“This will be the third time these two NFC East Rivals meet this season as Dallas took care of the first two rather easily,” stated Point-Spreads.com NFL Playoff Picks Expert Mike Alexander at Alexander Sports when asked to comment on the New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys NFC Divisional Playoff match-up. “This time might be a different story as it appears that Dallas just can't more the ball without Owens and how effective will he be if he does play.”
Samson had Delilah, Lennon had Yoko and apparently Romo has Jessica. When Jessica Simpson was in the stands for a Dallas Cowboys game against Philadelphia in mid-December, the Cowboys dropped the cash, failing to cover the 10-point Vegas spread in a 10-6 loss and QB Tony Romo had one of the worst outings of his career throwing for 0 TDs, 3 picks and a 22.2 QB rating.
Simpson will be skipping this week’s game against the Giants, where Dallas is listed as a 7½-point favorite, to avoid putting the hex on her man again, although the two spent the bye week together in Mexico.
Regardless, Romo has struggled down the stretch as Dallas has failed to pay out in its last four games going 0-4 ATS to close the season. Although still early in his career, Tony Romo hasn’t fared well in the postseason either. The Cowboys were able to cover as 2½-point underdogs in Seattle last year but Romo threw for under 200 yards, only 1 TD and he bobbled a snap on a potential game winning field goal.
Although team’s can conceivably cover despite a poor performance from its QB, the Cowboys stand a better chance of cashing in at -7½ with Tony Romo firing on all cylinders.
