Atlanta Falcons vs Dallas Cowboys NFL Predictions Week 7

by Abe Luciano on Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Atlanta Falcons vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL Predictions Week 7: Shiny new Cowboys Stadium will be the sight for this NFC showdown between the visiting (4-1) Atlanta Falcons [+4½] versus the sports betting odds favorites (3-2) Dallas Cowboys [-4½]. This exciting NFL Predictions Week 7 Game has a scheduled opening kickoff slated for 4:20 PM ET (1:20 PM PT) and it will be broadcasted on your local FOX station and/or D-TV’s channel 713 (713-1 in HD).

Despite having just one loss this season, Atlanta will enter this NFL Predictions Week 7 in second place in the NFC South, because of the Saints perfect 6-0 start. Meanwhile, the Cowboys will also occupy the second spot in the NFC East behind the (5-1) Giants this week, in spite of the fact “Big D” hasn’t exactly set the world on fire thus far this season. According to NFL Predictions Week 7 specialists at SPORTSBETTING.COM, the OVER/UNDER for this, Atlanta Falcons vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL Predictions Week 7 contest has been calculated and set at a combined total of 46 points scored.

For the visiting Falcons, much of their early success can be credited to the offensive line’s ability to provide second-year quarterback Matt Ryan (64% pass-completion, 1162 yards, 9 TDs, 4 INTs) with valuable time in the pocket. Coming into this NFL Predictions Week 7, Atlanta’s O-Line hasn’t allowed a single sack in any of its last four games. "Yes, this is our fourth straight week with no sacks," Falcons head coach Mike Smith said after last Sunday’s victory against Chicago. "Again, that's attributed to our offensive line, quarterback, tight ends, and protection package that our coaching staff has put in."

One great concern for coach Smith going into this NFL Predictions Week 7 game is his secondary. Starting cornerback Brian Williams was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week, as his season has been interrupted because of a knee injury. This is certainly something that could be exploited by quarterback Tony Romo (58%, 1341 yards, 6 TDs, 4 INTs) and the Cowboys passing attack today.

"We've got some guys we feel are ready to step up into that role and it will be an opportunity for Tye Hill, Chevis Jackson and Chris Owens to get some more playing time," Smith said. "We'll have a different look with our 45-man roster when we get to Dallas this week."

Speaking of the Cowboys’ aerial attack, head coach Wade Phillips might have found Romo’s go-to guy in wideout, Miles Austin (15 receptions, 22.1 average yards per catch, 3 TDs, 331 yards). In his first NFL start, against Kansas City in Week five, Austin registered 10 catches for a franchise-record 250 yards and 2 touchdowns. That included a long and timely, 60-yard touchdown in overtime."It was Miles' day," Roy Williams said. "Players just come out of the woodwork in this offense. You never know who is going to have a big day."

According to coach Phillips, the key for Dallas to be successful is simpler than people think. "It just shows you that you've got to play well each week," he said. "You can be favored and all those things, but you've got to play well to win ballgames. … It's tough to win in this league. I've said it all along — I think winners come through. I think that's the big key, being consistent."
