Just how underwhelming has the NFC East been this season? How much time do you have? Regardless of the less than stellar quality of play on the field, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys collide once again in Week 9 at “Jerry World.”
Road teams have dominated this matchup when it comes to cashing spread bets, as the visiting club has gone 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings between Philly and Dallas.
The Cowboys got talented wideout Dez Bryant back in Week 8’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but it’s under center where Dallas’ issues are most pressing. Matt Cassel, filling in for injured QB Tony Romo and replacing Brandon Weeden, was unimpressive once again. Cassel finished with just 97 passing yards on the day and looked uncomfortable in the pocket which was most obvious in a failed last minute drive to win the game with the score 13-12 in favor of Seattle.
