NFC East games tend to be low scoring affairs. Even the Giants demolition of the Skins a couple weeks ago was under 40. BUT if any 2 teams in the division can put up some points when they play, its the Eagles and the Cowboys. However, the higher scoring affair when these two meet is ALWAYS IN BIG D. The cowboys have only scored 17 points in their last two trips to philadelphia, including a 12-7 loss in Philly last December. Philly HAS still played great D at home this year too, and the Cowboys offense has struggled somewhat in its last few road games.
This game's total COULD go with the sides, Eagles win would be very low scoring, Dallas win would be high scoring. When Dallas has played well on the road this season, they have OUTSCORED opponents, not stiffened up with D. So all you cowboys backers should take the over too.
I'm afraid to bet the OVER because the bookies are giving Eagles 3 at home. If the eagles are gonna win, their defense will set the tone not the offense. This line is obviously a FISHY one. Cowboys have played well enough to be 7-1, after giving away a game at home against the skins and playing well enough to win before coughing up the lead last week in Seattle. On the other side, Eagles are 4-4 and lets face it, they are a blocked FG and two 2nd half miracle rallies away from being 1-7. Thats right, they easily couldve lost to the chargers, chiefs, and Raiders, not to mention that a few of their losses have been played while trailing most of the game by double digits.
What I'm trying to say is that it smells like a trap to me. A team could easily be 1-7 is favored against a team that could just as easily be 7-1. Basically the home field advantage makes the birds favorites tonight, and the bookies see this as a pick. Its a trap because the obvious play is Dallas +3. We all know in the NFL the obvious play is MOST OFTEN THE WRONG PLAY. For these reasons, I cant pick a total or side for tonight.
However, ONE stat does jump out at me. In Dallas last 4 trips to Philly, they have scored 7,10,13, and 18 points, goin backwards from 04. Tonight a prop bet is DALLAS TOTAL POINTS O/U 19. From what I just told you, the cowboys have averaged 12 over the last 4 years in philly. Heck, in the last 2 years, they havent gotten to 19 in both games COMBINED. I dont usually take prop bets but this one is GRAVY people. Then you can sit back and enjoy the game without crying when the Cowgirls lose. Eagles can still hang their hat on defense, especially when playin' at home. If you think the Eagles are going to give up 33 last meeting and then OVER 19 tonight, meaning over 50 points in ONE season to an NFC EAST team, you got another thing coming.
