The Dallas Cowboys, the NFL's highest profile team, dropped a division home game last weekend to the Washington Redskins. Luckily for Cowboys fans they will likely get a quick recovery against one of the worst teams in the NFL, the Cincinnati Bengals. NFL Predictions at Looselines.com have Dallas as a huge -17 home favorite.
Dallas had a seven point first quarter lead against the Redskins, but they spent the other three quarters playing catch-up. Washington controlled the game from the second quarter on and they held the ball for over 38 minutes. The Cowboys got away from their powerful running game early and their passing game was unable to handle Washington's defensive schemes.
Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett will need to get Marion Barber more involved against the Bengals, who are giving up almost 165 yards per game on the ground. That may not sit well with Terrell Owens who complained last week about not getting enough touches.
Cincinnati Head Coach Marvin Lewis may be feeling the heat from his team's pitiful start. The Bengals offense, which has been one of the best in the league over the last few seasons, is averaging just 13 points per game this year and they have shown no signs of reversing course.
Quarterback Carson Palmer did not start last weekend in the loss to the Browns and he is listed as questionable going into the Dallas game.
NFL Predictions Trend: The Over is 8-2 the last 10 times the Bengals played as a road underdog with a spread between 41.5 to 44.
