Cowboys offense vs Redskins defense

The Dallas Cowboys offense shredded the New Orleans Saints last week and with an extra day to prepare for the feeble Redskins, the Cowboys should have plenty more success. Playing back-to-back road games is tough for any team but considering the Cowboys have one more day to prepare and the Redskins have one less day to prepare (they played on Monday Night Football), the Cowboys likely won’t have much trouble.

They’ll take a good look at the blueprint the New York Giants left them from Monday night. The Redskins defense was picked apart and the Cowboys will aim to do a lot of the same.

While most sports betting pundits just want to blindly rip Tony Romo because it’s the month of December, the reality is that he has played great in recent weeks. Romo has four straight games with a quarterback rating of 100 or better.

Cowboys defense vs Redskins offense

The Cowboys defense was a big surprise last week as they dominated the line of scrimmage against the New Orleans Saints and never let their dynamic offense get off the ground. The Cowboys had four sacks and two forced fumbles while holding the Saints to just 65 yards rushing.

The Cowboys may get a freebie this week. Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell took a beating against the Giants and he might not play or if he does, he won’t be 100%. Sportsbooks like Bet Jamaica, who usually open the lines (Bet Jamaica Reviews) are keeping the line off the board until more is known.

If Campbell is out, he would be just another in a long line of injuries for Washington. Their top two running backs, top tight end and three of their five starting offensive line are also out.

Outlook

The Cowboys can clinch a playoff spot with a win while the Redskins are already thinking about next year. The Redskins just hired a new General Manager in the middle of the season and they are in the process of hiring a new head coach as well. The team was also interviewing defensive coordinator Jerry Gray and the defensive line coach as well, which means there is bound to be some friction between them and their current boss, Jim Zorn.

The Cowboys will take care of business easily in this game.
