The 2015 edition of Monday Night Football pits a pair of bitter NFC East rivals against each other in the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, with the Cowboys’ season hanging in the balance. Dallas briefly got star quarterback Tony Romo back in Week 12 before he was injured yet again and will miss the rest of the campaign as a result.
- The total has gone UNDER in seven of the Cowboys' last eight games after an ATS loss.
- The Redskins are 11-27 SU in their last 38 games after losing the previous game in a matchup.
- The Cowboys are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs in December.
The Redskins have been a decent play at home this season (4-2 ATS) compared to on the road (1-4 ATS). Favored teams are just 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings between the clubs – a trend that won’t appeal to ‘Skins backers, who opened as 4-point chalk.
Washington sits tied with the New York Giants at 5-6 SU for the division lead in what’s been a forgettable season for the NFC East. If the Redskins are going to make a playoff push, a primetime win over the Romo-less Cowboys could go along way to furthering their postseason aspirations.
