Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Redskins game is a must win for the Redskins who will be in the playoffs with a victory. The Cowboys (9-6 ATS) are not going to risk huting the majority of their starters but that doesn’t mean they will not want to play their division rival hard nonetheless. SBGglobal.com has Washington as -9 point football betting favorites.
Washington (6-7-2 ATS) has been looking good on offense thanks to improved QB play by Todd Collins, 107.0 passer rating, who has been effective throwing the ball downfield. Collins along with RB Clinton Portis, 3.9 yards per carry for 1,158 yards, will try to win the time of possession battle with a strong running attack. Collins will be facing a laser quick Cowboys pass-rush so it will be important for Portis to gain some early yardage to set-up the play-action pass. SBGglobal.com has the TOTAL at 38.5 points for the Dallas Cowboys vs Washington Redskins game.
Washington can breathe a little easier this week knowing that Terrell Owens will be on the shelf with a high ankle sprain. With Owens out, and QB Tony Romo ailing from a thumb injury and unlikely to play past halftime, the Redskins can key in on powerful Dallas RB Marion Barber, 5.0 yards per carry for 981 yards. Washington is allowing under 100 yards rushing per game and if they can force the Cowboys into passing situations they can unload with their signature blitz packages. In place of Romo will be veteran Brad Johnson. Johnson knows how to play smart football but he has a weak arm that will limit the Dallas passing attack.
