Live NFL - Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys Ch4 1.20am

The Eagles. Poor, clipped, wounded sparrows. Battered, beaten and they've Nick Foles under centre.

Presumably, Dallas will try to stuff the Eagles' run game (their only remaining offense) and force Foles to try and keep pace by throwing to what's left of his receiving corps. I say keep pace, because Dallas should pour it on against one of the poorest defenses about.


The Cowboys are wildly unpredictable from week to week, but they've always struck me as 'flat track bullies' (for those of you reading this on my other blog, who aren't followers of cricket, I apologise: it means when the going is easy, they look aces) and really, if ever there was a team to show off against, it's Philadelphia.


The Eagles haven't conceded less than 28 points since October 14th. They have a -17 turnover ratio, haven't won since Moses was a boy (or week 4) and only two teams have scored fewer points. Their treatment room looks like the hospital at Balaclava and they lost DeSean Jackson during the week.


I give double digits maybe twice a year ... and this is one of those times.


Pick: Dallas Cowboys -10 @ 1.91

Pick: 1st TD Dez Bryant @ 9
Pick: Anytime TD Jason Witten @ 2.5; Dallas DST @ 5.5 (I actually like this bet)
