New England Patriots at Dallas Cowboys (Pats -5, Total 53)
This is an actual letter from TO to the media and Randy Moss:
Dear Reporters,
Due to the magnitude of this week's game and high volume of questions for the Original 81 about the other 81, I will be taking all questions immediately following Sunday's game.
Sincerely, Terrell Owens 81
p.s. Getcha Popcorn Ready
This one should garner attention from bettors and purists alike.
Venue: Texas Stadium (artificial)
Opening Line: Pats -4, Total 52˝
Key Injuries
Patriots – Game-time decision: RB Laurence Maroney (groin) Probable: CB Asante Samuel (foot), LB Adalius Thomas (ankle) and WR Donte’ Stallworth (knee) Questionable: WR Kelley Washington (hamstring)
Cowboys – Probable: LB Keith Burnett (thigh), S Keith Davis (pectoral) and CB Terrence Newman (foot) Out: CB Anthony Henry (ankle)
Trends
- New England are only 4-3-1 ATS in their last eight regular season games vs. an NFC team, but are 7-1-1 ATS in their most recent nine matchups on the road vs. a NFC team.
- Dallas has a mark of 3-1 ATS in their last four games as a home dog.
- After scoring 20-plus points in back-to-back contests the Pats have a mark of 3 overs and 14 unders.
WOL Playcall: Both teams have explosive offenses and although New England’s defense is second (yards allowed) in the league, Dallas isn’t too far behind in eighth. Expect a close game that will be won by less than 5. Take Dallas to cover.
