50 DIME - DALLAS COWBOYS - (if your line is 2 1/2 you buy the half and lay 2, if it's 1 1/2 you buy the 1/2 and lay 1. Don't ever get beat by the hook. - All Cowboys today.
First and foremost, when the Giants barely won the first meeting in Dallas on Sunday night week two, they were given 4 turnovers by the Cowboys, had a pair of 100 yard receiveing games from Manningham and Smith and still only won the game by 2 points 33-31.
Lost in the shuffle of Tony Romo's 13 of 29 performance for a 129 yards and 3 INT's, was the fact the Cowboys rushed for 251 yards against a pretty healthy Giants defense.
Now facing a Giants team that is reeling, and I do mean reeling as they have lost 5 of their last 6 SU and 0-6 ATS, this game today is flat out a case of two teams heading in opposite directions.
The big change for Dallas is offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and his decision to run the ball more and get Tony Romo in more favorable passing situations.
Also favoring the Cowboys here is the emergence of Austin at wide receiver thus opening up the middle for Witten.
The Giants are having huge problems on the defensive side of the football and you saw just how far they fell last Thursday at Denver.
You factor in Eli Manning not being 100% and you can see where things just weren't meant to be for the Giants this year.
Dallas has all the momentum in the world where New York doesn't and you can use all the pep talks you want but reality is reality, and when you have lost 5 of your last 6 games the reality is you are just not a very good football team.
Folks, you get to the 2nd half of the season and you have lost 5 of your last 6 games that tells me you just don't have it. Teams are attacking you where you are most vulnerable and there just isn't anything you can do to stop it.
There is a reason the Giants have allowed 14 sacks in their last 5 games. There offensive line is beat up and injured and their QB is masking the fact his foot is causing all kinds of problems.
As I already said above, this game today is about two teams heading in opposite directions and I will jump all over the team going the right way.
My 50 dimer today is on the Dallas Cowboys as they handle their business and get the job done against a free falling Giants team that will fall further into the abyss with this loss today.
25 DIME - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS - (if line is 4 1/2 you buy the 1/2 and lay 4. - Feel sorry for the Dolphins today.
One of the worst things you can have to face as a football team in the NFL is facing a Bill Belichick team off a loss.
In their last 21 games off a SU loss the Patriots have won 18 of those. Think about that, 18-3 SU their last 21 off a loss.
Just look at this year and what they have done after their first 3 losses.
Off a 16-9 loss to the Jets they came back home and handled the Falcons 26-10 covering the 4 1/2 number. Off their 20-17 loss at Denver they came back home and just destroyed Tennessee 59-0.
And off their 35-34 loss at Indy, they came home to hammer the Jets 31-14.
Now they face a Dolphins team who starts 2 rookies at cornerback and an angry Tom Brady. Not a very good situation for the Dolphins at home.
In the first meeting 4 weeks ago, the Patriots won 27-17 in a game that really wasn't that close.
New England had 432 yards to the Dolphins 334, and it was only a broken play with Pat White at QB that set up the covering TD for the Dolphins.
I fully expect the blown coverages and assignments by the New England secondary on Monday night to be fully corrected against Chad Henne and an average at best receiving core of the Dolphins. This game sets up very well for New England.
Here is one more mind blowing statistic for you: New England has covered 13 of their last 15 conference road games. 13 of 15 folks.
That is good enough for me as Randy Moss and Wes Welker run wild on this very young and very beatable Miami secondary, Tom Brady has a huge day and New England runs away with a double digit win.
