mark now just ten times in their last 40 games, or 20% of the time. If their offense doesn't improve (and why would it, under Grossman), Dallas would have to score 30 here to push this one over the total. That's something the Cowboys have done just four times in their last 22 games. The first game these two teams played finished at 13-7 and was posted with a total of 39.5. Washington is now 12-4 UNDER in their last 16 as a road dog of 3.5-10. The last four in this series have all gone UNDER averaging just 18.5 total points scored! I like the UNDER in this one.
